Dissention over Alito filibuster

John Aravosis over at Americablog has just made an entry that is causing some controvery among his blog readers. He's come out against the filibustering of Alito. Many are accusing him of undercutting the rest of the liberal bloggers attempts at gaining the momentum needed for a filibuster. Whether or not he was right to come out against the filibuster efforts is not something i'm going to debate.

Where he is absolutely correct is that the Democrats have failed miserably in getting the message out to the american people as to why Samual Alito should not be on the Supreme Court. They were terrible at the Alito Senate hearings where they had a large audience watching. They missed the perfect opportunity to make the case against Alito to the american people. It's like they're not even trying.

I'm really starting to think it's time to rebuild the Democratic party. All the current Democrats have got to go and be replaced by Democrats who are not afraid to stand for something and to fight. If they won't fight to keep an extreme right wing idealogue like Alito off the Supreme Court, then what will they fight for? For those who haven't read my entry as to why Samual Alito should not be on the Supreme Court, you can find it here.
