Will the LAST Democrat senator in the South please turn out the liughts..
Breaux's a Dem. And I wouldn't come close to saying I agreed with him in politics. But, he was a good democrat in the sense that he's never been a whole hog lib. He did have the guts to go his own way and not cave to the lib/rat agenda. And has compromised as well as voted for more conservative things in which he believed.
I would have to say IMHO, of the senatorial rats, he is one I hate to see go... I somehow doubt that Louisiana will replace him with a republican. I don't know of another Rat there who can fill his shoes.
They don't build statues for "moderates".
Go away and line your pockets Senator.
Breaux was responsible for getting Nancy Landrieux re-elected, but using his reputation as a moderate to lie for her. He persuaded the voters that she was pro-life and a good pal of President Bush's. NOT.
Bipartisan legacy my arse.
