Norm isn't as conservative as we were led to believe when he was first elected...but, he represents Minnesota..which is about as lefty as any state in the nation.
None of the wimpy Pubbies better call me for contributions! I'll tell em to grow a pair!I listened to Michael Reagan and he wants to pass a bill requiring all men libs to wear dresses and lipstick!! So we can recognize them right away! Ha!
When was Norm Coleman ever considered a conservative? He was a democrat at one time, and then a republican who could win a mayoral race in a liberal city.
He's against ANWR, for crying out loud.
However, he claims his opposition to the troop surge is based on conversations he had over in Iraq. I think he's frustrated that the Iraqi people aren't doing more, and thinks the surge is just doing what the Iraqi people wouldn't do for themselves.
There are conservatives who have fallen into the trap of thinking Iraq is about installing democracy in Iraq, and they now think Iraq doesn't deserve it, and want to punish them by leaving.
If we can remind them that the war in Iraq is not for the Iraqi people, but to keep US safe, they could get back to looking for ways to WIN THE WAR, instead of ways to get our troops OUT of the war.
