WASHINGTON - Freshman Sen. John Thune, the Republican hero two years ago for ousting the Senate Democratic leader, said Wednesday that if he were running this year, he'd distance himself from President Bush and his agenda.
In 2004, the White House political operation recruited Thune to challenge Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle. He dealt the Democratic Party a major blow, edging Daschle in South Dakota as Bush captured a second term.
Thune, a conservative who rarely breaks with the GOP or Bush, said Wednesday that if he were up for re-election this year, he'd adopt a different strategy.
"If I were running in the state this year, you obviously don't embrace the president and his agenda," Thune told reporters at the National Press Club. He said the
Iraq war is Bush's biggest problem.
You've just got to love this. Thune is so worried about his own ass getting kicked out of the Senate this November, that he is now openly claiming that he will distance himself from the Bush political agenda--even though for the past two years he's been a White House lapdog. So I have a question for you Senator Thune. If you are re-elected, how and when are you going to distance yourself from the Bush White House? What political policies are you going to openly disagree with the Bush administration? Because when I look at you Senator Thune, I see both a whore and a hypocrite--a whore to the lowest common political denominator for the South Dakotan voters in lying to them regarding this outrageous statement so that South Dakotan voters will not see you as the incompetent Republican senator that you are. And you are a hypocrite in that once the midterm elections are over, and if you still have your Senate job, you will happily ignore your campaign promise to your South Dakotan voters and continue on being the White House lapdog that you really are.
