Rob Portman recently donated about $30,000 to the Mississippi Thad Cochran campaign which included the commercials that branded the Tea Party as being very fond of the KKK. The Portman money also helped with the purchase of inner city Democrat votes in the Republican primary so the wishes of true Republicans could be overcome. The Cochran campaign, which Portman supported in a big way, was the triumph of Alinsky style smear and deception against a good conservative. It was vital for Republicans like Portman that the people of Mississippi not get the candidate they wanted but rather the candidate Mitch McConnell wanted.
I live in Ohio. Rob Portman is anything but a conservative.
I live in Ohio....in Portman’s old district.
I have watched countless democrats pretend conservatism until they get to Washington, and then, bam, the were always a liberal.
I keep hoping that some day from our side a sleeper will show his colors. I can’t tell you that’s Portman. In fact, if we could say it was anyone, then they will have failed at their strategy to infiltrate the system.
