Gordo The War Monger

Well Slick Gordo is at it again. You really have to hand it to him, he's a real snake charmer. It seems the blogs are a buzz with people taking a swipe at Gordo. The biggest question is why did he wait until after the election, after his party failed miserably, to finally come out and say the war is immoral.

My feeling is that it's not necessarily that he's against the war per say, but against losing the war. It's funny sometimes how he'll make it look like he's taking more then one side. I have to question the timing (as so may others are doing) of his "coming out" party. He makes a speech on the US Senate floor in the closing days of Congress after his party has had a "thumpin" in the last election. What are his motives?

With 2008 coming around the corner, I have to wonder if this is simply a reelection ploy to once again paint himself as a moderate. As I pointed out over at BlueOregon recently, he's got two things going against him: 1) His party is in the minority and 2) His voting record.

The Oregonian has done pretty good in term of sucking Gordo's big toe and printing stories that use the term "moderate" to describe him. Unfortunately, the only way to describe Smith is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
