“Additionally, I have heard from many constituents who strongly oppose unilateral action...”.
And my best guess is, THIS one is the overriding reason that Grimm changed his tune.
Not saying that Obama didn’t muck it up in the aftermath, but this guy didn’t get it from the get go and was ready to back Obama to the hilt. Yes Obama ruined it but he has ruined everything he has touched. And Grimm didn’t understand that??
This guy - don’t know his record -seems like a McCain wannabe type, at heart. But his CONSTITUENTS thought otherwise!
Bottom line.
“Additionally, I have heard from many constituents who strongly oppose unilateral action...”.
I was one of them. I wrote him yesterday telling him not to make the mistake of listening to the wrong people. I worked my ash off for him in 2010 10 hours a day for the last 70 days - no days off. He was ranked exactly in the middle number 218 moving left to right OR right to left by the National Journal. I wrote him and told him if he voted for anything even smelling like amnesty I'd campaign against him since the Democrat that would be replacing him would at least get us some federal money for our bridges once they took the House again. I told him I'd march in front of his office wearing a sandwich board telling people why they shouldn't vote for him. We'll see if he's just started listening or just finished listening hmmm.
