Some conservatives are liberals who have just been mugged. You don’t often hear this from the muggers, though.

The same famously happened to George McGovern. It didn’t do any good when he bitched about it.

I understand regulations and . . . the necessity for it.

Sounds like he has not quite seen the light yet.

That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator

Representing the interests of your state would have made you a better US senator, you moron.

You had to bring up Bonior didn’t you? I’ve spent years trying to forget his name. I used to be “represented” by him. In the description the author neglected to use Communist Sympathizer and Traitor when describing him. I hope his restaurant fails.

My mom used to be a liberal until she started 3 businesses after retiring and moving to Arizona from Minnesota.
She became a conservative during the process. I was always amused by her complaining about the state (Arizona) as before she was always wanting more gov’t.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Bonior was one of the worst when it came to pushing a liberal, regulatory state agenda in Congress. Now he writes this BS article to try to rationalize his business and Congressional experience. He doesn’t want to face the damage he did pushing an extreme regulatory state.

Embrace the suck, Bonior.

They just went out and extorted someone for themselves and their families and friends alone.

[cripplecreek]

When his family approached him more than four years ago about starting Zest, Bonior became a scrappy entrepreneur. He used his congressional access to knock on every one of 435 congressional offices

Sounds like he has the crony part down.
