Bob the Senator: No He Can't New University Online
Utah’s GOP held a convetion on May 8 to determine who would be the Republican candidate for senator. The incumbent Republican Senator, Bob Bennett, did not make the cut. The peculiar thing is that Bennentt is a true conservative. His problem was that he voted “wrongly” for TARP and put together a plan that said, like the Obama bill, health insurance should be mandated.So, Sen. Bennett voted to save the nation from the brink of collapse and co-sponsored a bill that didn’t go anywhere. After years of being conservative, he blew it with a couple of votes. I bet he’d like to have those back.
Bennett: “Looking back on them, with one or two very minor exceptions, I wouldn’t have cast any of them any differently; even if I had known at the time they were going to cost me my career.”
Well, what do you know? I guess I was wrong. He’s sticking behind the principle, “I may be conservative, but I’m not going to let the country go 1929.” Fair enough.
