This is such a typical response. You completely ignore my point. I don't care what you interpret his inner motivation to be based on one or two interviews. The guy votes as a Democrat. Calling him center-right is just stupid.
right. going by what someone says is totally irrelevant and irrational. the voting record might be all that mattered if he wasn't in a leadership position. since he is, he has to be judged on his leadership as well as his votes.
