I'm sorry. I get worked up about politics. I'm sure you understand. I went back and reread your post and I think I read way to much into your statement "I'm sick of hearing how conservatives need to worry about one more election or one more appointment."
My response was insulting, and I recognize your desire to see our government and the country move to the right because it is my desire. I believe the American people may have made this issue a moot point. If we can get 60 votes by buying them and holding our RINOs together we may not need the nuke option.
There is no more important issue than getting conservatives on the bench and the liberals' power there diluted.
I couldn't agree more. Although we don't agree on the tactics to get there you have presented a well written and thoughtful case for your opinion, and without returning rudeness to your fellow Freeper. I commend you and concede this round to you...I am the weakest link
Your apology is accepted. I've been there and done that myself.
I think most of the disagreements on this board are on tactics, and what frosts me most often is that many people here cannot be civil while discussing them, and worse, far too commonly impute motive to method. It is not difficult to comprehend why this is, however, when students don't learn from an early age the rules of logic and debate. I didn't. Most don't, because they simply don't teach it any more. I hate when I fall prey to the trap of discussing the arguer instead of the argument because I didn't learn differently earlier.
You aren't a liberal for pushing Specter. Only the trolls here qualify as libs. And it looks like the Senate's GOP leaned your way this time. We shall see if they were right or, as I believe, wrong. But I think we can deal with the outcome either way without strangling each other over it. :)
