And Francois Kerry failed in his emotional appeal.
So did former Senator Bob Dole, who tried to pull on heartstrings by visiting the Senate in a wheelchair (he has been ailing lately).
I have to honor Dole's WWII service; but he was never a true conservative, and he's gone even more squishy in his old age.
Kudos to former Senator Rick Santorum for an email campaign raising awareness of this attempt to rob us of our nation's sovereignty.
