Why the
President refuses to point out what a traitor
Pat Leahy is is a mystery to me. Here is a
man who resigned from a senate committee for
leaking information that got people killed.
Here is a man who to this day refuses to
bring federal judical appointments up for a
vote, risking national security. Here is a
man worried about the rights of terrorists
sent here to kill US citizens. Here is a man
who never spoke out against the rapist yet
felt free to harass AG Ashcroft. A man who
leahy is not even qualifed to clean his
tiolet. George Bush should be talking to the
people of Vermont and the United States about
what a danger this traitor is to the country
and how we would be better off if this person
never sets foot in the US senate again after
his term expires.

Questions
we'd love to hear the mainstream media ask
Sen. Leahy, but never will:
1. Senator, one of the Judiciary Committee's
primary roles is to approve nominees for
vacant Federal judgeship positions. Why
aren't you doing your job?
2. Senator, when you were a child and got
this whiny, did your mother slap you or just
lock you in the root cellar for an hour?
3. Senator, you have publicly complained of
the lack on consultation on important,
confidential matters by the Bush
Administration. In light of your inability to
keep your damn fool mouth shut when American
lives are at stake, are you really all that
surprised?
4. (from Helen Thomas) Senator, I have a red
pony. His name is Mittens. Are you a
Demmycrat? Bluubbblullblublll...
5. Senator, how long have you been suffering
from menopause?
It'll never happen, but it's nice to
fantasize sometimes.

This little

won't win any arguement about the tribunals--
and don't care.
They just want to make sure nobody notices
they are crippling the judicial system by
delaying approval of the President's
nominations for the federal court.
It is time for the President to take on the
enemy within. Expose Leahy and Dashle for
what they are -- people more interested in
gaining power than in democracy and the
survuval of American freedom.

As one who

don't care about the truth, etc. when it
comes to their representatives. No matter
what the Clintons, the Leahys, the Condits,
of the world do, the most you could hope for
is that the voters would stay home. They
would never, NEVER, vote for a Republican.
Folks in my workplace were absolutely aghast
and heartbroken to learn that I had
"gone over to the dark side." I'm
something of a pariah. They are convinced of
their own intellectual and spiritual
superiority and would join the Taliban before
they would do anything remotely seen as
supporting a Pubbie.
That said, continue to scream long and loud
about these outrages. The good news is that
many, many people are tuned out and
apolitical like I was for so long and will
eventually respond when the stench overwhelms
them.

LEAHY THE
LIAR (HIS POSITION ON JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS IN
1999 WHEN THERE WERE LESS THAN 70 VACANCIES,
NOW THERE ARE OVER 100!!):
Leahy, Ranking Member of the Committee, said
when commenting on the unacceptedly slow pace
of judicial confirmation in 1999, "We
are not doing our job . . . We are really
being dishonest and condescending and
arrogant toward the judiciary."
Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member
Patrick Leahy wryly noted, "[t]he only
thing the Judiciary Committee does not `hold’
any more is judicial confirmation
hearings."
Leahy urging the Senate to act promptly to
fill the federal bench vacancies that
"threaten the efficient administration
of justice."
Leahy decried the conservative threat to
block all judicial nominations in the next
year as
""a reckless and disproportionate
response. . . The target here may be the
president, but the hostage is the criminal
and civil justice system . . . It’s the
holiday season and the end of an era. The
country would cheer if we would just leave
behind this poisoned political atmosphere as
a relic that we do not intend to carry into
the new millennium""

Last week,
Republicans sent Sen. Leahy a letter saying
that "once the anti-terrorism
legislation is completed, there is no higher
priority than filling the vacancies that
exist in our federal courts." The
letter, signed by every Republican on the
Judiciary Committee, reminds Leahy that the
Senate has confirmed just twelve of the 60
judicial nominees the President has sent to
the Hill.
* In 1999, Sen. Leahy called it a
"crisis" that the federal courts
had 70 unfilled seats. Now, on his watch,
there are 106 vacancies.
* In 1999, when there were about half the
vacancies there are now, Sen. Leahy claimed
that "any week in which the Senate does
not confirm three judges is a week in which
the Senate is failing to address the vacancy
crisis."
* Today, nearly 13 percent of the federal
judiciary is empty because Sen. Leahy refuses
to schedule hearings for President Bush's
nominees.
* 106 federal judgeships are currently
vacant, 40 of those vacancies have been
declared "judicial emergencies,"
and on one appeals court -- the Sixth Circuit
-- 7 of 16 seats are empty. Although this
dwarfs the 70 vacancies that Sen. Leahy has
referred to as a "vacancy crisis,"
the Senate has only confirmed 12 of the 60
men and women nominated to the federal bench
this year.
* In March 1998, when there were 82
vacancies, Senator Leahy said: "Those
who delay or prevent the filling of these
vacancies must understand that they are
delaying or preventing the administration of
justice."
* In March of 2000, when there were just 75
vacancies, Senator Daschle said: "There
is a dire shortage--we have a judicial
emergency right now, throughout the country.
And it's important for us to respond to that
emergency, confirm the many, many judges
whose nominations are still languishing
either in committee or on the floor."
* The "Wall Street Journal" said of
Leahy's performance: "By any definition,
this is an abuse of Senate power." WSJ
10/18/01
* One out of eight judgeships is vacant,
awaiting hearings and confirmation of men and
women who have been appointed by President
Bush.
* The lack of judges on the federal bench is
creating a backlog in the federal judicial
system. As a result, criminal trials are
being postponed daily. As Sen. Leahy himself
said in March 1998: "Judges delayed
means justice denied. Without judges, courts
cannot try cases, sentence the guilty, or
resolve civil disputes. Partisan and narrow
ideological efforts to impose political
litmus tests on judicial nominees and to shut
down the judiciary must stop."

national security, he said you will have to
ask the senator that question. It was a sham.
I am sure the questions were prepared by
Leahy himself. I saw him on the Today show,
with the perky Katie asking him why he wanted
to run for the Senate. He simply said that
there was too much grid lock in the
government and he thought he could make a
difference. Does anyone else remember the old
gentleman? I was pulling for the old man,
even then and I did not know much about Leaky
at the time. I too dread the Hearings with
Ashcroft. He is such an honorable man and
those dims on the committee treat him like
dirt. I can't wait to see how Ted K. will
treat him this time, since Aschroft was so
kind to he and his family, when the Justice
Building was named for his brother a few
weeks ago. I thought the hearings were
tomorrow. ANyone know what time?

Uh-oh: This
is not a good day for the Democrats. Just
when they were getting their vaudeville act
ready for the talkshow circuit ("We're
in a Bush recession." "The sky is
falling and it's all the Bush Adminstration's
fault." etc.) the economy is threatening
to do a major turn-around. The Dow is over
10,000; NASDAQ is over 2,000, and several key
economic indexes are way up.

Hello, Mr
Leaheeeeeeee! Where were you when Billy
started bombing Serbia without Congress
okaying it first!? Oh, that wasn't a war, it
was just NATO forces dropping explosives from
high altitudes to create peace in a very old
conflicted land. The U.S. couldn't stand by
and do NOTHING while Impeachment was making
such a big stink for your hero!
Darn, I forgot, Hilly made Billy do it!

Kelly's piece needs to be published daily to
remind the stupid that this is a war against
the American people. It should be read daily
to the kids in school. I bet most of you
posters already knew of what Kelly wrote
about. It's kind of a duh thing. Leahy is a
self-righteous fool who puts his putz ahead
of the needs of the country. May he and all
of his ilk become un-elected. Let's hope VT
wises up on this creature.

I love that
line, "Leahy has his dress over his
head." Brings back memories of my
childhood. Little girls who don't get
attention sometimes, yell, and stamp their
feet and when attention does not come their
way, pull up the dress, in public, of course,
it always works. But this is a grown man.
Good Lord, one would think that the President
does not have a right to suggest the use of a
tribunal for non-citizens who have been
identified as terrorists. And if I hear one
more news reporter stating that they don't
want Americans to be at the mercy of a
tribunal, I will pull my dress up over my
head too. Get your act together or sit down
and shut up, Leahy.

The fact that
Leahy received an anthrax letter makes it
unlikely the anthrax came from Middle Eastern
terrorists. There are many other targets with
a higher profile and a voting record that is
much tougher on terrorists.

My email to
Senator "Depends" (again, knowing
full well how useless it is to contact these
bozos, only to be instantly deleted by the
lackies who man their email services):
Regarding your apparent opposition to
military tribunals and concern that the
President might be stepping on somebody's
civil rights, I am angered that you seem to
be more interested in the rights of
terrorists who intend us harm than you are in
my rights as an American to be protected from
such people.
The hard facts are military tribunals are
necessary because: (1) this is a threat
unlike any we have faced in our history; (2)
our criminal justice system is not prepared
for anything like this; and (3) sadly,
because of the legal profession in this
country, the US justice system runs a high
risk of not being able to mete out proper or
speedy justice for these war criminals.
I respectfully request you concentrate your
efforts on filling the numerous vacancies in
the federal judiciary and leave prosecution
of the war to the President as is his
constitutional duty.

Something tells me that Leahy is leading the

Something tells me that Leahy's behavior is

Something tells me that elected officials of

I went to
www.vermontliving.com and went to the bottom
of the page. There is an email address:
info@vtliving.com
This goes to the magazine (Vermont Living)
for the VT Chambers of Commerce and the VT
Travel Association. It is for people to write
to asking for information on business and
travel advice in Vermont. The folks who open
these emails are geared to service and will
probably cringe and have nightmares about
what I told them. I said that there was a
growing, nation-wide movement to avoid
Vermont and all its products because there is
wide-spread belief that Leahy is anti-Bush
and pro-Taliban, especially since he was
kicked off of the Intelligence Committee for
releasing classified information and causing
the deaths of Americans.
Maybe if they get enough of these, questions
will be asked in Vermaont.

However, Vermont politicians change with the

Post #17 has
it exactly right. I've been trying to make
this case for the past several years.
Americans need to hit States like Vermont in
the pocketbook, and make it hurt. There is no
excuse for the Senators or Congresscritters
of small states to threaten the integrity of
the nation's security.
The boycott is the most powerful weapon we
have against the tyranny of malevolent 'RATs
like Senator Depends and the State he
represents. Afterall, if he didn't represent
their views, they wouldn't vote for him,
would they? So let's hurt them bad by
boycotting their products and services.

No judges = no guilty sentences for the

As a
Vermonter I can tell you that many of us are
sick of the elected officials in our state as
well. I have to agree that a boycott of
products may well be the only way to get the
ear of the liberals that have taken over this
state.
I would hesitate to lump all Vermonters
together though. Please don't think that we
are all "Greenies" or whatever term
you have for left wing liberals. We are not.
I am a conservative. After the mixed success
of the "Take Back Vermont" and
"Remember in November" campaign of
the last election cycle, I am not optimistic
for the future of politics in our tiny state.
Other products from Vermont include
Burton Snowboards and IBM (they have a
microchip production facility in Northern VT)
as well as Eveready batteries. I worry about
the idea of boycotting though because this
seems an ineffective way of reaching the
citizenry you hope to convince. Unfortunatly
I don't have any good suggestions. Skiing (in
particular) and tourism (in general) would
have the most impact on the state (in my
humble opinion).
PS - The old farmer is Fred Tuttle. It was a
joke. There was a movie made before the
election called "Man with a Plan",
it just got way out of hand. Someone decided
he should actually go on the ballot... If I
remeber correctly (it's a bit fuzzy) I think
he conceeded the race halfway through the
night but he was winning (just goes to show
you...) He's become a legend in the state. We
have a bumper sticker around here that says
"Spread Fred" how's that for a
slogan!

I feel for my conservative brother in VT, but
the fact is the libbos leak over the borders

Dumbocrat.
I would hazard a guess that most of VT are NY

But I agree, ski NH, hit 'em where it hurts

Why stop at
boycotting? Why not write to your
CongressCritter and demand that they vote to
withhold any and all federal dollars
earmarked for projects in Vermont, as long as
the Three Stooges are voted into Congess.
Think how much THAT will hurt!
Of course, every boob in Congress would HTE
that to happen in his state, so it probably
won't fly.
I used to ski Vermont, but I found the people
up there unusually rude. I fell down suddenly
at the entrance to a lift line and had
trouble righting myself. An old Vermonter
skied up and screeched at me for blocking his
way (there were other entrances to the line,
but I was where the line was shortest). He
didn't help or offer to help, just whined
that I was in his way.
On another trip, I was putting my skis into a
tote preparatory to leaving when a
10-year-old Vermont lad stepped between my
skis and began a shouted conversation with
his family. I couldn't finnish packing and
was fed up with VTers, so I told his if he
wanted to keep that foot, he ought to move
it. He stared at me in shock and I shouted
"move" and he did.
