Are you serious? Lingle would vote FOR spending cuts and entitlement reform with a new GOP president. This race could be our 60th vote to secure cloture.
As we saw with Obamacare, party labels DO matter. McConnell kept every GOP senator in opposition; unfortunately he only had 40 in December 2009, and he needed 41.
Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Mark Pryor etc - these so-called conservative Dems are the real fraud. I’ll take a Lingle GOP senator over a Democrat any day.
No. The REAL frauds are the "less ideological" Republicans.
When I hear terms like "less ideological", I stop listening. We've already got 7 or 8 "less ideological" Republicans in the Senate.
Sorry, I just don't relish the idea of always having to look over our shoulder at another Collins or Snowe, wondering when the "aisle-crossing" will begin.
