I am reminded of the time many Dems voted to defund Acorn after a RW hit job.

Why can't we have Democrats who will actually stand up for their own side?

is that I was impressed by new senator Kristen Gillebrand for being one of the few to vote against the rush to defund ACORN - and that was when Democrats had the majority. Now, she was leading the rush to dump Franken.
