It's not like the guy is a scumbag. He is a good man with whose views you happen to disagree. |

--- Quote from: ChadTower on September 15, 2005, 12:01:50 pm ---I don't consider refusing to vote as doing their jobs. I see it as analagous to a doctor refusing to treat patients or a cook refusing to make food. It is their JOB to vote. If they don't like the issue, vote no, but do the job and cast the vote. --- End quote --- Politicians, on both sides, do what it takes to "win", sometimes that means holding up a vote by not voting. Them's the rules. If you don't like them, lobby for change. I don't completely agree with it, but then again, we've never had such a power-mad administration as this one. Checks n' balances have served this nation since its founding, and as such, I'm more apt to leave certain things in tact. Even if they don't always seem fair. --- Quote from: ChadTower on September 15, 2005, 12:06:38 pm ---It's not like the guy is a scumbag.

If Roberts, how can you glean, from the somewhat limited info available to the public via the media, that he is a "good man"? Did you do you're own non-partisan research? Did you look into his soul? I can see saying that he is "intelligent" and/or "modestly conservative"...but a "good man"...that's the kind of B.S. Bush says about everyone....even Putin. If Bush, well, then obviously I disagree, since I think he gives scumbags a bad name. mrC |

--- Quote from: markrvp on September 15, 2005, 12:12:21 pm ---You apparently are in denial about what is mainstream America. --- End quote --- Not true. If you look at the country's timeline, America is undeniably progressive in nature. Civil Rights, Women's rights, etc... --- Quote ---A large number of those "liberal" votes are from poor voters looking to continue their government handout or from Union Workers who don't want to have to compete for their jobs. --- End quote --- Source? or conjecture? --- Quote ---Those cities have their own views on morality and what is acceptable which are not in line with the mainstream majority of Americans. --- End quote --- So you think rural means mainstream? mrC |

I base my assumptions on the fact that no one, not even the Democrats, have questioned his integrity, character, or reputation. If he had any sliver of a questionable history they (the Democrats) would have made dogmeat out of it. Since they have not, and since there is also no reason to asume he is not a good man, it is logical to assume he is a good man. |
