I’m trying to figure out what the Indiana GOP has against Dan Burton and why they prefer the four candidates who have declared against him already for the primary.
He's a womanizer, he doesn't show up to vote, his family is on his campaign's payroll, and he's been involved in some "issues" relating to gifts from lobbyists. The Indiana GOP would rather have someone without his baggage.
I love Burton, but he has a problem that goes beyond ideology, and it is that he apparently has a relatively high absentee rate with respect to voting. After nearly 3 decades in Congress, he’s probably grown tired of the crap. I don’t blame him, but we can’t have our people missing votes (unless they’re voting rodent, in which case, they can miss as many as possible).
I was going to ask you about that...I have no idea...anyone from Indiana out here?
