Basically if you want to hear my musing on things religious (all three of you) check out that blog, I try to keep my politics over here.

Brownback on his vote-switching:

“I wanted to send a clear signal that I am for comprehensive immigration reform but now is not the time, this is not the vehicle,” Brownback said.

I’d mock the sentence, but it doesn’t make any coherent sense so there’s nothing to mock. Let me send you a signal that your campaign is even more hopeless than it was before.

Lindsey Grahamnesty about the failure of the bill:

“To my Republican friends, remember this day if you vote no. You will never ever have this deal again. There will never be a merit based immigration system like we’ve negotiated because President Bush has helped us.”

I don’t think a comment is necessary. Have a good life back in South Carolina.

Apparently Americans aren’t too fond of flip-floppers:

WASHINGTON - More than half of Americans say they wouldn’t consider voting for Sen. Hillary Clinton for president if she becomes the Democratic nominee, according to a new national poll made available to McClatchy Newspapers and NBC News.
The poll by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research found that 52 percent of Americans wouldn’t consider voting for Clinton, D-N.Y.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, was second in the can’t-stand-’em category, with 46 percent saying they wouldn’t consider voting for him.

From Geraghty’s Democratic Party debate review:

Edwards: The cause of poverty is the defining mission of my life.

And that’s why he charges so dang much to make speeches about it!
