... John McCain (R-Ariz.) was close to leaving the Republican Party in 2001, weeks before then-Sen. Jim Jeffords (Vt.) famously announced his decision to become an Independent, according to former Democratic lawmakers who say they were involved in the discussions. In interviews with The Hill this month, former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and ex-Rep. Tom Downey (D-N.Y.) said there were nearly two...

... (who is no slouch herself with a "9" rating), and well to the left of Leiberman, Reid, and Jumping Jim Jeffords. He's earned that record with his broad view of government as the driver for everything that happens in this country. For example, in Barack Obama's America, it is the job of the government, using your tax dollars, to develop new technologies: "Deploy Cellulosic Ethanol: Obama...

... electing Pat Leahy and Bernie Sanders. Not to mention harboring the disastrously double-minded Jim Jeffords (whom we have to thank for the Senatorial career of Sanders, to begin with.)Still, despite its silliness, such dogmatic pronouncements by local government serve as reminders of just why we don't have a "democracy."When a thousand people in a town in Vermont think they have the authority...

... in Canada, a major scandal is brewing. Imagine if back in 2001 the Democratic leadership bribed Jim Jeffords with $1 million to switch from Republican to Independent and thus tip the Senate majority into Democratic hands. That would certainly be a major national scandal. Well, that's what's going on in the maple leaf country. According to TPM : Back in 2005, while the former Liberal government...

... in the House, and in the Senate, with the VD in charge. We had it our way. Then came that bastard Jim Jeffords. I will never forgive him. He threw the Senate back to those Democrats, and it looked like we were going to have to compromise and cooperate. But then, as if to answer our prayers, came 9/11. Oh, I remember it just like yesterday. It was great. We once again had complete control...

... too when Democrats were openly being approached by fence-sitting Republicans such as Chaffee and Jim Jeffords (who did make the switch). McCain, coming off a very nasty loss that he took quite personally in the 2000 primary, and prior to to the 2002 cycle when GWOT fever took hold, and then 2004 when he reinvented himself (again) as a “party man”, certainly had every reason to consider it...

... are, in fact, necessary. Clinton, like lots of perfectly admirable Senators from Carl Levin to Jim Jeffords and beyond, doesn't have that extra bit. It's the difference between a person who has to change his policies to become more popular, and a person who makes policies more popular by espousing them. Obviously, that's a quality that exists on a continuum, but Obama seems to me to be much...

Here's an old one from the Green Mountain Daily on Monday Apr 24, 2006: US Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) has contributed over $10,000 to US Rep. Bernie Sanders' bid for the US Senate to replace US Senator Jim Jeffords this fall. Obama also strongly supports socialist Bernie Sanders, here's the powerful video in which Obama shows what "change" means.Who likes socialist Bernie Sanders more?...

But what they ended up with for their efforts was “compassionate conservatism”. President George W. Bush increased federal spending from Clinton's 18.4% of GDP (lowest since 1966) to over 20%. Surpluses became deficits. Campaign financing was...

McCain as a RINO (Republican in name only) and is in good company with Liberals like “Jumping” Jim Jeffords, Lincoln Chaffee, and others who claim they are republicans but are as way-far left liberals like Obama, Kennedy, Clinton, Byrd, etc…. It's amazing how easily and quickly the Liberal Democrats attempt to supress Free Speach in this country. We should start calling the Democrats the...
