If Barbour names Roger Wicker to the Senate, we might just lose the seat. We need Chip Pickering to run.
BTW, Wicker is in bed with liberal Democrats such as Ted Kennedy in their support for Puerto Rico’s “Commonwealth status,” which results in billions of federal dollars being sent to Puerto Rico but the 4 million U.S. citizens that live there not having to pay federal income taxes (except for employees of the federal government) or the right to vote for the President or members of Congress. Wicker actually appeared with Ted Kennedy and other liberal Democrats in a TV ad supporting liberal Democrat Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá for Governor of Puerto Rico, and wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in support of Acevedo-Vilá when he stole the 2004 gubernatorial election by getting spoiled ballots (marked three times for two offices) to be counted for him. I assume that Wicker will again come to Acevedo-Vilá’s defense when the Governor and/or his closest cronies are indicted in federal court for corruption (which indictments are expected as early as this week).
