I can smell a RINO when I see one...I didn't vote for her in the primary or the general. Of course, I'm not a native, either.
Both Johnson and Duffy have been big disappointments over this.
Jeffrey Lord is reliably one of the best observers we have on the scene, but IMO he is too kind to Ayotte here. She campaigned as a conservative, as that was the will of the voters in 2010, but then she immediately hooked up with McCain and Graham, giving them an unfortunate new sidekick—it didn’t take her any time to “grow” in Washington and she was immediately known by the company she kept.
I take it she’s looked to the Collins and Snowe examples next door in Maine to try to secure a long-time senatorial position, but she has been a huge disappointment from the start.
Shame on Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. He Lied to Bill O’Reilly.
I was actually thinking of that old SNL bit with Dan Aykroyd, where he used to dress down Jane Curtain after she delivered her diatribe on “Weekend Update”...
“Thank you, Jane, you ignorant slvt!!!”
The application in this situation with Ayotte fits like a glove...
(I hope my speelcheeker caught all the mispeeled werds in this post...I dunno...)
awwww! you write us off ? We are the battleground, fighting behind enemy lines ...
Standing on principle will put you in the loner position in any organization you want to name: politics, religion, academia, recreation, education, science. The only place such a principled attitude cannot be easily overridden is in engineering, where proven calculations sustain a solid conclusion.
That's why good engineers make poor politicians, and successful politicians make such poor engineers. Think of Carter.
