Yeah, he was a solid conservative. Then the 2000 election he became a RINO and introduced that ridiculous power-sharing agreement with the RATS. I don't know what came over him, but he's nothing more than an establishment hack now.
The Democrats threatened to “out” him. He was a cheerleader at Ol’ Miss, and the rumor was (I was in WDC at the time) that he had had a homosexual encounter while a student there. That is also why he killed the Clinton trial in the Senate.
how about blackmail, that could do it or large sacks of cash.
