Who really gives a shit?

[boston bean]

I don't give one damn shit that Rhenquist is dead.

I do on the other hand give a shit that thousands upon thousand have been murdered in New Orleans.


edit for sp

[Extend a Hand]

1. I do

now millions of women in the U.S.A. are likely to loose the right to control their own bodies.

[boston bean]

2. Well I do care about that, but I don't care he is dead!

[DefenseLawyer]

17. Actually replacing Rehnquist won't do anything to help overturn Roe

Since no one he could nominate could possibly be more anti-choice than Rehnquist, you are just replacing one no vote with another.

[boston bean]

19. yes, but with the roberts nomination, we must tread lightly.

I agree with the above poster.

But I still don't care he is dead.

[tjdee]

3. Well, he's rich.....white.....

I'm actually kind of certain that Bush cares more about Rehnquist's death than he does about anyone in NO.

I'm getting angrier, again. This man died in his warm bed, surrounded no doubt by family....in a room with electricity, away from rapes and murders, dry.....

I can't believe how quick they dropped Katrina for this, and for how long. Seems as if this is what we are going to hear about now.

[Corgigal]

12. and if he was lucky enough to get into the gates of heaven

he entered with thousands of drowned poor black people.

Karma, my friend.

[SofaKingLiberal]

4. Yes, I still give a shit about them, but I also

give a shit about the future of our country and salvaging what we have left of a democracy.

[tjdee]

6. Is Bush making an appointment tomorrow?

Are hearings taking place tomorrow?

If not, I think I can wait to hear all the pointless speculation going on all three cable networks right now.

5. I give 10,000,000 shits about NOLA. Rehnquist can wait nt

[H2O Man]

7. It could be a rumor

just to sell more of his albums.

[boston bean]

8. lol

[SofaKingLiberal]

9. This did come as a surprise and a lot of use are venting right now

I'm sure it will pass and be put on the back burner shortly, so we can get back to the disaster and the disaster of a rescue operation.

[boston bean]

10. Not judging DU, I just don't give a shit that he is dead. nt

[jzodda]

11. I agree...we have a national crisis...politics goes to the back of the bus

[PatriotGames]

16. Politics ass is glued to front seat of the bus. Everything revolves

around politics in some way or another.

[DefenseLawyer]

21. Better learn to compartmentalize

because the big wheel keeps on turnin'. We can't just ignore everything else because we care about NO, because the Bushies won't be ignoring it. Rolling over on this won't help solve the hurricane debacle, but it will impact our country for 30 or 40 years.

[jzodda]

27. your right

Its pretty hard right now to do, but I realize you are right :(

[SofaKingLiberal]

13. That just sent us to level 3

[cynatnite]

14. I care because of how this will affect the country

he'll get a rw nutjob neocon of some type who will help bring in a theocracy and dump abortion. This is not good at all.

Yes, thousands are dead and the media cares more about this since it just happened not long ago. The news gluttony on this will pass.

[enid602]

15. *

Bush probably went to the hospital and pulled the plug on him just to create a diversion. The SC personnel changes of late seem to be very well timed.

[saracat]

18. But thousands of women will lose their civil rights and that is i

intolerable. And thousands will either die or have their lives ruined. Women and persons of color will officially have no standing. May Bush rot forever.

[Liberal Veteran]

20. It changes nothing....

We all knew this was coming. So we replacement right wing ideologue to replace the former one.

Zero-sum game.

It wasn't like we expected him to hold on another 3.5 years anyway.

The best we can hope for is that in Bush's current politically weakened position he'll try to appoint someone that isn't to the right of Sean Hannity, but I ain't holding my breath.

[Sparkly]

22. Yup. Had to expect this.

Chief Justice Scalia. :mad:

And two more anti-choice rightwingers.

[blonndee]

23. I do too. Bye bye, control of my uterus. nt

[Liberal Veteran]

26. Not really...look at it realistically..

One right winger replaced with another. It sucks, but honestly, Sandra Day O'Connor was a greater loss than this.

[blonndee]

28. I totally agree with you on the O'Connor thing. But with Roberts and

ANOTHER RW mfer, how long can we really excpect our civil rights to last? "We hold these truths to be self-evident" my ass...we've had to fight for the little we DO have and now the little we do have is so imperiled.

[boston bean]

24. I just meant that I didn't give a shit that he was dead. Not all the

repercussions I know we face.

I am focused right now on New Orleans.

[wisteria]

25. The New Orleans rescue should be the top story. n/t
