Sen. Warner: I’ll keep quiet until August.

From an AP profile of Sen. John Warner (R-VA): “[W]ith Bush’s troop buildup in Iraq not showing the results many hoped, Warner said in an interview he is willing to stick by Bush at least until August after visiting troops in Baghdad. ‘Following that, I will come back and publicly more fully discuss my views,’ he said.”

    No, Warner, you won’t. You will be a b!tch just like you have been for the past 5 years.

  5. shane says:

    So it’s safe to assume Sen. Warner is up for reelection, hedging his bets.

    Shouldn’t they be the views of his constituents? The Representation part of it?

    Well they’re certainly entitled to try to influence him, which I hope they do, assuming they are against the war.

    Even if they aren’t they should try and influence them, get a true pulse for the people you represent and vote that way.

    Don’t you listen to Bush? Polls (or the will of the people) don’t matter if it is what he wants to do. Republicans don’t seem to want to disagree with him.

    How would you know,or are you just trying to sound kewl ?


  13. JPark says:

    cool, nobody tries to sound like you.


  14. Jay Randal says:

    Sen. Warner talks big to the press, but he always kisses Bush’s butt on Iraq and everything else. Warner is a Senator who must be replaced when his term of office expires.

    The surge is working. Baghdad is a beatiful and safe city. Just look at these photos.

  18. Sachem says:

    Is that before or after the airstrikes on Iran begin?


  19. TheOtherMaven says:

    Kiss your 2008 re-election goodbye, John. Pack your bags, polish your resume, get ready to have a life After the Senate.
