Jim Matheson – chameleon exposed.
Scared for his political life, Jim Matheson voted against the stupid $155 billion “stimulus 2” bill yesterday.
But let me explain how this works…. Democrats have a majority. They did not need 30 or so votes, so they give passes to Democrats in districts that Bush or McCain carried.
Matheson would have been their if they needed him, as he has before on close votes.
He is dangerous to have in Congress because he cannot be relied on to vote conservatively. No matter what he does going forward, how can he make up for the trillions he voted for in the last year? He can’t. When they need him, he was there, and that shows you where he really stands (and it isn’t with Utah or the nation).
Plus… I don’t like him. I don’t like people that hide their true colors. I’ve had enough with this fractional truth kind of politics that folks like Matheson give us.
