He seems to hire real liberals on his staff and they are very dismissive to conservatives. So maybe you're right. He could end up being the one liberal Republican that the media trot out on a given issue to show that the liberal measure has "bi-partisan" support. I'll think about it.

I have him on Twitter and FaceBook so I can say, "Not happy with your vote on ..." whatever the bill-du-jour is. <br /><br />But if I have to choose between a RINO and an ASS, I guess I'll hold my nose and pick the RINO.DarcsFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757804686134389853noreply@blogger.com
