I was extremely disappointed when Upton was made chairman. His excuse for banning incandescent bulbs was really dumb.

I don't know if he is a criminal or just stone stupid. Either way, he should not be where he is.

I was infuriated. I think he is neither criminal nor stupid, though. I believe he is the poster child for the "Ruling Class" mentality.

We know better than you. We'll do what's best for the sheeple ...

Thus his blind faith in green, light bulb bans, cash for clunkers. Those things are part of his belief system and his newfound conservatism is just survival instinct.
