My Senator, Kit Bond, supports this travesty, too..
My senators both support it, too, but, since they are Rats from the Rat kingdom of Maryland, that is no surprise.
Anyway when he was governor in 1976, he supported Ford over Reagan. Kit lost his reelection bid for Governor that year - the Dem machine got the votes out for Carter; not quite the same enthusiasm for Ford on the Republican side.
Hopefully, he can connect the dots this time unlike his friend, the FORMER Senator from Missouri Jim Talent who ignored the pro-lifers and walked with Danforth on stem cell issues.
