Principles

Filed under: Politics — Bunker @ 3:16 pm

I know. I put a post with that title in the “Politics” category. Oxymoron.

I wonder if the voters in South Dakota are pleased. They replaced a Democrat with no principles with a Republican who has none.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Thursday that he would vote against the nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations, hinting his vote is a protest against the Pentagon’s recommendation to close Ellsworth Air Force Base.

He then tried to link the two as defense issues. Somebody call the Waaambulance!

Personally, I think he’s done nothing but hurt his chances of influencing the BRAC list. This is like a tantrum thrown by a 2-year-old.

Of course, Maverick is out there getting all the publicity he can. He is doing all he can to show he’s a “uniter, not a divider.” We all know he has no principles either. Perhaps that’s what he means.
