That’s not true — you conveniently forget we had the likes of Warner, Specter, Voinivich and other very moderate to liberal Senators who blocked a lot of what Dole, Inhofe, Nichols, etc. wanted to get done. You do remember Trent Lott don’t you? Spineless.
Don’t go blaming the conservative Republicans when they kept shouting about the problem led by McCain, Don Nichols, Jim Inhofe, Liddy Dole and others. Blame the John Warners of the GOP along with the liberal Dems.
My understanding too is that Spineless Lott’s Senate seat could go Democrat on Nov. 4 though that is not certain.
