Voinovich is a dweeb, plain and simple. I have had numerous occassions to either interview him or listen to his speech to a group of voters. He talks conservative and then votes less so. And he was wrong, wrong, wrong on the tax cuts he oppossed a couple of years ago. The economy had been hit with 2 body blows, the tech bubble in March 2000 and then 9/11. The tax cuts helped lift us out of that. Yes, we have big deficits. But imagaine what those would be if the economy was still sputtering. The tax cuts spurred the economy which increased revenues. The deficits are a matter of increased security spending, the war, and TOO MUCH Congressional discretionary spending.
Back to the dweeb. What has he done substantively in the Senate? Nada. He is just taking up space. Oh and speaking of spending. When Mayor of Cleveland in the 80's he was ALWAYS whining about the lack of Federal Funds coming into his city.
The BASE must continue to email, call and tell the RINO types that we, the BASE put them into office in the first place. Not the NY Times, liberal Dems, the UN or Europe! I have done so to not only the RINO's but also the Leadership , the WH and even some media outlets. It is not only Bolton, but the jurists, the issue of illegal immigration and of course, SS reform and Tax Reform. Unless the BASE continues to do so, the WH and the RINO's will compromise away the majority. That must not happen. And the President is not protected from this onslaught. He needs calls, emails to stop acting like a RINO himself.
Would you happen to know if Voinovich ever ran as a Democrat? I live in Ohio (obviously) and an acquaintance claims V was once a Dem.
I can't find any confirmation of that and think she is mistaken.
