Reply #25: Jeffords = gutless wonder

[HeilChimp]

Jeffords is soooo overrated, it seems like few want to look at his actual voting record.

He has done precisely ONE good thing for progressives, and that is qutting the Repug party and getting the Senate out of the hands of right-wing facist evagelicals. Too bad he doesn't have the guts to go all the way and join with the progressive wing of the party instead of being a "moderate Independant"

As SOON as the repugs stole the Senate back, this guy was practically BEGGING to rejoin their party if he got his precious little committee chairmanship back. Obviously Jeffords top priority to advance his own clout in Washington, not advance progressive ideals. As long as he remains with the "inpependant" label, we're stuck with the LEAST "influenticial" progressive in the Senate.

It's amazing that a state like Vermont (home to Howard Dean, Bernie Sanders, and Pat Leahy) has only had ONE Democrat senator in their entire history. No wonder we have only 44 Dems in the Senate when people settle for second best.

I wish Howard or another lifelong, GENUINE Democrat from Vermont would seek that Senate seat. We need the real deal representing us, not a “free agent” like Jeffords who rubber-stamped Ashcroft's appointment and chimp's tax cuts for the rich.
