Illinois Senator Dick Durbin took to the senate floor recently and showed once again that Democrats (and he personally) have no shame. The Illinois Democrat whipped out the race card to play over the Senate’s refusal to confirm Obama nominee Loretta Lynch as the next attorney general for the United States of America.
Durbin, well known during the Bush Administration for his comparison of our troops serving at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility to the “Soviet Gulag, Pol Pot, and Nazi Germany”, is now comparing the actions of Republican senators to pushing Ms. Lynch to “the back of the bus”.
A clear attempt to bring race into the discussion of Lynch’s nomination to serve as attorney general, over the substance of her qualifications and her stance on important issues she may face as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
One of the poster children for term limits, you can always count on Dick Durbin to stoop to the lowest possible level when discussing contentious issues, since that is the level of his intellect and where he is most at home.
The consummate partisan politician Dick is often found in the company of Nancy and Harry, two other individuals whose intellect, character and ethics dwell in the lower regions along with Dick’s. All three make Moe, Larry and Curly look like absolute scholars and statesmen by comparison.
Durbin, as Minority Whip has the job of making sure all Democrat senators vote against whatever legislation is put forth by the Republican majority, regardless if it’s a good piece of legislation that is good for the country.
You see, in the nether regions occupied by Dick, Nancy, Harry, and Barack, what’s good for the country isn’t relevant. What’s good for the Democrat Party is all that matters.
Durbin pops up often times to express himself on a variety of issues, always looking for an opportunity to scrape the bottom of the barrel for racially divisive comments, and even outright lies if it fits the partisan narrative he’s trying to promote.
Sadly voters in Illinois keep electing Durbin to the U.S. Senate, so he can be counted on to keep poking his head into issues of importance while offering nothing constructive. Only the same blather and drivel we’ve become accustomed to hearing from any of the Democrat mouthpieces that walk the halls of government pretending to be working for the American people, when in fact they are working for their party first and foremost.
Perhaps one day Dick will spew out one too many falsehoods and voters will finally hold him accountable for his career of lies and his disservice to the political discourse in this nation.
But until then we can expect to see him periodically standing at a podium claiming to be a defender of the downtrodden, when the reality is that Dick is nothing more than a partisan political hack who will quickly be forgotten once he leaves office.
And the State of Illinois and the nation will breathe a sigh of relief that we’ve finally gotten rid of another one.
Turban Durbin, proving that braindeath doesn’t always involve the classical clinical “signs” of such.
I like Wilber's style and he's dead on the mark. LOL!
Ah, but the Turban is consistent in one respect - he despises anybody who is the least degree to the right of his own position.
This does require some really complicated mental gymnastics and artful reinvention of the language at times, but that is just the price of maintaining the facade. Of course, with the known low level of intellectual attainment to which he may rightfully lay claim, it is often farmed out to staff to sort of reinterpret his statements, and dress up the phraseology to form some sort of specious reasonableness.
No one cares about Loretta Lynch or you, Little Dick.
I'd like to remind Durbin that President Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, did NOTHING to change "back of the bus" rules during his FOUR terms as President of the United States.
True.
Anyone who believes that illegal aliens have a right to hold jobs in America is NOT fit to serve as AG. No matter what color their skin is.
All of this court stuff has been caused by the Republican GOPES (gop elite statists) refusing to stand ground and duty to defend their constitutional separation of powers. By first defunding those presidential amnesty edicts even it meant changing senate rules to a simple majority vote citing the Hanen ruling as their excuse. Which would have restricted its use.
By first defunding those presidential amnesty edicts even it meant changing senate fillabuster rules to a simple majority vote citing the Hanen ruling as their excuse. Which would have restricted its use. But it could also be applied here when the vote comes up for her approval because of her stance on immigration . And would stick it to Dickhead’s claim.
We all know that if it suited his political purposes, he’d gladly throw Lynch under the bus, direct from the back seat.
Here’s Durbin:

You know if Republicans were a fraction as blunt with democrats as democrats are with everybody else, a lot of crap would be exposed and BS eliminated.
We don’t want to censer speech, okay, but why not use the power of speech?
For example, why is Obama doing what he is doing to Israel while sleeping with Iran and the Muslim favoritism he eeks out is over the top?
It’s either because he is a Marxist, seditionist, or a full blown radical Muslim. FOX asks this same question every day but they come up with political answers that are untrue and drag out the language. They don’t call him out as using Nazi tactics, like Durbin will do.
This is why we lose. We still bring spoons to a knife fight, and forks to a gunfight.
Believe me, you are not alone
You got that right
