Tricky Dick

Just received this email from a friend:

"Dick Durbin said on 'Meet the Press' that Alito's pro-life stance would disqualify him. Durbin, like Al Gore and Dick Gephardt, was vehemently pro-life in the 1980s when he was in the House and switched to pro-choice to make himself a more viable Senate candidate (the other two switched, of course, to be more viable presidential candidates)."

Here's the Durbin quote about Alito, and here's his pro-life record from the 80s. Unbelievable.
