To tell the truth: Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd repeatedly voted to continue filibusters

Democratic Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd have repeatedly voted to continue filibusters against nearly a dozen nominees for the appellate courts. In the case of Mr. Biden, who has presidential ambitions, one would think that he would have learned to tell the truth after he was forced to withdraw from the 1988 race following revelations involving his serial speech plagiarism and his reflexive lies about his academic achievements. Appearing with Mr. Biden on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl implored Mr. Biden to give the nominees an up-or-down vote on the Senate floor. "If you don't like these [judicial nominees], if you think they are too radical from your point of view," Mr. Kyl said, "vote against them. Joe, on March 19, 1997, that's exactly what you said ought to happen on the Senate floor: Candidates ought to receive an up-or-down vote."

Being liberal means never being concerned about the truth.

Indeed, they can't handle the truth.

If they stuck to the truth, they'd collapse.
If the MSM held them to the truth, they'd collapse.
If more Americans understood the truth, they'd collapse.

Thank goodness for the Internet and Talk Radio!
