Oh, one other fun factoid. Hoeven of Corker-Hoeven? Yeah, he got into the race for the Senate in 2010 when Democrat Byron Dorgan retired. Dorgan was a stanch opponent of amnesty.[ emphasis added]comment:
So, those voting for Hoeven thought they were getting a staunch conservative in place of a Democrat? And he does this?
That link to Wikipedia confirms something that I thought previously. People will support somebody is deemed to have created prosperity. Hoeven got credit for the oil boom in North Dakota, but did he really have anything to do with that?
Secondly, if somebody would actually DO something helpful that would create prosperity, that would be the real ticket to winning an election. Not amnesty that will split the GOP and maybe the nation as well.
