Some quotes ...

I happened across a couple of quotes yesterday while checking Hot Air out, and these caught my eye.

Democrat National Committee chairman Timmy Kaine says this:

“That the Tea Party would consider Bob Bennett — one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate — too liberal just goes to show how extreme the Tea Party is,”

Squishy RINO David Brooks opines:

"This is a damn outrage, to be honest. This is a guy who was a good Senator and he was a good Senator and a good conservative, but a good conservative who was trying to get things done. The Wyden-Bennett bill, which he co-sponsored — if you took the health care economists in the country, they would probably be for that bill, ideally. It was a substantive, serious bill, a bipartisan bill, with strong conservative and some liberal support. So he did something sort of brave by working with Democrats which more Senators should do and now they’ve been sent a message to him don’t do that.

Now I understand Timmy Kaine's reasons for painting the Tea Party as extreme, because that works in his favor.

But Mr Brooks fails to take into account one simple fact: politicians work for us. If their performance isn't up to the constituency's standards, we have the right to replace him.

Apparently his performance wasn't up to snuff.
