An eye-opening arrival in the inbox:
U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey called President Obama’s speech today to school children in Arlington, Virginia “an inspiring and moving speech for students across America.”
“Education is the cornerstone of our country’s future,” Mr. Toomey said, “and it is important that we relay that message to our young students. The President’s emphasis on responsibility and the personal stories about his own education are exactly the kind of inspiring messages our children need to hear from our country’s leaders.”
While some polls have shown Toomey becoming more competitive in his 2010 U.S. Senate campaign in Pennsylvania, the fact remains that he’s a conservative Republican running in a blue state against a Democrat (either Rep. Joe Sestak or Sen. Arlen Specter) who will surely have the backing of powerful local labor unions. Toomey has veered hard to the middle since forcing Specter into the Democratic Party, first by endorsing Sonia Sotomayor’s Supreme Court nomination, now with this.

Oh, Lord, now Toomey's jumped on the bandwagon. What is it with my fellow Republicans, anyway? Really, Pat? The kids need to hear messages like this from “our country's leaders”? Or what, exactly? Mass dropouts? Our friends on the left have been screeching for days now about the hysterical Republican response to Obama's stupid speech. It's starting to look like there really is one: A bunch of Republicans hysterically trying to prove that they're not hysterical about Obama's speech. Hysterical.

sarasota,
Why?, because some of your fellow Repubs finally used common sense and realized that the speech wasn't the evil, subversive, Communist/Socialist/Fascist indoctrination you most probably now wish it was? While we're at it, why hide? Just come out and say you, and all your like-minded effluent are racist. It would be so much easier to discount you if you would have the courage to express your convictions, instead of beating around the bush, but then, people like you have hidden in the dark for so long, did the light hurt your eyes when you stepped out of your house for the first time, in months?
