I had almost written the guy off but this has changed my mind forever.
This guy is a pure politician. He wants a commission. He wants to study reforms. He wants..... to appear like he's on our side. He isn't.
He is a two faced politician.
Here's my bet - he'll lose in his primary to Hermann Cain. I hope so. Johnny's a liar.
I'm inclined to ask why kick the can down the road with yet another commission. In the final analysis, we will have to fight the Fair Tax through to adoption. So let's get at it now.
"I had almost written the guy off but this has changed my mind forever."
Perhaps you SHOULD have written him off. Isakson is the consummate politician. He was touting his sunset bill three years ago before he ever ran for the senate. Then when he was ran against 2 FairTaxers in the primary, he signed onto the bill in the house. Now that he's in the senate, he has reverted to his true form.
He's a snake.
