In the race for U.S. Senate, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-VA) and challenger Greg Orman (I-KS) squared off in a formal debate in Kansas last night. At the end of the debate, the moderator asked them to say one nice thing about each other, a brief moment of civility. Orman was first up, praising Roberts' military service in the Marines and:
"Every time I've had an opportunity to talk privately with the senator, he's been a gentleman with a great sense of humor."
And then Sen. Pat Roberts had his opportunity for a brief moment of civility, but he apparently decided to go in a different direction. He couldn't play nice for 30 seconds:
"I would say that you are a very well-dressed opponent. I admire your accumulation of wealth. I have a little question about how you got there from here, but that's the American dream."
This is precisely the kind of behavior that prevents anything from getting done in Washington, DC, where nastiness abounds and entrenched politicians like Sen. Pat Roberts take every opportunity to be petty and insulting to the "other side" rather than find any kind of common ground.
crude, rude lack of civility and not giving gnat crap of how that looks outside of his cheering base, they seem totally oblivious to the fact that there are far more voters then their base and they are not looking to vote for them not changing their "PRINCIPLES" formerly known as "VALUES" was a good strategy by them for us, as long as they refuse to accept that their "PRINCIPLES" formerly known as "VALUES" are the very things that prevent them from winning without cheating they will wither on the vine as the hateful White guys party of yesterday.
you know what their interpretation of compromise is? "compromise means Democrats agree with republicans"
