I don't know about you but I don't have a problem with having the senate majority leader loosely on my team instead of firmly on my opponents team.
I know a number of leftists who pay lip-service to 2nd Amendment rights issues
and I know plenty of republicans who do the same and I don't vote for them just because they have an R by their name. I will vote and I have, in fact, voted against Republicans that didn't support the 2A.
it’s difficult for me to extend too much faith in people
On that we definitely agree...
Which is more dangerous to the sheep, a wolf in sheeps' clothing, or a wolf in wolves' clothing?
Or, to put it another way, when the bombs have to be dropped, I'd just as soon the enemy was in his own camp, not in mine.
Those who say Reid is “loosely on our team” are either dangerously naive beyond words, or flat out liars.
