What is his stand on socialized medicine?
Well in the past he hasn’t had any problem with it. He did vote against Obamacare in the house but he’d taken considerable flack for his CAP and Trade vote where he was one of 8 Republicans that deserted ship. Previously he had voted with Democrats to override President Bush’s vetoes of the SCHIP program and voted for an expansion to Medicare (both expansions of government control of healthcare and severely fiscally irresponsible bills).
This guy makes Susan Collins and Olympia Snow look conservative. He is the political reincarnation of Lincoln Chafee or Christopher Shays. The important thing is that we don’t need his seat and we don’t need the idea that some how we need more liberal Republicans to win to become the overriding idea and you will bet if this guy wins Obama’s old seat that is what you are going to hear. It really makes the Tea Parties look like they are powerless and big government Republicanism is on the rise again.
