Actually that (D) has fared pretty well. Just put down the hyperbole and look at facts - how long has he been in office? McIntyre is the perfect politician for this area - a plastic suit with a plastered smile that hands out goodies like balloons at a carnival. And that's what we like isn't it? We're too intellectually barren to actually expect or demand that government act within its Constitutional bounds, and stop redistributing the fruits of my labor; those fruits that Jefferson said should be free from government theft. But good ol Mac reigns king of that practice - and the mindless sheep dance to his beat; and then jump on the pseudo-conservative bandwagon, claiming that they are "blue dog" democrats, who really are conservative, who truly believe in limited government. Liars. Disingenuous charlatans.
