The more they talk the dumber and dumber they sound. Its beautiful.

I know of at least 3 vying for the nomination. I’m supporting John Fetterman, but would be equally pleased to vote for Katie McGinty or Joe Sestak in the general.

If Toomey thinks the next president should nominate the next justice, it will be one of these three voting on it. Pennsylvanians were the only state voters to kick out an unpopular Republican governor in 2014 (who incidentally embraced the Obamas), and we kicked the Republicans off the state supreme court in 2015.

(((Incidentally, a Republican state supreme court justice just resigned today as a result of the e-mail scandal uncovered by AG Kane. He is one of the people who voted to revoke her law license. There’s now only one Republican left on the state supreme court. )))

They (GOP) don’t even CARE how stupid they look anymore…it’s like they’ve given up trying!

Unless we get the counter-arguments out there. Their arguments are so lame that it is sometimes hard to bother to respond.

I’ll be donating and canvassing, and I’d gladly vote for any of the three currently declared Democratic candidates.

I got to mark my move to PA with a vote to get rid of Santorum, and would love to follow that up by sending this guy packing.

We’ve all got our jobs to do. Act locally, like my green friends say.

Worth repeating:

Toomey keeps saying he wants “the people to decide” (a totally spurious argument since the “People” don’t decide Supreme Court Justices and never did and Toomey knows it.)

However, if you buy Pat’s claim, then he needs to tell us why the organization he headed before his Senate election, the Club for Growth, is busily telling GOP candidates that IF they support Donald Trump, the C for G will NOT give them any money. Yeah…let the people decide indeed!

I asked him that directly and was advised in a form letter that it was a matter he could not respond to as a Senator but would have to refer to his campaign committee. So far, I haven’t heard anything from them. I suspect most of their time these days is being spent trying to respond one Obama and Garland come to PA and start asking questions about why Pat is refusing to do his job under the Constitution.

Sloppy, sloppy, logic and contrary to the Constitution. Dimwit!

Reality. Duty. Responsibility. Decency.

Damn. You Quaker Staters sure do like your box turtles.

The GOP isn’t going to do it first?

Joel Chandler Harris wrote a folk tale about just such a situation.

Obama’s nominee choice is all about embarrassing the GOP. As we knew it would be.

And they’re playing right into his hands.
