Comfirmation hearings = smear campaign

Big Sky Redneck

That's all they are, I've listened for two days now and I cannot believe that the democrats are so vicious. Personal attacks on the candidates, using this as an opprotunity to attack Trump, mixed words with mixed feeling, where does it end.

Either vote the guys in or let it be. Jeff Sessions is not a nazi skinhead who is going to enslave women and blacks. Rex Tillerson is not going to let Exxon run the State Dept.

I listen to this garbage to learn, but when it turns into a smear campaign with the only purpose is to destroy reputations and further the victim mentallity I get angry. I hate politics.

They just can't stand anyone that might be competent or honest. They want crooked incompetents like Lynch and Holder that mirrors their values, or lack thereof.

They are DEMOCRATs. Lying is a natural act for these people. I still have not forgotten how they tried to destroy Ashcroft.

Wait till the SCOTUS confirmation starts. Anita Hills will be popping out of the woodwork.

DEMOCRAT slobbering propagandists and sleazy slime was evident at Trumps first press conference today.

discusdad

are you guys blind? this happens every confirmation hearing, regardless of who is in power. one side proclaoms the knight in shining armor, the other side claims he is the black death. its typical politics. yawn!

buschmaster

you are seeing what sort of scumbuckets they are. can you trust people like that when they are in power? hell no

Did you notice that the committee chairs are empty for the exception of one or two senators asking questions? This has nothing to do with vetting the nominee, it is all about scoring political points and getting themselves on the record. They pop in, make their statements, throw a couple hand grenade questions for the media and then they split. they have absolutely no interest in the nominees answers.

This one senator yesterday, Senator Booker testified against Sessions' nomination. The first time in history that a sitting senator testified against another senator in a nomination hearing. His entire purpose for testifying you ask?? To set up his presidential run in 2020. None of this has anything to do with truth. I am amazed that Sessions can maintain his composure, except he know its is all a meaningless BS circus.

Just a bunch of self serving scumbags, that have no interest in serving the people. It is really disgusting. [V]

God help these self serving politicos. They make a circus out of a fact finding and qualifying hearing. Shame on Corey Booker D (NJ) for embarrassing himself and his constituents. His fellow senator Jeff Sessions deserved more respect.

This countries founders would be sore disappointed that the systems so well designed have been malfactored by some. Disrespect the order of the day in the confirmation hearings.

I think they should make everyone set in chamber while each of them spout off whatever they want to say, If everybody had to listen to each other rant, may be a little less ranting......
