He's lost any ability to talk about fiscal conservatism. I'd like ot think of him as a good guy, but I have about $193 billion reasons not to.

I think he articulates conservative principles very well when interviewed - much better than most, and I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, he is from a pretty blue state, and I can understand all of those votes very well, being from Michigan. I don't agree with these votes, but trying to get re-elected here (and believe me, we need him)after voting against them would be a neat trick. I have no problem with your chiding of McCotter for these votes. They all need some pushback. I just hope there isn't a foolish sense out there that the guy isn't conservative, or that we can do better than him in Michigan. I think he's one of the good guys.

I've a friend who did new media outreach for his office back in the day and she was a great find for him (and his people are solidly professional and creative). But he's certainly not a limited-government conservative, and that's far more important. He is certainly a smart and witty man.

I interviewed him once and he was witty, in his odd sort of way. But he's turned out to be like so many before him. Bring home the pork to keep getting the votes. Sad. Thanks for the link and Happy Independence Day. Not that it means much anymore. Sigh... I used to like him. I interviewed him once and he was witty, in his odd sort of way.

If politicians do not want to get serious about cutting and saving in Congress, then they can learn about it in the public sector. Small political gestures will not work anymore.
