I’ve never seen Thune as a contender for anything higher.
And if he voted for this bill, he needs to be retired from office next time around. He isn’t a constitutionalist; he doesn’t get it. Get someone in there who is and does.
Did he really? What a maroon....<p
I think the jerks in the Senate needs some educating on this issue.
Hopefully the House will hold the line on this evil bill.
but, but, Thune has Presidential Hair (tm).
Thune will never rise to anything.
I am so damn fed up with being stabbed in the back over and over again. Land of the free, my rear end.
johnny thune is a rino, totally overated and a jerk that should get lost real quick.
His only claim to fame as far as I’m concerned was that he defeated Tom Daschle.
Isn’t Thune from a BIG farm state? No doubt some BIG agriBIGness got their clutches on him. Had him by the “junk” so to speak.
Thune needs to grow some BIG ones.
I never considered him at all. He strikes me as being too much like GW. Not that GW didn’t have his strengths, which I certainly appreciate, but much too liberal with tax dollars for my taste.
Actually, I just watched Mike Pence give a speech to the Federalist Society that was absolutely riviting. He might be someone I’ll look at if he decides to throw his hat in the ring.
Between this and the 19 senators who voted to kill the freedom of the internet, I don’t trust any of them. Jim DeMint might be the only one in the entire Senate.
the Senator from South Dakota - *sponsored by Monsanto
What do you think of Bobby Jindal. I saw him on Hannity last night and he has really improved his presentation over his earlier appearances. I think that the controversy over the BP oil spill has really stiffened his resolve and given him more self confidence.
Thune appears to have gone “beltway” since he’s been in the Senate. I have to agree with you about supporting him. That’s why I say the ‘12 ticket should have some combination of Demint/Palin/Pence, doesn’t make much difference to me at this point. I know Palin and Demint put the fear of God in the left as well as the GOP elite, and that’s good.
Thune who?
Thune lost me when he joined the RATs in opposing Bolton’s confirmation. He’s been a disappointment in the Senate for a while, and certainly doesn’t deserve a promotion to POTUS.
Thune has turned into a 100% full-blooded RINO piece of sh!t.
Mark him for primary challenge, and defeat in any race he enters from now until he is extinct (politically speaking, of course)
“What do you folks think?”
First, Thune voted nay and Demint didn’t vote, so Thune performed better than Demint. (Vote passed easily anyway, so it doesn’t matter.)
Second, Thune is going nowhere.
Third, don’t worry, you’ll find something wrong with all of them by primary time. America will be looking for an experienced centrist in 2012, and Republicans allow too much open voting in primaries for a conservative to be easily noiminated. Which means most of us won’t care for the eventual nominee. Broken glass time again.
