So-called “radical centrist” Mark Warner, and his faithful Senate sidekick Jim Webb, kicked off the New Year by voting to raise taxes [1] yesterday.
This is “Change” – change from the fake “fiscal conservative” mask that Democrats wear to get elected. I’m looking all over the place for my Mark Warner campaign material where he said “I will raise taxes in the middle of a recession” but for some reason, I just can’t find it.
Mark Warner before [2] Election Day: ““I couldn’t imagine as a business guy that I would dismiss ideas because they have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ attached to them.”
Mere coincidence then that vote after vote on amendment after amendment, if an R sponsored it, Warner voted against it. If a D sponsored it, Warner voted for it.
What’s so radically centrist about that?
