" I am swearing off filibuster follies and Alamo analogies." Is that a promise? Your reading of the daily kos sentiments regarding an Alito filibuster was so far off the mark that it wasn't even funny. The person who wrote front page diary after diary there, week in and week out, calling for a filibuster, Armando, might not be happy to see you "cherry picking " the evidence like a good Republican spin artist. Do your homework, please. Read thoroughly, and sample widely. John Kerry actually wrote to dkos members, seeking their opinions on a number of issues, and they told him what they thought, too. They asked him to filibuster. PFAW does not deserve your malignant comments, either, although I give money to them only when I can afford it. The next thing I know, you will be saying that the ACLU doesn't care about our Constitution and only wants to line its pockets. Think how calloused and cynical you sound, Mr. Shapiro. I'll bet you bought into that Republican lie that the confessed felon Jack Abramoff's sins are also Democratic sins, didn't you? Ask Howard Dean about that, and you will get a fight!
