Rant Of The Day
Once upon time when he was a lowly Congressman from central Illinois, Durbin was even a pro-lifer who advocated for the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Today, he makes Peter Singer look like Phyllis Schlafly.
It is this kind of mind-numbing hypocrisy presented, as he does, with such specious earnestness, that makes Durbin so insufferable.
The fact that he is now Number Two in the Senate speaks to the rewards for the intellectually-barren and integrity-deficient in our hallowed halls of power.
Only in a state where Republicans have virtually lost the will to live could such a grotesque Kafka-esque creature like Dick Durbin not only survive but flourish.
Not that Durbin believes in such things, but God help us.

Is there anyone in the State that is proud of this man?
Is there any lib that will defend him?
I just don’t understand why anyone would vote for him - even in a state filled with liberal sheep.
This guy has to be an embarassment to any clear minded, rational individual. The Republicans ’should’ (key word) be able to put anyone against Durbin and win (but we all know that the sheep will not allow this).

I haven’t seen Durbin’s GOP challenger yet (I think his name is Sauerberg, or something like that) but he’ll have an uphill battle in an overwhelmingly blue state like IL.
Yes, Durbin is an embarrassment—I left out the part of the rant about him calling our soldiers Nazis because I’ve mentioned it so often, but I’m pretty sure he would still win, even if he was discovered to be a mass murder—such is life in Illinois politics.

I know that there are many liberals who read this site - is there one of them that has an ability to convey their thoughts on Durbin?
