And people think racism is dead?

Think again.

Okay, so it’s supposed to be about the nominees’ ideology. Why then have the Democratic senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee constantly harped on Brown’s religious beliefs (and Brown isn’t the only nominee who’s been unfairly targeted about her Christian beliefs) - and now other blacks are attacking her because she’s black and Republican? What’s the deal here?

This is disgusting to watch, and I’ll tell you why: I may call myself a RINO or a moderate Republican and I’m definitely conservative, but crap like the filibustering is why I’ll never be a Democrat and why I hate all the partisan sniping that goes on between the diehards on the left and right who’re interested in nothing more than making sure their party’s the one in power. It drives me nuts!

UPDATE: Here’s an interesting profile on Brown that appeared in this past Sunday’s issue of the S.F. Chronicle.

I should probably add that this wasn’t meant as a barb at Democrats who read this blog. I’ve been questioning my own political stances lately and realize one thing or another about myself in that regard, but this isn’t directed at any individual or group because of their political affiliations. I’m not a blogging pundit wannabe. If anything, the polarizing political climate today makes me want to stop posting about politics altogether on this site, and I’m apparently not the only blogger who’s moved in this direction.
