Senator Dole has done an outstanding job, Senator Burr on the other hand, has been a disappointment. He and his buddy Lindsey Graham voted to bring the amnesty bill back to the floor. Burr knew it was against the will of the people, but he tried to force it on us.
Burr voted against the DREAM bill, but I still don’t trust him.
Go Fred!
Burr did vote against cloture the final time.
Having worked in the House of Representatives before (I have interned anyway): I am not defending Burr, but I know a litte about proceedure- sure it would have been better for Burr to kill the bill the first time, instead of letting it come back up to kill in the final vote, yet...but I believe he only did it to vet everyone’s arguments fully for and against it..He voted against it in the end, anyway..! Just my take.
Yes, I would have thought that Burr would have been the more reliable conservative, but no, Dole is more conservative and usually reliable. However, I think in her heart Dole would like to take liberal positions, but she is trying to hold her thin base together. Burr seems like a sure loser in 2010: that is the seat that always changes hands after one term.
