Reply #26: Ahm, I give up! [View All]

sandnsea, you do this just to see me squirm, I know it. I am quite fond of my Sens and I think they do a good job. That's why I vote for them. (It also give me blinders.) Geez, that's what Senators look and sound like, right? They have for most of my adult life. Uncle Ted has been my Sen since I was 4. Sen Kerry's service in the Senate started before the birth of my kids. So they seem the very model of a modern major Senator to me. But they have been there a long time and my perspective is, I'm sure, warped and biased. (As must be evident.) I do not wish to be unctious about it. If something is good, it simply shows, you don't need to cram it down someones's throat. Okay? (Whoops, my Puritanism is showing.)

I cannot, in good conscience, put anyone else's Senators down. (That would be awful.) I am not in their states. The Sens in question are surely the cream of the crop for Dems in those states and it would be undemocratic (and smarmy) for me to criticize the choice of voters in those states. Surely they think their Sens are great as well.

Sen. Feingold is a hottie! I think he's a fine speaker. (I was moved by his remarks and he was intelligent and forceful.) Sen. Wyden wes effective in creating a well-thought out argument. He looked like Cicero next to Allen and Lamar, okay? (And he was a snappy dresser? Ahm, he didn't wear plaid on the Senate floor, there is that.) And he is probably nice to widows, kids and stray animals. What else is there?
