I've been thinking about the supposed tussle between Idaho's two Congressmen...
I suppose I've been noodling on this issue 'cause I was around both men for years back in the Legislature when both were Reps (one eventually became Speaker) - and the latest PR deal probably has a bit of that "feel" to it. (No, not the "I'm gonna throw you out the window" thing...but rather, the basic voting patterns of the two men.)
See, the Bigger-S and the Lesser-S have REALLY been at odds with each other for years. (Maybe the Lesser-S should have gone in for more teeth cleanings from the Bigger-S, I suppose...)
The recent hug-fest between them never really seemed to fit, to me. The HUGE issue of the billion dollar bail-out has just accentuated the rift/difference/earthquake between them.
How cool is that?
Just think for a second...Sali stands up and says the bail-out is flawed...and that it does NOT match the philosophy of the GOP. Simpson says "spend it, baby."
What if Bill Sali's right?
Are we stuck as a state with two opposing votes? Yep...and, we REALLY get to see what these two fellows believe....so could there be 700 billion reasons for one of those congressman to come back home to Idaho? (And maybe start cleaning teeth again?) I don't know...you tell em.
