Hey, now: I'm not pessimistic - just cautiously optimistic - and not very trusting of the other side. Big difference. Perhaps you've forgotten how many times Congressional Dems have shaken Republican hands only to stick the knife in after they turn their backs.
Well, I for one am neither pessimistic or "cautiously optimistic", I'm brimming with optimism at the fact that the Beacon Hill Bozo, John Filibuster Kerry is leading this whole futile effort to filibuster a highly qualified judge, orchestrated in the shadows by the MoveOn goobers and Democrats UnderRocks simps.
