"Thune: Corker breaks ranks because he 'understands' issues"

[Clio the Leo]

And this is why, if I MUST have a Republican representing me in the Senate, I'm glad it's Bob Corker and not John Thune.

Thune: Corker breaks ranks because he 'understands' issues

In either a garbled thought or one of the great, classic gaffes, John Thune suggests that his colleague Bob Corker breaks from the party line a lot because he actually thinks about policy:

"I think he’s a guy who’s willing to get down into the weeds," said South Dakota Sen. John Thune, who is No. 4 in GOP leadership. "Because he immerses himself in that and understands it so well — the positions he adopts may not always be the ones that everyone else in our conference comes to."

1. Truth by accident....I guess.

2. wow, so in complimenting Corker he reveals the GOP

caucus is made up of a bunch of know nothings, which shouldn't be a surprise because if these clowns were around in the 1840s and 1850s they would have been members of the Know Nothing Party.

3. That would explain the GOP's track record.

4. Corker is my Senator

but I surely do not trust the little weasel troll. He makes my skin crawl. Lesser of two evils?

5. Considering his opponent was Harold "Go Along To Get Along!" Ford,

I don't know much better off you'd have been.
