“People can blast Joe all they want, but he is one of the few Dem reps that would.”
yes, he’s grown on me also. Compared to the dangerous, traitorous, strategic egocentrists we’re facing this election year, JL is, imho, an honest Mensch.
BTW, the above description of the dem. party as it used to be? With the exception of FDR, the others (jfk, truman) would most certaily be considered Conservative in today’s
world.
Truman a conservative?!? He advocated national health insurance and wanted to end all right to work laws. He tried to keep on coercive wage and price controls long after the war was over. Unlike even FDR, he was the first president to go to war without consulting Congress.
Then again, you might actually be right. All of those actions are entirely consistent with today's version of big government conservatism, especially as represented by statists like McCain and Bush.
So it sounds like you like the idea of him being the VP for McCain?
Much peril there...
