Clarence Thomas was NEVER qualified to be a Supreme Court justice.

And the Senator answered the question:

“Who would you NOT appoint to the Supreme Court?”

And he answered with the fact that Thomas didn’t meet his criteria.

Go ahead – spin – diddy – spin.

What, no mention of SCALIA not being fit?
What, only Black-American consideration, not Italian-American.

Scalia also is not more fit for supreme court justice than Thomas.

I am sick of this type of political hatchet jobs.

What country do YOU believe YOU live in?

Did any catch the forum with obama and McCain, what a crock obama, when they talked about religion Obama wanted to still say like he did 7 months ago, and in his book Rev, Wright, was his Mentor and spiritual advisor,
but like alway Obama fliped floped again and again,

Obama showed today he is not ready for the 3am phone call,, he would get scared, and start stammering again,

When Obama and McCain when they really debate, is Obama going to agree with everything McCain says, like he did with Hillary Clinton, and him give Obama all the answers ,,, and take him as his own later,,,
Just like Hillary,, Even CNN News claims Obama Adopted all of Hillary’s Agendas, Why so many Obama supporter can not think for them self, the love the reality TV crap, Rock star image, Boy is this country going to suffer if Obama elected,,, I am a Hillary Supporter, this will be the first year I vote Republican because I don’t believe in throwing alway my Vote, and to me it still best for the job,

But why oh why is obama being mean to Thomas? Does it really matter if he was or wasn’t qualified in obama’s mind? What on earth does obama know about being QUALIFIED for a job?

Shouldn’t obama be showing some respect to a fellow man of color? A man who is on the Supreme Court, representin’, as they say, a role model for young people of color (and even young people, in general, imagine that!) in the USA?

Why does obama, the black man that he is and won’t stop reminding us about, have no respect for Thomas? It’s outrageous, considering that, normally, brothers got to hang together. Thomas is certainly more respectable than sharpton or jackson, isn’t he? But, wait, Thomas, is considered an ”Uncle Tom”, right?

Well, obama, I do believe your ambition and ideology be getting in the way of your judgement. Again. But I guess we should be grateful that the man doesn’t even recognize his own racism. That way, he shows it to all of us and we can see what he is.

Of course, you right wingers & Hillary supporters would never say that John McCain disrespected close to half of the SCOTUS, isn’t that right?

Hypocrites. Anyone voting for McTeleprompter is one.

Because he believes himself to be better than 99.99% of the people he comes in contact with and certainly those that are on the other side of any issue he does not support.
