Ain't it, though? Imagine, a free people exercising their Constitutional right to a republican form of government, deciding for whatever reason they choose that enough is enough, they will send someone else to Washington on their behalf. Shocking, simply shocking.
David Brooks is a !amn outrage.
You read my mind. I almost wrote Orin Hatch should be next. While we don’t need firebrands we sure as hell don’t need soft Republicans who are all ready to compromise and don’t act as good standard bearers of the constitution. Career politicians are our problem, they are used to going along with the same phony debates where the question isn’t whether the sovereign citizen is going to get screwed or not but merely a question of how much.
“You can tell you’re on the right track by the people you piss off.”
I like Ted Nugent’s quote, also: “You can tell you’re over the target if you’re taking flak!”
Bingo! Record the names of the elected ‘Pubs and Party officials who are bitching about Bennett and put them on the list for retirement.
That wasn't the sole reason, but one might think so from the news coverage. I've been noticing the written and TV reports on the Bennett story, and TARP, the stimulus and his working with the Dims on part of Obamacare have been mentioned. But what no report has mentioned is that Bennett voted Yes on amnesty for illegals.
I guarantee the his amnesty vote was a reason for many who opposed him (just as Utah threw out Chris Cannon), but you'd never know it from the news coverage. It's as if they just don't want to mention his Yes on amnesty.
Your speculation is wildly wrong. Both Rove and Cheney endorsed Bennett. Google it.
Agreed. WE can be the firebrands.
Yea, they bamboozled a large number. Still they don't get it.
“it IS A Depression.”
Not even close!
What’s needed is a depression as bad or worse than the 30s!
“The choice was that or let the economy crash. “
That’s exactly what is needed and it could happen yet!!!
A full blown depression as bad or worse than the 30s is what is desperatly needed!!!!
Is nobody on the talking heads going to call this “Democracy in action”, which is what it is?
I love to watch RINO’s whine!
Somebody draw a warm bath so David can wash the sand out of his nether parts.
Evidently Mitt Romney’s endorsement didn’t actually work?
If this is what the people in his state want why are people so upset? Bennett needs to be gracious and move on.
The cockroaches have awakend the Orkin Man. Scurry, scurry now, little men.
Thomas Sowell himself supported the initial TARP bailout - he admits as much, while saying it was a mistake. When the waters are muddied enough that even Thomas Sowell loses his bearings momentarily, you have to cut Bennett a little slack on that one. How do you know that the next guy will do any better when the next storm hits?But then there's the other two issues on top of that.
the fact is, he’s going against terrific head-winds this year and he cast three votes: TARP, stimulus and an individual mandate for health care. Now, you might like one, two or all three of those, but being opposed to them is not outside the mainstream of American political argument. - George WillI think that those last two votes were stinkers. And I think that putting incumbents on notice that they don't have sinecures can be done in no other way than denying renomination to someone who seems to have gotten too comfortable. And, IMHO, the sending of that message to Republican incumbents is precisely what upset Williams and Dionne. Because while in reality they hold no brief for Democrats going along with Republicans, they feel entitled to expect Republicans to be more bipartisan than the Democrats. This action by Utah Republicans rejects that assumption.
Cleaning the sewer, that is this Congress, one RAT and one RINO at a time.
They can start packing now; we want them vacating We The People’s house ASAP after November.
Who is David’s main butt-buddy these days?
