(Community Matters) by stonewalling & voting lock-step against the President’s stimulus and budget bills – despite serious inclusion in the negotiations and details of each – Congressional Republicans have proven that they’ll put politics before most American’s interests.

I was against the approach then and remain against the approach now – as 14 moderate Senators established, so long as well-qualified, non-extremist candidates’ nominations move forward for a vote
