Say it ain't so, Senator Rudman .....

( - promoted by Dean Barker)

   I suppose that when you are part of a desperate campaign, desperate stuff happens. Still, while I know it's an article of faith in the GOP that individual voter fraud occurs on a massive scale: it's sad to see that former N.H. Senator Warren Rudman is one of them. He and former Missouri Senator Danforth are challenging Democratic voter registration groups they claim would be "gumming up the system for registering voters."

  Here's the worst part: responding to a lawsuit by the Democratic Party in Michigan alleging that the GOP is "caging" people whose homes were foreclosed:

Rudman said the suit was a "red herring", and that "all the local officials deny it".

  Sounds like the snotty mother of a neighborhood brat who informs you, "My son says he didn't do it".

  Coming from a Karl Rove or Alex Castellanos ... well, par for the course. I had hoped for more from Warren Rudman .... maybe it was näive.

Are you surprised? (4.00 / 3)
I have never fallen for the self created halo Rudman has duct-taped over himself.

Time and time again Rudman has proven himself not all he pretends to be.

One of the most glaring example is the federal courthouse he pushed to be built and named after himself - hmm, Mr. Budget Hawk builds the most expensive building in the state? Ever been in it? No expense was spared, nevermind that it looks totaly out of place in that Concord neighborhood.
With Rudman it is okay to cut children and elderly food and health programs but even better   to spend tens of millions to honor yourself.

Have you written a letter to the editor today? Have you donated today? Have you put up signs? Have you made calls? Have you talked to your neighbors?


Not that it's particularly relevant, (4.00 / 3)
but we have Senator Danforth to thank for Clarence Thomas.

I've never been a big fan.
