Extreme Moderates

Credulous Republicans Back Dodomayer

“ Moderate Sens. Richard G. Lugar of Indiana and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine and retiring Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida became the first Republicans to publicly pledge to vote for Judge Sotomayor. ... "Given her judicial record and her testimony this week, it is my determination that Judge Sotomayor is well-qualified to serve as associate justice of the United States Supreme Court," said Mr. Martinez, the Senate's lone Hispanic Republican. Even Former House Speaker and conservative stalwart(!?!) Newt Gingrich, who initially attacked Judge Sotomayor's "wise Latina woman" remark as "racist," softened his resistance. [AWK] ” Who in hell do these skulkers think they are, Quakers?  How one can be a political "moderate" in today's climate is beyond my ken. With battle lines drawn, between Founding Fathers and Bolshevik Wannabes, being in the middle gets you shot first.   And Newt.  For the last time.  STFU.
