The Company They Keep: A Contrast

A while back, Governor Freudenthal endorsed Democrat Gary Trauner in the race for Wyoming's lone seat in the US House of Representatives. Well, Vice President Dick Cheney, former occupant of the aforementioned House seat, campaigned for Republican Cynthia Lummis (as well as Senators Enzi and Barrasso) in Laramie yesterday.

As the saying goes, you can tell a lot about someone by the company they keep.

I feel like I keep repeating myself on this basic point, but it really bears repeating. On one hand we have a guy that seeks consensus and reaches out to other people regardless of their political affiliation endorsing a candidate with a similar modus operandi. On the other we have a guy that doesn't even know enough about the Constitution to know what branch of government he's been in for the last eight years (it's the executive branch, in case you were curious), who has no problem with dirty politics, who chose to walk on the "dark side" and trample what this country is supposed to stand for in the process, and who is perfectly happy to consider a narrow majority equivalent to a landslide mandate endorsing a candidate content to take that same narrow majority and play the same dirty politics.

We've had enough of this, gang. We're smarter than this. So get to the polls and vote on Tuesday - this race is going down to the wire, and every single vote counts.

Let's do this,
