I just hope you aren't like some of the freepers that just want to keep it up...
Doesn't anyone ever "win" with class anymore?
If they looked at the man that they have been intent on smearing for over three weeks...they MIGHT see class in action.
My postings speak for me, and they create a subjective impression that differs for each reader. As for "winning with class," my approach from the start of this nomination was to decray the way it was being played. Particularly, that "deep stealth" isn't fair play. When the rules are "deep stealth," all of the people lose in the long run - even if the home team gets a score.

I tend to not take criticism personally (believe it or not - the reason I point it out to others is to attempt to shame them into stopping it because attacks detract from reasoned debate), and probably for that reason, don't see my criticism as being personally directed against the President.
I try to also honestly express how his actions make me feel. Not in an effort to cause others to feel the same way, but as a data point to illustrate what the President's actions cause to some fraction of the voting public.
I've been very clear, I think that advancing stealth nominations amounts to a dangerous practice for self-governance. And if the President is doing that, and if the GOP is promoting it as "fair play," well, I am going to criticize the actors. Government works better when the RIGHT debate is on the table. That's my heartfelt belief, and will stay so even if I am in a tiny minority in that regard.
