The senator is most certainly a turncoat to conservatives, a la Arlen Specter, but I try to remember he lost six years of his life in a horrible place. I kind of give him a pass. He cannot hurt us. He is like a gnat buzzing around the head.
Then he should go home and be with his family and not trying to tell us that we have not sacrificed enough for the country. He should tell that to the families of the HEROS that won't be coming home EVER.
Sorry...to paraphrase Bush 41, "Read my lips--NO MORE PASSES!!!"
I'm damn sick and tired of giving passes. That's all that Kerry is running on, getting a pass from his Senate and anti-war record and his paper cuts in Vietnam. That's all that McRINO is running on, he was in prison during a war from 35 years ago. That's all that Michael Berg is running on, same as Ted Kennedy, same as Bob Kerrey, and all of these others.
Tax cuts lead to increased spending, on items that are taxed. It's freaking Economics 101. Consumers get product, vendors get revenue. That's why sales work so well: the store owners are willing to get rid of product, if it will give them cash flow. And if McRINO can't see that, and if he wants to cut defense spending in the middle of a damn war, then he had better now and FOREVER shut his hole about being a "Reagan Conservative".
"Pass", my ass. No more pucking fasses.
