11. Yeah... he's hard to listen too but saying good things- "This is not a time for politics as usual."
He called the Dem Party a GOOD PARTY! :D

9. And traitor Joe Lieberman will do the same for McCain at GOP Convention
Jim Leach is a fiscal conservative that is appalled at how Bush & Co have bankrupted America.

16. He was a VERY moderate Republican while in the House.
Also a sanctimonious prick, but a moderate one.
