4. Yeah! Yeah!

5. what's with Lindsey Graham. he's not

Self delete. Dupe.

11. Graham believes in confirming all Supreme Court nominees who are qualified, on

the basis of their resumes. He believes that is the consequence of elections. As in "Elections have consequences."

6. Yay for Linsey

He's got guts, I like that. He will get ousted in the primaries for this, but he stood strong.

7. graham isn't up for reelection until 2014

[superconnected]

8. Wow onenote if I hadn't had seen your name and recognized it, I'd have put you on ignore

for how you went after the other person. I mean come on. The subject - that he gets re-elected in 4 years was informative. The rest was being a jerk.

[onenote]

10. you're right. my bad. I've edited.

Letting other annoyances unrelated to DU get to me. My apologies to all.

9. I know he's not up for a while

I also visit enemy sites, and know he is poison to Republicans. Tea Baggers winning primaries against establishment Republicans only became fashionable this year. It will continue in greater strength in the coming years, until all the moderates are thrown out of the party.
