Baucus slithers out of Senate

April 24, 2013 By jconway 2 Comments

Baucus to retire

Good riddance, this man single handedly represents everything wrong with American politics. He is already in bed with a lobbyist (literally) and I am sure she secured him a decent post-politics gig, watch him decry partisanship and how ‘left’ the Democrats have moved since ‘the good old days’ and maybe get a Fox gig. If the fucker was gonna retire it’d be nice if he had voted his conscience on guns, but he sold that a long time ago. Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!

    becomes chair of the Finance Committee if the Democrats hold the Senate. Baucus’s retirement obviously puts another seat in play, but Brian Schweitzer could keep the seat blue. Schweitzer is no Liz Warren but he’d be an upgrade over Baucus for sure.

      Wyden, though a bit of an oddball, would be great as Chair (though not as great as Liz will be someday), and Schweitzer, though as bad on guns, would be eons better on campaign finance reform, single payer health care, and is an ethical man of integrity compared to Baucus. When the history books are written, Baucus will be remembered single handedly as the man who killed the public option. He made it DOA.

Beautiful morning with @repkatehogan at the Bolton Fair. Agriculture is core to our district’s economy and vibrancy. I look forward to partnering with Representative Hogan to ensure our state continues to invest in and uplift our farmers and fairs. #mapoli
