And weren't you a former banee who couldn't hold his tongue on the alan keyes threads?
Nope. Got warned a time or two, but still managed to show Keyes to be a phony, what with his reparations plan, and his virtual disowning of his daughter because she came out as a lesbian.
I learned two lessons from that. 1. To reread my posts and think about how they read to other people
2. That a great deal of anger on threads such as that (and this one) are wasted energy, because we don't control the outcome.
All this noise isn't affecting a thing in Washington. The pundits in Washington have built up no particular loyalty from the President, and he has already considered all positions before he made the nomination.
I am waiting for the hearings. I find it odd that you would remember, after 5 years, who was an opponent on the Keyes threads.
