What difference does it make, oldvike? These Democrats are nothing but a bunch of thugs. They've shown that they're going to do whatever the ____ they want.
The irony is that one of their complaints about Pickering was that he appears to have decided the outcome of a couple of cases in advance - which is exactly what these gangsters have done to him. They never had ANY intention of letting this go to a full Senate vote.
Those of you who are frustrated with Republicans and are vowing never to vote for them again, I hope you like this, because this is kindergarten recess compared to what you'll get if you stick to your guns.
I evaluate them on a case by case basis. Luckily for me, my congressman and Senators are very conservative and stick to their core beliefs so my job is quite easy when I walk in that voting booth.
BTW, how have you been DOAIJV? I saw that you got in a little skirmish last night on that Bush thread. Hehehe, you're a tough ol' babe.
