        Hell, in today's climate I would consider him a moderate Republican. nm - Dignan Dec 6, 04:52 2
        
        If you disregard that he's siding with Democrats against the Republicans' tax proposal - Strongbad Dec 6, 06:31 1
        
        IMO, he's further to the Left than Flake, Collins, McCain -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 06:32
        
        OK. It's a vocabulary issue then. - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:52
