10. Couple of comments
First, CNN radio seems rather right wing to me. I get thm here in Columbus, and the contrast between AAR and CNN radio is garish. Not that they lie...they just ignore a lot of news that lefties would like to hear.

Next, I am sure that many DUers have faced the fact that Roberts is going to be rubber-stamped because it is the "politically correct" thing to do in light of the fact that there was NO attempt to counterspin the nomination. However, I am sure that many DUers reserve the right to be mad about it. None of us are gullible enough to think that Roberts is going to be any less than a right-wing cretinoid who will protect his Bushmaster till the last breath, but after 5 years of this same scenario played out over and over, I expect the Democratic senators to not be that gullible, either. But gullibility will be there defense, as it was on the Iraq war (a decision that has led to so much death).

This behavior by Democrats in unacceptable, and I, at least, will be taking names. I am so tired of this crap.

Mark my words, Roberts is going to be a monster, and the Democrats know it. The fact that Republicans lie to them gives them cover for acting like wussies, and they conservatively fall for it every single time to save their jobs. It is Stockholm syndrome in the worst way.
