Getting Praise for Doing Nothing

John Kerry pats himself on the back for his 100% rating from the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.  The name of the organization sounds impressive but it’s as liberal an organization as one can find.  (Don’t take my word for it — check it out yourself.)

Oddly enough, the biggest issue among the voters throughout the commonwealth — based on our travels throughout the state — has been illegal immigration. (It’s of greater concern than national security and the economy — although illegal immigration actually impacts both.)

The hopelessly out-of-touch Kerry is praised for having … “supported comprehensive immigration reform (and) backs the DREAM Act, which helps undocumented children attend college and apply for citizenship.  In plain English, he supports an amnesty and wants taxpayers to pay for illegal aliens (er, undocumented children) to attend college.  So much for playing by the rules, huh?

Ironically,  JFK gets kudos for doing absolutely nothing  (which says as much about the LCCR as it does anything else) as the junior Senator …”led the filibuster against Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s confirmation; opposed the nomination of Chief Justice John Roberts; and opposed Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s appointment because of his refusal to deem water-boarding torture.”  (To say those three men are against civil rights further supports the concept of the LCCR as nothing more than a partisan organization.)

So let’s keep score — he casts three meaningless votes since he was on the losing side — against two Supreme Court justices and the Attorney General.   BTW, how long did that filibuster last — half a nanosecond?

Give the junior senator some credit – he’s the only one with the cojones  to tell the people of the commonwealth that he’s out of touch and ineffective and get praised for it too!
