Add another "R" to the policical makup, will it? Does a pansy change to a rose when a politician think he can get more votes as a rose?

What's the use of having more "R"s if the "R"s vote like "D"s?

I'd agree except this "D" has been voting more like an "R" than some lifelong "R"s. A mid-80s ACU is nothing to sneeze at and you gotta know he was taking a lot of heat in the Dem caucus for voting that way (which is probably why he doesn't hold any chairmanships or minority chairs despite his many years in Washington).

Generically, I would agree with you but not this guy who could be accurately portrayed as the Zell Miller of the House. There are many "R"s in Congress who started out as "D"s and some have been among our most loyal conservatives (Phil Gramm, for example). My only regret with Hall is that he should have read the tea leaves a lot sooner than this.

A true statement, but one that certainly doesn't apply in this case.
Do just a little research before you comment.
