What’s the harm of a little common courtesy

Every time I hear, “Give nominees the courtesy of a vote”, I also hear this resounding response from sofas throughout Xtian conservative America of people agreeing it’s right to at least give the nominees that courtesy, a little common courtesy, everyone deserves a little common courtesy. That’s all this is about, showing a little common courtesy.

Where I’ve been (as life permits). Listening to the Senate Session on Judicial Nominees at C-Span 2. Links to some of the individual speeches at Dembloggers. Here’s Senator Reid’s speech from the capitol steps. Senator Dayton’s speech.

Leahy talked about religious McCarthyism. Questioning what planet James Dobson is from. Saying that this virulent religious McCarthyism is fraudulent on its face. “It’s contemptible. It’s contemptible.”

I went strolling around some Republican blogs last night and perhaps I was hitting the wrong blogs but very few of them had anything on yesterday’s Senate Session. Some are talking about Newsweak (lied, people died) and of course daily lives, bible verses, one woman was ecstatic because she’d been given a new way of looking at the world when she was told she was god’s chocolate. Like I said, maybe I was hitting the wrong blogs but I looked at a number and was wondering why there’s so little talk of this on them.
