That was a profound statement on the integrity of the Democrat Party. John Ashcroft conducted himself like a virtuous man, a servant to the best interests of an authentically hurt Missouri people. He thought about losing his spouse and his son ... he wasn't going to open that wound.
Carnahan voted AGAINST THIS MAN!
That's all we need to know about the Dems. They are soulless mobsters.
There is NO scenario, reviewed by any people of good will and integrity, where Jean Carnahan's vote against John Ashcroft for Attorney General can be seen as anything but a corrupt and despicable ploy. Ashcroft gave up his Senate seat to heal the loss of Missourians. Carnahan jammed it up his exit ramp.
Nothing bad enough can happen to Democrats. They're mobsters.
Anyone who uses the term "RINO" should have Marty O'Neill like "fines and suspensions", the worst RINO has a better voting record than the best conservative Democrat.
Carnahan can't win. Harkin can't win. Wellstone can't win. Lautenberg can't win. Citizens who vote for Tom Harkin or Frank Lautenberg are awaiting a check. Freepers who see no difference between the GOP and Democrats need to be moved into the Special Olympic forum, because that is no longer a sane, rational approach.
