Quote by: xyzer From what I've read here few even know what Alito said or did.
tilefish decries
Alitos concern with the oppressive attitude of Princeton about military on the campus. I heard him say today he was in the ROTC program at the school and was not allowed to attend and had to get his ROTC credits at Trenton State( a neighboring school) This oppressive Princeton school regime which gave way to draft dodger and cowards during the Vietnam Warwould turn any fair minded person off!
Alito joined a campus group obviously to try to protest what was going on and is now branded as having joined an extremest group..It was he who was discriminated against. He was not allowed to get credits he was paying for. The fact that Princeton became CO-ED shoots down any protest that might have been made.
That unreformed drunk, Kennedy, as usual mumbled his false accusation and then when he got a rational answer didn't follow up...he just pulled another slanderous comment out of his jumbled brain. Taking another deep breath he ranted on in his usual disjointed nonsensical way. He was like many of the other Democrat assassination team not well enough prepared to ask follow up questions.
Any one who votes for a drunk, who got kicked out of school for cheating, killled his girl friend by abandoning her to drown, and caused his wife to become a hopeless alchoholic ought to have his head examined. Any one who bwlieves his stumbling diatribe at these hearings is in even worse shape!. The guy is a national disgrace! |
1) I merely tried to convey what I experienced living in New Jersey during this sametime.
2) Again I stand by Kennedy's comments as being clear and concise. Disagree fine . It should be noted that both Republican Bill Frist and Dem. Bill Bradley denounced the group as extremeist back then.
3) I never "decried" anything about Princeton's ROTC program or lack of there of. But as long as we are on that subject I applaud the protests to the senseless war effort in Vietnam during that era. It saved alot more young Americans from being killed. BTW I do not feel those that served were to blame for the Vietnam fiasco they served there country honorably the country used them.
4) Ted Kennedy has served his country by looking out for the common working man with health care legislation and helping seniors with medicare legislation. He has been suggested to be one of the most effective senators of our era.
5) Now if you want to talk about a "mumbling" politician lets talk about Bush introducing Alito yesterday morning at the White House. IMUS described it best. "He looked like a man drowning in a pool of words reaching for a dictionary"
Question: I didn't get a chance to see all the testimony today did Alito offer his joining of the extremist group as a "obvious" protest? Or is that your take from the testimony?
