George Allen talks like a Republican...

I was perusing the transcript of Fox News Sunday from yesterday and I really like VA Senator George Allen's comments on judicial nominations. This guy is looking more and more like my favorite for the 2008 nomination. Here's a sampling.

On John Bolton:

What I've seen on the nomination of John Bolton is a lot of innuendo, hearsay and a lot of rumors. And every single one of their charges and allegations have been refuted. They want to avoid looking at John Bolton's outstanding record of performance as one who will actually bring to the United Nations accountability, which is great for the taxpayers.

On allowing up or down votes:

I have a responsibility as a United States senator to advise and consent on judicial nominations. And that has been denied me and the people of Virginia and the people of across this country for their senators to have the gumption and the backbone to get off their haunches and vote yes or vote no on these judges.

On the actions of the Democrats:

People are motivated on this issue, and the architect of this obstruction, the chief obstructionist, Tom Daschle, is a former Democratic leader. And so I think the people of this country expect Republicans to act. We should not cower.

It's so refreshing to hear statements like this when so many Republican Senators act like such complete wusses nowadays.
