I am so sick of the arguement "He's already been confirmed by the Senate
4 times before.

They use this for their judicial appointments and now Bolton
B* said this repeatedly last night.

Well, Mr. President, in the Senate they have a saying, Maybe you have it in the White House too (Oh hell, no you don't):

'Fool me three times, shame, shame, shame on me. Fool me four times . . . won't be fooled again.'

2. . . . so just give up! you're too late!
I wonder if they ever hear themselves. "It's too late. We've already cheated, and you're too late."

4. I got a job working in a grocery store once
Since my bosses approved me for that can I be a supreme court judge?

It is a stupid argument.

5. I see where you are gtoing with this; I never thought of it that
way

So he was confirmed by the Senate previously- doesn't new information count?

Imagine someone being confirmed for a post,serving and then going back to private life where they engage in questionable activities

Called to serve again. Are those questionable activities off limits because that person has already been confirmed,albeit for a different job?

Their argument,like their agenda and their nominee is beyond words. Arrogant, self-serving and stupid do come to mind though

7. I'm sick of 'we want to do something but we want the dems to come up
with the plan'--this is REALLY worn out.

8. The Rethuglicans AND the MSM
... OK, so that is redundant - both think that the Rethugs are "the party of big ideas"

:grr:
