Reply #6: "Why would Democrats filibuster THEIR recommendation, to Bush, of Mukasey?"

[Kolesar]

Why would Democrats filibuster THEIR recommendation, to Bush, of Mukasey?
I'm really starting to worry about the loss of reality here. The echo chamber is overwhelming reason. Some considerations....

* Schumer RECOMMENDED Mukasey to Bush.
* Mukasey never said waterboarding was legal.
* Democrats filibustering the Democrat choice for nominee COULD look like Democrats have lost their collective mind and are not to be trusted with ANYTHING ever again.
* This is just like the Kucinich debate over impeaching Cheney, that REPUBLICANS voted on favor of, that had to be submarined by the Dem leadership, in order to avoid looking like complete fools, when the subject floundered for lack of evidence.
* You people apparently have no idea of a phyrric victory is.

But hey, keep up the good work.
