props for bringing up the Republican Ugliness and for his continuing realization that a politician cannot remain above politics.
(Good thing you guys posted this, cuz I had 15 items ready to rip on this and why our Dear Mikey was unfit.)
Dear Mikey would make a great running mate for Elizabeth Warren in '20. Geographic, gender and ideological balance, no?
Discuss amongst yourselves….
Um. No. Thurston is just a leetle lacking in two departments: charisma and integrity. Warren could do much better, and I hope she does.
Clearly, mj is correct 😉
Despite the fact that many here, including the Proprietors, think the (D) behind his name makes him Perfect, it's impossible for me, and surely many voters, to know what he stands for or to believe he can be counted on for anything but the most bland pronouncements as a Democrat.
CPoks has done their job exquisitely, which is why Bennet barely has to do his.
What was that, V? "Clearly, mj is correct"? Just wanted to make sure that wasn't a typo. Could you post that again to confirm?
If you're down to the point that you have to draw validation from Zappy, mj, you need to rethink this whole self-esteem business.
Oops. I read that as your comment. Clearly, mj was incorrect in attribution. But Zappy was right on!
Exactly. mj is exactly right and V is exactly wrong in every respect.
Let it go, Z. This can't end well.
As for Bennet, I did call him, ask him not to vote for Gorsuch, or at least to drag it out as a tax for their treatment of Obama's nominee Garland, but as I wrote earlier, Bennet is likely to vote for Gorsuch, sooner rather than later.
I'm trying to find a silver lining in that if Gorsuch is close to Anschutz, as was alleged, Anschutz at least is a strong backer and builder of renewable energy. But the Koch Bros are courting Gorsuch as well, perhaps hoping to counter all that wind power with their own fossilonian focus.
Two wrongs don't make a right? Justice Bork, are you there? Oh, wait, it is OK to oppose a nominee to the court.
Bork got a hearing and a vote. Garland did not.
Not the comparison I was making, although it would be the argument against mine. I was referring to Bennet's second wrong, which I can only presume is not giving a vote to Gorsuch. I don't think that nominees are entitled to confirmation, or that Gorsuch should be treated "better" than Garland by the Dems.
Bennet wants to be the better man. The "better men" have been routed from government across this country at all levels. I think that's largely because they're focused not so much on being the "better men" as they are the "lesser evil," but, regardless, the attempt by Democrats to govern by trying to play by the rules while the Republicans rob, cheat, and steal doesn't seem to have served them well.
Got it–I agree with you.
Well done, Senator! He could have just made the introduction and said nothing more but he stood up to the Republicans who shafted Garland. Bravo!
I think we might hold off on the kudos if the bar is "he could have done nothing" but "he said some things, and then repeated what his kindergarten teacher said about two wrongs and stuff." That's not standing up; that's copping out.
That bar has been set by CPols and I don't think there's anything that could cause them to raise it for our Dear Senator.
Thurston is going to vote for Gorsuch, as he should.
Thurston is not from the nuts and berries, fruit loops and fruit cakes wing of the party populated by Zap and MJ. He is from the crooks and cronies branch that supported Hillary.
