The next elections are but sixteen months away now, and I'm sure there'll be more than 50 Republicans in that next Senate. So no need to lose any sleep. If you vote party and not for the individual, you're not doing your homework as a citizen. The electorate can choose to vote you out next election, but you still have to face yourself and your conscience every morning for the rest of your life. In the end, the individual has to do what's right for themselves and their constituents, party be damned.
Few questions solicit such little response.
A strong statement about the disregard that Nebraskans-Americans hold for politicians these days. Gary from Beatrice. He was voted in because he was a Republican, now he's not a Republican. It is his decision, but he betrayed those who voted for him. George Bush ran for president as a moderate and has since drifted significantly to the right in many issues, such as missile defense, environmental quality, relations with China and his energy policy.
