His campaign in MA (for Ted Kennedy's seat) put a lot of emphasis on his opposition to the war in Afghanistan. He basically said that he would vote against it 100% of the time. He lost the race. Now, I'm not saying he lost because the residents of MA support the war and he does not. They don't. But Capuano is not reporting on what he heard the voters tell him during the campaign. He is merely repeating statements from his campaign literature. So how much does that represent the Will of the People??
And jobs? He's pushing for government handouts. He wants more Stimulus. "Give me millions to hand out, and I can create jobs and grow the economy." This is the other leg of his (failed) campaign. Again, this isn't what people told him as he campaigned across MA -- this is what he told them.
He is not a reliable guide. Now, I think he is correct that the Dems are screwed, but his "solution" is for the US to more of a pacifist nation, and to spend billions more on Stimulus.
Our hope should be that the Dems listen to him and take his advice. Because he understands nothing.
Dems are screwed? sounds good. But they screwed the Nation royal.
