Pick Her!
Thanks to Robert, I found this list of quotes by Janice Rogers Brown, put up by People for the Socialist American Way. They intended them to be damning… but they just make me like her even more.
Democracy and capitalism seem to have triumphed. But, appearances can be deceiving. Instead of celebrating capitalism’s virtues, we offer it grudging acceptance, contemptuous tolerance, but only for its capacity to feed the insatiable maw of socialism. We do not conclude that socialism suffers from a fundamental flaw. We conclude instead that its ends are worthy of any sacrifice — including our freedom… 1937 marks the triumph of our own socialist revolution.

My grandparents’ generation thought being on the government dole was disgraceful, a blight on the family’s honor. Today’s senior citizens blithely cannibalize their grandchildren because they have a right to get as much “free” stuff as the political system will permit them to extract.

[...] It appears as if Mark Jaquith at Tempus Fugit is leaning towards Janice Rogers Brown. He pulled some quotes from an opponent to Brown to make his case for her. Confirm Them though states it’s between Alito and Luttig, thus putting a stop to Mark’s drool. [...]
