like Joe Biden referred to and LBJ dealt with and who worked with Dems? If so, who? Thanks.

1. They're all lockstep liars
who can't come to terms with the fact that their party lost a legitimate election by a landslide and they're out of power and don't have an appointed dictator in the White House any more.

They all look like pallbearers for a dead party. Uniting against the American people is not a good strategy.

10. He's a No. I read that a couple of days ago. I almost don't blame him, can
you imagine how hard they came down on him? They don't let one of theirs vote against the party line. WE're the party that does that. :7

9. I think he's still young and somewhat idealistic. I was thinking of some old pols
about whom we hear stories. The characters who at the end, have a good heart and truly care for the people.

Cao may be like that now, but I don't hold out much hope for him in the long run. Unless he switches parties.

6. That would depend on the term good in the context of the GOP.

'Good' could refer to a "good little German" attitude towards your party and your lock step with it.

8. Ron Paul has openly questioned the American "empire"
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 09:09 PM by Grand Taurean
and the power of the Federal Reserve. He also tried to stop the Iraq War(Crime) along with several liberal Democrats.

Joseph Cao will show which side he is on momentarily.
Otherwise they are trash.
As for the Senate, all 41 Republicans are trash.

11. I've heard Cao is a 'no' -- I'm sure they came down on him full force. It did take
guts for his first vote, but I think that may be his one and only.
