Jeffords was always an intellectual zero, with zero influence. Now it appears that he is losing his mental capacities, which is sad. That is what is causing him to quit, not the blather in this article.
Whats going to interest me, is who he supports in the senate race, Sanders or Douglas (if Douglas runs).
It should be noted that Governor Douglas is actually personal friends with Jeffords.
That is an incredibly disturbing image.
Whom Jeffords supports is largely irrelevant. I suspect he will duck in any event. I suspect Vermont will go with the Socialist for the attention factor.
Since I suppose no R has a chance in Vermont,Commie Bernie would pull the dems further to the left,distancing them even more from the average American.
If things progress, Jeffords wont remember being in the Senate....
Good riddance to a worthless POS.
Jumpin' Jim will not be missed.
Sorry to hear of Jeffords poor health. I simply assumed that he knew he wasn't going places without either party.
It's kinda funny, but whenever I'm looking for a chuckle or a smile I can simply type in JEFFORDS at the FR search engine,...and somebody is having a party someplace cutting up on the Jumster. Pretty harmless and I can't think of anyone else that desrves the abuse more.
Fortunately - or possibly unfortunately - I can still use that very same search engine to locate BYRD or SHAYS - libs have given much to the cause of mirth and witty banter on their account.
Adios Jumpin' Jim give Ben and Jerry my regards!
No doubt he can't recall who financed his last campaign!
I had the pleasure of making Calvin faces at J.J. in a small Chinese restaurant just weeks after his defection. I was visiting my lib Ma in VT, and when we were being shown to our table, I recognized his radiant, beaming "Come hither and worship Me" puss. I grabbed the seat facing his table so I could mouth unpleasantries at him throughout the meal. My brother almost threw up he laughed so hard.
No big loss.
Sanders will be the first avowed socialist senator? Really? I thought there would have been one or two from the period about 1890-1930.
Yeah. You do have to feel sorry for Jeffords in a way. I read his family was dismayed at the party switch.
The sad and mildy humorous thing about Jeffords is nothing he did, including the party switch, was about principle. He became an Independent as a result of not being invited to a Teacher of the Year ceremony at the White House- he threw a hissie fit and left the party. After the brief honeymoon, he was similarly unliked in the Democratic Party for his emotional instability and general difficultness.
The DNC does have a lost & found department, right?
That is an incredibly disturbing image.
Yeah, I almost choked on my pizza and died when I read that! What a sight that must have been.
Similar to the Leakster, Patrick Leahy.
Both are venal and vain men.
Not even Douglas? He won the governorship after the screamer. I know there are a lot of moonbats in VT, but I still hold out hope that they are not a majority of the state's population.
Jeffords even wrote a book about it.....MY DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. If you hurry, you can buy a hard copy of it at Amazon for 70 CENTS. LOL
If that were the test..50 senators (44 Libs/6 Reds) would be gone by now. :/
