Blame yourself if you voted Durbin

Why are so many surprised by Durbin's asking for the early release of Ryan?

Did we not know when re-electing him what a bleeding heart he is to lobbyist and the left-wing extreme? We had an opportunity to send a strong message. What better way than starting close to the top.

Steve Sauerberg ran against Durbin but not many were even aware because he did not have the funds to overcome the "monetary machine."

Perhaps more people should have checked Durbin's voting record and they wouldn't be surprised.

You reap what you sow. Will we remember this come next election? I doubt it.
