This takes the national discussion to an uglier level, because Republican hacks can only thrive in a hostile, ignorant, race-baiting atmosphere.<br /><br />LV, if Sotomayor was a white man (or a man of color), the attacks would still occur but "he" would be accused of being a liberal activist. I'm offering that speculation based on some of Sotomayor's rulings. I don't think gender is playing against Sotomayor as much, because the Republicans are very careful to curry the female vote in a post-Hockey Mom world. But, they still needed ammo against Sotomayor so their next best choice is to induce race-baiting arguments. Republicans do not realize that what they are doing is the equivalent of pulling a "Ashley Todd". They're carving a backwards "B" on their cheek and hoping everyone will believe their fake story about being attacked by psycho minorities.Mojopohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757696568553105239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23170863.post-68527301914255213272009-05-28T08:52:18.569-05:002009-05-28T08:52:18.569-05:00Now I get it!

It's Obama they oppose.

The only thing I got out of that were X-ray Specs and a mood ring that was always brownish green!<br /><br />As satisfied as I am to see the GOP lose political capital with Latin community, I could really do without the racism and sexism. The sound bites they bring and the out-of-context quotes are dragging the debate down to it's knuckles. They're OK with that incompetent boob Clarence Thomas, but they hate the smart Latina?<br /><br />For the life of me I can't figure out what Republicans think they have to gain by opposing Sotomayor's nomination. Mobilizing Whitey McNutjob? Inspiring the He Man Woman Hatin' Club? Are these the lofty goals to which they aspire? Jesus H.

If I were going on a Sotomayer pilgrimage, my first stop would be THIS Mojopost because it's replete with public transit detail. Wonderful! Heck, that fact alone justifies a rating of TEN!!!<br />___________<br /><br />As of this date, I have rated exactly 49 posts here at Mojopost. Remarkably, every single post has received a rating of ten. Collectively, that's 490 points! That means Mojo is a mere ten points from winning a new pro model, stainless steel food processor by Cuisin'art! This is not one of those ticky tacky plastic things most of you have on your kitchen counters -- this is STEEL, baby! I use mine to mix the batter for my petit fours which I decorate with the cutest little pink and gold filigree you've ever seen -- they're sooo cute, but I am not gay. Ten more points and you'll have one too, Mojo.
