Well I do agree with your post, but I was just wishing his family some comfort. I would imagine regardless of politics, they may be feeling somewhat sad today.

R.I.P. and condolences to his family. Alas, he did what he thought was right but erred.

He was the only Republican in the House to vote against President Ronald Reagan's tax cuts in 1981. A decade late, upset with President George W. Bush's opposition to the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, Jeffords decided that was the last straw. In May of 2001, he declared he would leave the Republicans and caucus with the Democrats. Anybody else find this totally bad writing? Is it a "decade late" or "decade later", is it George W Bush 43, or his father George H W Bush 41? He 'jumped' in 2001 which was 20 years after Reagan's Tax Cuts (which worked!) and a further 10 years after "the last straw"? Nothing said about the deep efforts spent by the Senate Democrats to deny VP Cheney a tie-breaker in the 50-50 Senate if he had stayed GOP!
Lousy writing!

I think your right. But I do credit Lott for that.
