I just find it funny that we replaced one party line guy with another party line guy. I guess when Thune campaigned against Daschle and how he took his marching orders from Washington it wasn’t that he had a problem with taking orders… it was merely a problem with which side of the aisle those orders came from.
Daschle wasn’t replaced because of his party line adherence, he was replaced because he campaigned one way in SD and acted the opposite in DC.
Daschle got to DC as a Conservative Democrat, he left as one of the most Liberal Senators when you actually looked at his voting record.
As long as Thune doesn’t start acting like a RINO or quit paying his taxes he will be just fine.
What’s interesting is how Tim Johnson gets a pass for being a Democrat puppet all day long. Steffy is the only one who has a track record of bucking her leadership, yet ironically she’s the one in the most trouble these days.
Tim Johnson gets a pass because everyone knows he’s on his way out. Why people still voted for zombie Johnson I’ll never understand. He is no longer an effective representative of the people of SD.
Steffy is trying to please too many people and in so soing, pissing off everyone. There are a lot of republicans who would never vote for a democrat even if they agreed on 95% of the issues. There are also a lot of dems who see her as a traitor and won’t show up to support her.
It is sad to get spanked by your own team on national TV. I bet it will be a long time before Johnny go on that show again!
That’s all Johnny has ever done. I don’t remember hearing an original thought come out of his mouth.
I suppose that works out well if you’re trying to move up i the party, though.

Err… “in so doing”.
Sorry, Sy, real liberals vote against pointless wars.
