I became an independent in 95, when Trent Lott abrogated responsibility for leading the new Republican Senate in favor of power sharing. What a cuck.
Maybe you mean in 2001 when the Senate was 50-50, after Jeffords switched parties.
Maybe a combination of the two, and Bob Dole turning over the Senate reins to Lott. The Republicans were far too nice to the Dims after gaining the House and Senate, in my book But yeah...Trent Lott. Uniparty tool.
Compromised. I have long held the belief that when a new Senator or Congressman arrives in DC that a "handler" is sent to "welcome" him to town. By bribe, blackmail or threat, these hapless (or corrupt) newbs succumb to the being compromised.
Ryan was a crowning achievement for the handlers.
Well said!
