Dick Durbin caves

Just when I thought I had found a new hero he bowed to conservative pressure and apologized for remarks that needed no apology. I wrote to Sen. Durbin yesterday and encouraged him to let his statement stand. That he had nothing to apologize for. After I saw that he had caved I wrote again this morning to express my utter disappointment in him. I also told Sen. Durbin that my hopes of Democrats finally growing a spine had been dashed. Maybe one day they'll get it but right now I don't feel very hopeful.

GOD DAMN IT! We can't get Republicans to apologize for lies! Why do Democrats feel the need to apologize for the truth?

Write to Senator Durbin and let him know how disappointed you are in him.
