Sometimes I wonder why some important positions like this have to be so political. Why can't people just look out for whats good for the country instead of their own little slice of the pie? I hope roberts goes through as smoothly as Ginsberg.

Ditto.

You are so right. That is what government, and our representatives, is all supposed to be about. Now we hear only about pork and bringing home the bacon to one's district.

Most citizens want good government and could care less about a new post office or a highway named Robert Byrd Thruway. The military can't make good decisions about bases because some politician complains about losing local jobs if a base closes. Most of us don't care. We just want efficiency and what is best for the military and for the country.

Things have been that way a long time but political decorum broke down in the sixties when the long latent left came out of the closet and threw all the rules to the wind. Now they are determined to control even as a minority, which is really what they always do even when in power. They represent few of the population but they control the most import levers - the media, the unions, and the education system.
