Flip-Flop: Coleman strikes again

Once again Normy has flip-flopped on his campaign promises, which we can now add to the total of 3 flips in the past month. When Norm Coleman ran for Senate, he ran saying that he wouldn't push for school vouchers because people in Minnesota think vouchers are a bad idea. Now Normy's boss has decided that vouchers would be good in the Washington DC area, and guess who wins? I can tell you now it isn't the promise made to Minnesotans. When campaigning, Coleman often brought up the statistic that Wellstone (whom he ran against) had more votes against any legislation that G W Bush supported than any other Senator. That's an impressive fact. Normy said that he wouldn't be a rubber stamp because he disagreed with Bush on several other issues that I have covered here as well. For a free thinker, I cannot think of a single vote that has come up in the Senate where Norm hasn't voted exactly along Bush's lines. Not one single vote. Coleman ran on a position of bipartisanship, of reaching across the table, of bringing people together to get things done. That turned out to be the biggest load of horseshit this side of his "marriage." Now that Coleman and the other Republican drones have a majority in all 4 branches of the government (I count congress as two), he doesn't have to reach across the table for anything. All he needs to do is smile bright and say 'Of course I agree with you, Mr. President.' When Howard Dean wins in 2004, who will Norm turn to in order to suck up? He won't know how to vote because Bush won't be calling him up to give him orders. Coleman brings shame to the great state of Minnesota by bringing in the agenda of a corrupt leader from the least of all states, Texas.

That's about it for my partisan rants for today. I realize that my personal attack against Norm for his sham of a marriage detracts from my overall argument, but then again, who really reads this anyway?
