Fair enough.
He was an officer in the Army Rangers, serving in Vietnam. He's been a rep for over 35 years.
Does this not make him part of the ' same ol same'? If he's been there THAT long....why has he not instigated ' change'?
He's been a member of many committees during his tenure, and is currently Chairman of the Armed Services Committee (which he actually calls to meetings). He's personally sponsored more pieces of major legislation than the number of biographies he's written. But which pieces of legislation, that can range from protecting the termite to major tax legislation, just the initiation of a piece of legislation doesn't mean squat.
He doesn't have the executive experience that a governor would have, but after dealing first hand with the top executive for 35 years, he certainly knows what the job entails.
He has instigated "change."
(As opposed to just talk about it like some Socialist lip-flapper that we all know) He voted against the bailout. He sponsored legislation that would stop Bush's free pass for Mexican trucks, secure our borders, lower taxes on manufacturers that did their manufacturing in the US, force fair trade - not free, mandatory inspection of cargo trucks and vessels entering the US, etc..... How much more do you want?
