      How is this a "radical, leftist, ideologue"?

      Abortion

      In Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush, Sotomayor upheld the Bush administration's implementation of the "Mexico City Policy" which requires foreign organizations receiving U.S. funds to "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations". Sotomayor held that the policy did not constitute a violation of equal protection, as the government "is free to favor the anti-abortion position over the pro-choice position, and can do so with public funds".

        yeah... "THE WORST." Exagerate much, Pat? Does really think there couldn't be a "worser" nominee?

        This is the same BS that they puke out no matter WHO Obama picks.

        When, oh when, is God going to "call" this sorry sack of $#!t "home?"

          I liked how they threatened a filibuster before the name was announced.

      Funny... Every moderate in the country realizes they should STFU or "kiss their chances of regaining power away."

      What is it with these PREACHERS, either religious (like Robertson) or Political (like Limbaugh) that makes them so arrogant that they think that the Republicans can't win without them?

      EARTH TO PREACHERS: You will NEVER have any political power if you cannot win over at least half of the MODERATE, CENTRIST vote!!! Even Karl Rove knew this to be true! If the Repubicans can't win without YOU, and YOU can't abide any moderate / socially libertian positions, then you BOTH are doomed.

      Poor old fart bigoted Pat. Missing your power, preacher? And your alternative idea is? Oh I forgot, it's simply bashing the opposition. It's worked SO WELL before, so keep up the strategery and baptist GWB and Darth Cheeney while you're at it.

      Be honest, Pat. Somebody on Obama's staff yanked your card out of the Presidential Rolodex on Day One, and YOU CAN'T STAND IT. You long for the bygone days when you had a President who actually gave a gnat's fart about your opinion.

      Welcome to your well-deserved oblivion, Pat.

      To the RIGHT today is not about Sotomayor. Today is about fundraising, rabble rousing and good old fashioned paranoia. They would be going off the same script if he would have nominated Judge Judy. I pitty those fools. The American people know a con job when they see one. That is why Republicans have lost the last two elections.

      The four conservative judges on the SC are by far the biggest "activists". This is just another example of conservative projection; blame the dems for things you yourself do.

      How desperate. What this means is that the Reps must veiw Sotomayor as a very intelligent individual who can not be bought or bossed. Her philosophy must have a lot of reason and that liberal title must mean that she opinions regardless of race and gender. THere must have been adverse reactions to some of her decisions in the past or she must have prosecuted where no favortism or favors were accepted. I am sure that there is a lot of information in her past cases as to why the barage of insults. Investigate or ask her. She is probably too lady like to spill the beans even in the face of ridicule. And that is a sure talent and character asset.

      Just a guess.

      There goes Pat preaching to the choir, again. The good news though is that his choir is way smaller now. Why is this preacher so concerned about "Power"?

      Hey! Leave Pat alone.
      He took time off from scamming old ladies out of their money to appear on TV with his very Christian remarks.

      Don't let the mean people get you down, Pat. I hear God has a special place waiting for you when you leave this mortal coil. Be sure to pack for the heat.
