Grey Lady Celebrates The 4th. Dummies Don’t

Democrats Vote In Unison

Of course, the Washington Post terms it "Republicans run from partisan voting" Fresh off winning election to the Senate in the fall of 2002, Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) entered the chamber as a staunch conservative, voting with a majority of his GOP colleagues nearly 94 percent of the time in the 108th Congress.
