It is the tone of the article. Sorry, but it sounds less than professional in tone.
You are preaching to the choir here. If you want to influence and inform others, then in my opinion, a less hysterical tone would help.
Santorum and Specter -- two of the worst senators Pennsylvania ever had. Bleah!
Sometimes hysterics, as you refer to them, is the way to get the dead wood off the bottom of the swamp.
I do thank you for your critisizing as it appears to be constructive. How would you have made it less "hysterical?"
These are the same men who are threatening to "go nuclear" and change the rules of the Senate.
Now, Rick Santorum might not know how to defeat a filibuster but there are Republican Senators in that honorable body that do know how to do it. If they will just grow backbones and get organized and do it. And, I might state that if the Repubs do "go nuclear" and change the rules then there will be a time when they are no longer in power and will have to use the filibuster just as the Dems are now.
All this talk is nonsense! We did not send those men back there to jack their jaws: we sent them to do a job and to stand for what is right, not what is politically expedient at the moment.
