Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) Misleads the Country

[gemini067]

Senator Leahy is a perfect example why we must elect an entirely new Government, all incumbents must be thrown out, Democrat or Republican. These people, including Nobama, are going to take America to depths we have never been, nor want to go. We must start in our towns and cities, throw all the bums out.

[jhouse770]

He has been misleading America since he has been in the Senate...watch his testimony during the Clarence Thomas nomination...dispicable.

[rsltracey]

oh this woman is pathetic... and so is your post about leahy... she's a racist pure and simple

[SkyhawkFlyer]

Her confirmation is a done deal and our Constitution is toast.

The Dimocrats want absolute control so they can become only more powerful and corrupt. Heck, they supported the attempt in Honduras and still do in spite of the facts.

[seans10]

Anyone else read Eugene Robinson's Wash Post column yesterday? He devoted a whole article to Sotomayor's "wise latina" remark and didn't even quote the offending word--better.

This was a 30 second take from testimony. The neocon retards give you this sound bite.This is not all they could come up with, but it is there ... Leaky Leahy mis-quoting to change the meaning of the quote. This is so silly, but there it is ... a lie. C'mon guys - we have a two party system. Thanks for having the balls to expose the lie.

This was a 30 second take from hours upon hours of testimony. The neocon retards dug deep for a sound bite to suport their cause. And this is all they could come up with. This is so silly. C'mon guys - we neeed a two party system. Please grow some balls.

[mrbriscoe2001]

Wow;t5o7m and fpm229 aren't sock puppets by any chance,are they?

[fpm229]

Truth hurts?

[coldboh]

Perhaps you should understand the point. Leahy says that he recalled the quote from memory and did not intend to leave out the "offending" remark. Clearly he is reading her supposed comments from a sheet of paper. This shows that he, like all the rest of those bastards, lied and believe we are too fucking stupid and lazy to do anything about it. You keep up all the political posturing, though, as it is doing us all real well.

[rivlax]

Democrats lie. It's in their DNA.

[yellowhoodedcid]

Awareness of the truth is required, before one can bend it, or recognize when it's being bent.

[MeLikeGoFast]

Bending the truth is a liberal art.

[vllmer]

We can't be trusted with the original facts, no, its got to be sliced and diced for us, pureed into something we can be spoon fed, so we don't know more than is convenient for our handlers like leahy and the fact softening bs language experts of the main stream media.

[dencal26]

Leahy is an embarrassment to America and the US Senate for taking the low road and lying in front of the American people. Does he think none of us read her quotes?

[beaver7216]

Obviously a serious lie on Leahy's part.  The problem with Sotomayor is that she may be a racist who wants to ignore the rule of law if it helps her racial/ethnic group. And Leahy totally and deliberately misquotes her, reading from notes. Does anyone support truth anymore?

[SonOfAsaph5]

It's time to retake our country from these criminals.

[61pickgun]

Leahy is just like the watery fecal matter on the end of an enema nozzle - no matter how you look at it, it's still full of shit.

[vwlarry]

You bring the tar, and I'll bring the feathers. We'll all go to DC and have us a tar 'n feather party! It'll be bipartisan, too. They ALL suck in that Capitol rat's nest.

[cbramwel]

With this administration and Congress, it's just one outrage after another. When are Americans going to stand up and retake their country?

[satxusa]

Sotomayor has reversed her "Wise Latina" remark during confirmation testimony. She either does not have the courage to articulate what she believes or was lying to those audiences in the past. Either choice reflects poorly on her character.

[OSweet2]

And now his excuse is that he was quoting from memory. But obviously from the video you see he's reading the quote, and deliberately euphemizing it when it gets dicey.

[duffer29]

leahy will not quote the speech correctly because it is an obvious racist statement.

but of course racist statements by a protected minority is just fine with the dems.

she''ll fit right in with this administration.

[ninjanerd8]

@duffer29 Any politician would fit in well with any administration because they're all fucked. The guise of hatred is a trick.

[BombasticBobby]

Leahy is just another lying sack of shit!

[chifour66]

Uh yeah, if that is what she had said for over 5 yrs in 7 different speeches it would have been fine. Leahy quoted the quote wrong, obviously on purpose. She thought she would reach a better decision being a latina woman more often than a white male. She liked saying it plenty the other times she said it, why lie?

[MagnumSerpentine]

Leahy did not mislead the country. the republic party needs to learn that they lost, they have no say so over who is picked for the Courts. Besides what in the world was Sessions talking about? He kept bringing up some judge from the past who was voted down by the Senate a few years ago.
