    Hay! I was born in America and am still alive, that must be why nobody asked me! P.S GOD BLESS ISRAEL!!!!!

  2. Minuteman79 says:

    No…but due to her Catholic faith, many have speculated that she may be…however, there are good Catholics and not so good Catholics…but no, I don't personally belive the is pro-life, or at least not enough to want to stick her neck out for that issue. I just wanted to see what others thought if she was.

  3. TrmLmts says:

    When liberals get caught in a lie or occasionally the truth “I am smarter than white men” –SotoMayor, their Pravda media mouthpieces talk about “walking back the comment”. Example: Mara Liason on FoxNews last night.

    I never remember anyone in the Bush administration getting a do over from the media.

  4. fmb501 says:

    The vast majority of Americans have no clue who sits on the Supreme Court so it's no surprise to me that most 54% of American citizens and illegal aliens are clueless about Sotomayor as well..

  5. detestObama says:

    It just shows that the uninformed public will support anything Obama puts on a plate, and will devour whats on the plate. But, things will change for those who support Obama, when it starts impacting their wallet. I feel there is a change of heart a blowing in from the East right now, and people are slowly starting to realize what a huge mistake they made supporting Obama.

  6. kauaidaze says:

    Did we the people just pay for another poll that only tells us what the Dems want us to believe? I don't pay attention to these polls anymore. They are like the studies that come out skewed toward the interests of whomever is paying for them. While I think it is wonderful that Pres. Obama is considering a Hispanic woman, she appears to be ultra-liberal and has an interesting interpretation of the Consititution. I am sure there are many female minority judges that are qualified to be a chief justice and have less, what is the term now, "progressive" stances on interpreting the laws of our forefathers.

  7. GRuss says:

    Being that the MSM won't print anything negative about her, I doubt many have heard the full context of her comments. As usual they smooth over anything leftist and run smear campaigns on anything conservative.

  8. luckydog1 says:

    Obama is the community organizer that can create mass ego. Easy to do with the weak minded.
    I have read Sotomayor's speech in full and if she still believes what she said to be true today then she is a racist.. This country needs a person, whatever sex, color, background to simply fulfill the sacred duty of upholding the Constitution. All men are created equal ( yes, that includes women)
    Conservatives may not be able to stop her nomination, however this is a fantastic opportunity to show this country what the core principles on which this nation was founded upon. The very principles that made us great! Our founders were wise men. They wrote the Constitution to try to protect us from our moments of weakness. When we find ourselves letting the criminal get more "empathy" than victim. A rough childhood may the the REASON someone commits a crime, but it should never be used as an EXCUSE.

  9. Gallup is a left left polling outlet, she is a racist thats a fact no dispute

  10. SPOT_OF_TEA says:

    The dems control the senate and the only thing that they demand from a future supreme court justice is that they are pro choice…….If Ms Sotomayor is pro choice she is in the clear……If she is pro life,all she has to do to be the next supreme court justice is to become pro choice…..If it turns out she has to change her ideology,I'm sure that a meeting with Arlen Specter will help ease her conscience.

  11. cjhbe says:

    unfortunately elections have concequences and this one has some really scary ones…this Supreme Court appointment…the distruction of our financial institutions and buisness…the fact that the welfare rolls are growoing because of the unemployment…how many tax payers will be left and now will any one be able to come before the Supreme Court and feel that they are being given a fair hearing without thinking…oh my does "she" empathize with me…John McCain was not my first choice for president but I think his appointments would have been more in line with someone who would rule in favor of the Constitution instead of how they empathize with the situation…

  12. lisale says:

    Gallup can be slippery. Their analysis seems to be self serving, here…to make the meaning of this poll more important than it is. The article said that "most Americans surveyed" said they were "closely following" the news. What does that mean? "Most" means 60%…hardly overwhelming. And "closely following?" With the issue being top of the news for two weeks, now, it's hard to miss. This doesn't mean these people were in any way informed about her nomination.

  13. AmericanOnly says:

    Polls are subjective and used to influence the weak minded. I don't believe it for a second….

  14. MR2 says:

    Rush Limbaugh should endorse Sotomayor. That will do more to sink her nomination than anything I can think of.

    • sicofit says:

      He did just that today. The drive byes were reporting it before the end of his show. Dumb sheep!! But I did so enjoy it. He planted the seed that she might be pro-life?

      • thinker67 says:

        She is Roman Catholic. So, now the group Freedom from Religion is saying that Obama shouldn't have nominated her because if she get confirmed there will be 6 Catholic justices. They're saying that that is not enough diversity.

    • tvlgds says:

      Hmmmmmm—reverse psychology! Might work, at that! ;)

  15. dong11 says:

    Since when can anybody belive Gallup poll or any other poll .

  16. That's not a strong number, just a barely number and that is BEFORE the Ricci case ruling comes out of the Supreme Court.

    If the Supreme Court over turns Ricci (New Haven Firefighters), then the reverse discrimination discussions will have the volume cranked up. If the confirmation hearings are NOT rushed as Obama wishes, then the full effect of the discussion can be heard. Obama may have put up Sotomayor to bunt. She may get tossed by a lack of Dem support and then Obama can take another swing at this appointment.

    Anybody notice that Eileen Kagan weighed in on moving Guantanamo detainees to the US, saying that it wasn't OK. Is this an orchestration? Wouldn't put it past the Administration. Run down the clock w/ Soto and then have to push someone else thru in a hurry.

    The old "hurry, it's a crisis" strategy is a loser for the country, don't be surprised if we see extra innings.

  17. Minuteman79 says:

    On a different note…There is speculation that she might be a pro-lifer…That being said, there would be a possibility of reversing Roe v.s. Wade…But here is the real question, should anyone ignore their principles and confirm someone anyway based issue stance? Or should we accept this for a chance to finally put an end to the genocide that has run rampant for decades? Bring in a raceist who doesn't understand her role as a judge, but who could potentially help reverse a horrible decision made by a previous court.?.?.?

    • allanhitch says:

      That's a tough call.

      On purely ethical grounds, of course one must look only at the persons' ability to understand and measure by the Constitution and applicable law.

      Well, that's the ideal. In all honesty though, I'll own up to my own human imperfection and simply state that I believe in using the enemies own tools against them. They've brought issue-based evaluation to bear and all manner of personal attack (look at the disgusting treatment of Clarence Thomas). God forgive me, but I'll gain back ground any way I can. Maybe we should look at her stance on the issues, and then decide if we gain more than we gag on.

    • tallyho says:

      Do you believe that? She is Pro-life!

      • Boopster says:

        tallyho, think she is more of a leaner on the issue not really for but not against. When she passed Feinsteins questioning on precedent being what to base decision alluding to the Roe v Wade decision, basically she said no reversal it is law and precedent is established. Think she would be against extending the boundaries past 21 weeks though. I also think she was a crappy nomination and I would not confirm her she does not see Justice as blind and will actively pursue her ideology from the bench. Just my opinion.

    • TunaBlue says:

      Roe v Wade should remain in place and unchanged.

    • TJwasright says:

      I cannot imagine even for a second Obama nominating someone who might reverse Roe v. Wade. He would have the wrath of the whole Democratic Party to contend with, and he needs them on board in order to push the remaining parts of his socialist domestic agenda and his anti-Israeli plans.

    • 1Mississippi says:

      Are you willing to give away half a dozen 'sacred cows' to gain one? And you don't even know if this is true or not~

  18. SEM1013 says:

    This should not be a popularity contest. Unless she does keep in bounds with the Constitution, I hope she does get challenged on the parts which may point to judicial activism. I would be fine if she does stay within the Law.

  19. Prepared1 says:

    I really don't care what the darn polls say. I don't remember anybody bringing them up for Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings either. And if the polls mean everything, then why is gay marriage up for discussion?

  20. Prepared1 says:

    54% of how many people? I really don't care what the darn polls say. I don't remember anybody bringing them up for Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings either. And if the polls mean everything, then why is gay marriage up for discussion?

  21. americanj says:

    LaTimes- another of Obama's state run media. So, it is not surprising that they came out with these numbers as they can work the numbers to fit their agenda. They say 54% want her confirmed. Why that number? Oh, that's the percentage Obama won the popular vote. Surprise, surprise!!!

  22. Rahthrae says:

    Most people in this nation have been turned off of anything the government does for many many years. They don't know, don't care, and don't want to know because politicians have lied and gamed so much for so many years most people just see names as Liar (R) or Liar (D). If the people polled were not plugged into talk radio/Fox News I doubt they know much of Sotomayor other than talking point sound bites from leftwing papers or t.v. media. Hell, look at the piece NYT did on the woman. That says it all. I have no faith in polls. I have made them, and you can make the results say anything you want them to say either by the way things are worded, the type of sampling you do, or how you play with the numbers. That is as much of a shell game as our politics. The fact Republicans are more cautious means they want to make sure they get re-elected. Principles and values have been ejected for the most part in our politics which is why most of us are here to start with.

  23. DaveTX says:

    A Quota Queen for the Court

    http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=32093

    A good article by Buchannan

    "But why should Puerto Ricans like Sotomayor, who were never subjected to slavery or Jim Crow — their island was liberated from Spain in 1898 by the United States — get racial or ethnic preferences over Polish- or Portuguese-Americans?"

    • Minuteman79 says:

      I enjoyed this part of the article…"she co-chaired a coalition of non-black minorities of color that demanded more Latino professors and administrators. "

      Sooo, not only does she not like white folks, but black folks as well…I wonder how she will treat other minorities besides latinos?

  25. We call that gerimandering out here in CA. The districts for the House are so lopsided that the Dem's live in a Dem held area, the Rep's in the Rep held area…and no matter how bad these IDIOTS are…we can't get rid of them on either side of the isle.
    Add to that the fact that 80% of voters simply vote for whomever has the right letter after their name that agrees with their letter after their name and ….off you got…stupidity…and the voters get what the voters deserve.

  26. Minuteman79 says:

    Of course we want her confirmed! She thinks she knows better than any of our founding fathers, because having too little pigment in your system coupled with the Y chromosome apparently makes you dumb. I mean that is her logic right?

    "A Gallup poll released today shows 54% of Americans want to see her confirmed to the Supreme Court." Now this is from the Los Angeles Times…did they do this poll exclusively in LA?

  27. mwb1951 says:

    Unfortunately most Americans don't give the Supreme Court much thought. We one this board are the exception. We need to talk to everyone we know about this, ask them to write to their Senators to encourage them to fight this nomination. We need to assemble information, present it calmly and rationally to everyone we know. A ground swell can make difference.

  28. jmperry1967 says:

    There are 3 ways to lie–tell the outright untruth, tell a half-truth, or use statistics. Having a background in mathemathics, I know there are many ways to use stats in propaganda and bend the truth. This use of these poll numbers can now be used by the gutless senators such as my own, Cornyn from Texas, to use as a smoke screen to cower to the messiah's choice.

  29. goldnhorde says:

    i wonder why they bothered to do this.

    Yeasterday I was flat out told to shut up and that hse was getting here seat and no one could stop it.

    is this supposed to be a chocolate coating to that? am i supposed to be comforted that … and this is only if this poll is true and i have no faith in it …. but am i suppodsed to be comforted that 54 % of americans need electro-shock therapy and lithium?

    I just don't beleive anymore. I don't beleive that massachusetts elects barney frank or new york keeps schumer. i mean these guys are class a morons. so who cares what a poll says. it says they just make up this crap to me at best. and at worst it says to me that a majority of americans are just lazy and stupid. and i don't believe that …. do the math

  30. Sallie says:

    HAHA! Losers!

    And there is nothing you can do to stop it…

    • TXTJ says:

      Just curious Sallie, are you a Have-not or a Have a little and want more? Without Capitalism we are all Have-nots. Freedom of choice is removed, the competitive spirit dies. The current move toward the fantasy that is utopia has not worked anywhere in the world when attempted, and that is because those who seek it forget about those on your own side. The mindset of a drug dealer is self fulfilling, the mindset of a gang member is group think in the most negative sense. Illegals beg for your support and you give it, and behind your back they mock you. I know, I live in Texas where they laugh at you and say they would rob you first because you are the easiest target. Your empathy is your own deep pitted resentment for personal failures. It is clear you are in this site seeking somewhere to belong because you are lost and worried, your statement, "and there is nothing you can do to stop it" brings fear to you. I am a Have because I earned it through hard work and goals, you will always be a have not, so who is the real loser here? Sorry Sallie you are lost and at this point there is nothing you can do about it.

    • kckshrugged says:

      Sallie – do you support a racist?

    • Edf says:

      We may lose this battle but be assured we will not give up. This nomination reaffirms the need for term limits, at least for our Senators, so our courts are not filled with activist judges.

    • Walt1 says:

      You are right Sallie, there is nothing one can do to stop a dictator and his dictates. Oh well nothing new, the democrat party was founded on racisim.

      • allanhitch says:

        Indeed, Walt1!

        You are certainly on to something.

        Brother Martin was a Republican (anyone who truly understands what his message was, and subscribes to it, is his brother, by his own words). Condoleeza Rice grew up in a Republican household because the Democrat party turned her father away when he tried to register. Segregation was kept alive by Southern "Democrats". I could go on and on about the party stance. It would be a long diatribe.

        While it was Jefferson who actually founded the Democrat party, and did so as the party of the Constitution, the party was hijacked long ago by the likes of Huey Long, (a devout communist and who refused to take a stand on the Ku Klux Klan) and Woodrow Wilson (who officially segregated federal offices and promoted racism and the Klan)

        Walkt1, Hazmatguy, it's called "Personality Projection". They have these iniquities within themselves and can not stand the absence of them in others. In order to take the burden and focus off their wickedness, they ascribe the same traits to us even though no such qualities exist.

        Understanding them as I have come to, when I hear the lunatic left scream "RACIST", it always makes me feel better.

        Rest well in the knowledge that you have done something right. In the end, the left will be recognized as the bigots they are.

        All the best.

    • tallyho says:

      You are the loser!!!!!

    • fande3rls says:

      little child you do not know what you are about to lose do you? you think that Obama is for you He is not He is about Power . his only concern is to turn this country in a Fascist state where . you are under absolute control in every part of your life from food to what car, what you wear, where you go. YOUR liberties Will be gone.
      but pardon me if I don't join in your foolishness.

    • HazMatguy says:

      Sallie, You're a racist.

      The thing you don't realise is for as much as YOUR types compare us to racist groups, YOUR types are MORE on par with them than we are. Like them, YOU are a racist bigot who is willing to determine just WHO deserves what freedoms and rights. YOU are are a racist bigot to support someone who believes that one race (and Gender) is more superior to another. YOU are willing to support someone who interjects RACE into the equation. Justice Samuel Alito grew up in a situation much the same as Sotomayor did. He was a POOR ITALIAN-AMERICAN whose mother died when he was young, but he didn't thump his chest and say how much BETTER he was than Germans or Irish or Polish. He didn't play the race card just because of his status as the son of immigrants.

      If you want to make this about race, you better be able to take what you dish out because two can play at that game sir or madam.

      So… why don't you do humanity a favour, take your immaturity and lack of understanding back to your 9/11 conspiracy meetings and protests. Go back to San Francisco, take Pelosi and Sotomayor with you. Leave the rest of us alone and go save the swamp rats and illegal aliens using YOUR money and YOUR time. Leave my money, my country, and us "WHITE people" alone. Because obviously we don't know as much as Hispanic females do, I mean we're just ignorant "white people" clinging to our guns and our religion, what do we know. (sarcasm) There is obviously some flaw to Sotomayor's premise, I mean, isn't it funny how NOT ONE of the individuals who wrote the Declaration of the Independence or the United States Constitution was a Hispanic female, they were all "old white men", imagine that!

      Yeah, that's right, I just pulled the race card Sallie, don't open up that can of worms… Congratulations, we are now playing the race game.

      I didn't want to go there Sallie, but you took us there, along with the countless comments from Obama, Sotomayor and Pelosi, so here we are, plain and simple. What else do you want to start? Oh I know, I hate being called "white" so Sallie, could you please phone up Sotomayor and tell her that I refuse to be lumped into the "white" category, I am a Scottish-Prussian-American… hows that grab you?

    • OldMarine says:

      Spoken like a typical, double standard liberal. It is amazing how the left can try to destroy a Black judge, a couple of Hispanic nominations, an Italian- American, all conservatives and none have made any statement even remotely racist, but the left are not considered racists. Yet a latina judge who is on "film" of making a racists statement, making statements about setting policy from the bench (which I believe is not what a judge is suppose to do) and if the right calls her out it, then we are racists or anti woman, If this is not a double standard, then I've never seen one. Frankly any nomination that BH0 makes, will be in lock step with his beliefs, and therefore, you can not trust anything coming from the WH. By the way when is the left going to stop using, race, sex, and class warfare, by don't they engage is a face to face debate on facts, oh I forgot cowards and terrorists can't fight face to face, they have to sneak around.

    • luckydog1 says:

      I usually find that people with this much anger have never been a happy person. Why the hate???

  31. CULATR2 says:

    I am tired of the slow death of America. Bring on the total agenda now. This is torture and it's mind bending to watch the slow unraveling of everything strong about America and the villification of the conservative core values we hold dear. It saps your soul to watch it happen slowly.

  32. pslwd says:

    I wonder who they talk to get this information? This information does not seem accurate.

  33. jbacs says:

    This poll is not very accurate simply because it was probably shown to people who know absolutely nothing about this new judge and therefore they probably said yes simply based on supposition.

  36. Kristinb5 says:

    Gallup didn't ask me!

  37. MikeinIdaho says:

    Pollsters, in general, are the same as the so-called MSM. That is, they are in permanent liplock with Obama's butt.

  38. Bouttogo says:

    Gallop has never called me. I want to be heard too. This just ain't fair.

  39. Walt1 says:

    This only goes to show that "a majority of Americans" are idiots. Soto is a racist oligarc that belives policy is created from the bench. Policy may well be "created from the bench" but it was not intended to be so. I think Ben Franklin had a few words to say about this sort of thing.

    • AmericanOnly says:

      This is a poll, polls are subjective, I believe this one is propaganda. Polls reflect whatever the poll taker wants it to. I don't believe this to accurate… This soto is psycho, has no regard for the constitution, at least the U.S. constitution, and will be a disaster for the supreme court & our nation…

  40. TJinVa says:

    Oh boy Gallup did another poll!! More useless drive-bye media type of "news" to try and pursuade people to think like "the majority" and fall in line.

  41. poorboy says:

    Ok, lets have a poll. Has anyone reading this ever been contacted by the gallop poll? This should help us out.

  42. gk4freedom says:

    The bottom line is that this nomination was another 'brilliant' choice by Obama and his admininistration. They have forced the right to make some hard choices…will we alienate the hispanic population, and thereby losing a sizeable amount of votes by appearing 'harsh'' on Sotomayor…or will we wilt under the pressure of Obama and the left, and quickly let her sail through the hearing process…thinking we may pick up a few stray hispanic votes in 2010. Obama is selling out you and I, (and all of America, for that matter) in order to shore up his voting base, and despite his obvious shortcomings as president, he has shown himself to be a master politician.

    • MikeinIdaho says:

      since the Republican Party, in general has lost it's voice and it's collective intestinal fortitude, don't look for any sincere objections by the Potomac crowd. Democrat, Republican…they're all the same, seems like.

  43. Zymogene says:

    Exactly, 100% of the black community support Obama, whatever % of women support any woman and whatever she says, as long as they aren't Republicans, ALL the illegal aliens are doing jobs NONE of the LAZY Americans will do and our economy will collapse if we don't open the borders, they are ALL good, nice, wonderful Catholics who are law abiding people who just want to work…..the list is endless, yet it never represents what the reality is out here. Guess your opinion only counts if you agree with them. Just like you have freedom of speech as long as you say what they want you to say.

  44. harryrussell says:

    The whole Sotomayor confirmation drama is a joke.Right now, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are
    orchestrating the GOP's vote on Sotomayor's confirmation as a whole in both houses.My guess is GOP Senators
    who are NOT up for re election next year will vote against Sotomayor's confirmation. GOP Senators who are
    up for re election next year will have the demographics/poll numbers in their respective state analyzed and will
    vote on Sotomayor's confirmation accordingly. House members will do the same. I think this whole orchestration
    /play calling by Congressional leaders shows just how little representation common folks have left.

  45. MerNJ says:

    That's because a majority of Americans are too apathetic when it comes to politics. If they watch the news, they don't really pay attention and if they pay attention, it's usually to a biased MSM report. If people took the time to find out what's really going on, they wouldn't elect half the people they do – including our President.

  46. ChrisTyd says:

    Gallup polls… never been called by them. Never met any one that ever participated in one… they don't speak for me. I wonder how many of these "pollsters" voted more than once! Is Gallup now a media arm of our dictator obama?

    • Zymogene says:

      I was thinking the same thing. No one has ever called or asked me a single thing. I also don't hold much validity when they do some of these polls, because they always manage to get the votes to support their view and anyone can skew the results to their favor.

    • sagoda says:

      Ive never been polled either. How are they gathering data anyone know?

      • poorboy says:

        Ok, lets have a poll. Has anyone reading this ever been contacted by the gallop poll? This should help us out and I will confirm the results tomorrow.

  47. TaxiDude says:

    Was this poll taken at Notre Dame or East LA ? The results would've been similar. Que no ?

  48. It all depends on the propaganda newspapers and polls. Dictator Obama will let us know what he wants. :o (

  49. cajunpatriot says:

    I hate polls….. because depending who you ask and how you ask it a good pollster can make a poll say anything they want. Lets face it this poll was probobly not conducted in flyover country.

  50. 1Mississippi says:

    As I heard Obamas requirements for a Supreme court nominee before his announcment, my first thought was, "well, he can't appoint a Liberal, then." Guess I was wrong….

  51. Dustyluv says:

    Gallup did not call me…Or anyone I know.

    I am gonna laugh my ass of when they find out she is pro life during the hearings…

    A pro life racist…wow great combination…Kinda like a white elephant.

  52. watman43 says:

    they must have polled the latina community !

  53. LOLOLOLO..looks like the same people who keep taking the poll on President Obama are being polled for this one too.

  54. Jerseygal says:

    The most telling polling number is that of the Independents – a slim majority, which they did not quantify. The left is loosing ground there. To state that many believe her views are 'mainstream,' means only that. It does not mean that it is in the best interests of our nation. 'Mainstream' on most other issues translates to loss of freedoms and diminishing Constitutionality.

    • SilentTexan says:

      It's like that old saying: "If someone jumped off a cliff, would you do it to?"

      according to the Gallup polls, we shouldn't be sitting here, but we should be out there jumping off cliffs!
      Thanks but no thanks, I have common sense to know when a judge is assigned that believes in only empathy and disregards the constitution as if it was junk mail, she will not make a good judge. And why does the supreme court judge have to be assigned for life? I think every single politician from congress to the supreme court allow 2 terms and that's it!

  55. fande3rls says:

    I always wonder where they go to get these polls ,I never am called for these things and if I am I don't respond because I don't know where the number comes from.

  56. Wado714 says:

    I think all this show is that no one really cares and they don't know the importance of a supreme court judge for a LIFETIME appointment

    Or this poll could be a joke, like that the one that said 0% of African-americans disapprove of O'Bama

    I will be talking to every single person who will listen to me about this nomination. I believe that her controversial public statements and the ruling made in the case ouf of New Haven, Connecticut speak volumes. She may have a decent (putting it favorably) record in her current position, but she should not sit on the Supreme Court for life!!

    We cannot continue to be the silent majority anymore!!

    It was published by the L.A. Times, so it doesn't surprise me. That is called propaganda. Remember they used it a lot during W.W.ll and Korea. At least that is what I have been told and read about. Point being, if you publish enough articles pointing in the direction they want, then the none thinking will just follow, because "everyone else is". With our Hollywood mentality and idol worshiping, we have a society of brain dead.More people watch "reality T.V." then the History channel or something of potential mind enrichment. Until things really get bad in their personal worlds,they aren't going to care. When things get bad, they will complain the loudest.

      Liberals live by the idea that if you say it often enough it becomes an accepted truth.

      so let's try it. Okay, all together now "Obama is a socialist"

      (I know we already understand this but apperantly there are many who don't)

    I question the authenticity of the gallup polls as I remember while listening to either (rush limbaugh or micheal berry; can't remember which one) that says the gallup poll is based on a calculated guess on what it believes what america wants. Think of it as those those technical calculators that also said that we have global warming and the sea temp would rise 1 degree.

    If these were real polls, WHERE ARE THEY?!
    Because I sure wouldn't mind putting down my opinion

      I still don't understand how you can get the 'pulse of the country' from 11 to 12 hundred responses out of 300 MILLION people! I have never been called. Of coarse, they would not like my answers! Everyone, Please, read the Constitution again!

    54% want the bigot approved. Roughly the same % that voted for Obama. I am surprised that it is not higher considering the intentional effort by the drive by media. We are having an effect.

    • Logical thinking and informed people do not want Sotomayor confirmed, but the drive by media, pop culture and our own public education system do not promote logical thinking or information. Against that, it really is amazing that only 54% drank the kool-aid.

    • Free_Bird says:

      The 46% (if that number is right) must make a stand. We start by educating our senators on the subject of re-election. To prevent this nonsense from happening again we must take over the local school boards and educate our kids on the subject of history.

    it just depends what demographic of people you target in your poll

    Not me, nor anyone from my family .

    I think they are manufactured numbers… there I said it…

  65. Walt1 says:

    One would think they would make better decisions then white men.

  66. AmericanOnly says:

    EXACTLY!! And not one of them in the Untied States legally!!!

  67. TunaBlue says:

    Al, nice post, and factually and historically correct. The only reason the Dems became the party of the disenfranchised was for control. "We'll save you, enable you, even the playing field." In reality, they have enslaved all those who believe them.
