Comments on: Hmmm https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/02/19/hmmm-4/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:32:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/02/19/hmmm-4/comment-page-1/#comment-20657 Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:32:49 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/02/19/hmmm-4/#comment-20657 Steve, I’m not kidding when I say I think this is another example of his recent erratic behavior. I have to wonder if he is losing it and becoming more extreme.

He has to know that if nothing changes, in 2008 the Democrats will win a solid majority in the Senate and won’t need to put up with him. He will lose his chairmanship even if he stays in the Democratic caucus. He has alienated too many people. The Republans aren’t going to give him anything in the minority leadership.

Joe is all about Joe. I regret I ever voted for the man. It would have no effect, but if I could retract that vote for Joe in 2000 w/o retracting my vote for Gore, I would do so. Not since I supported Dan Morales for Texas governor have I voted for a more fundamentally dishonest candidate. (For those outside Texas: former state AG Dan Morales was sentenced to four years for tax evasion. That’s another vote… in the primary only… which I regret.)

I’ve often suspected Bush’s “faith” is a matter of convenience. I’m both surprised and highly annoyed that Joe is also willing to forgo his religious obligations, given how he has cited them in taking social conservative positions.

Maybe its just to express his outrage at being challenged, but this was really unusual. I may doubt a lot of things about Joe, but not his commitment to his faith and its rules.

What I can’t figure out, though, is what the charade gained him. Where in the world does he hope to go by embracing his Republican brethern? It’s one thing to be bipartisan; it’s another to jump ship completely. I think the boy has completely lost it and only in his little bubble does all this make sense.
