Senator?

Representative Tierney couldn't find the time to meet with his constituents during the 40 days Congress was in recess. Now he is thinking about asking them for a promotion to the Senate. His audacity astounds. Who knew he had grander ambitions than being a back bench reliable liberal vote for Speaker Pelosi? I hope he realizes that you can't run a campaign for Senate via conference call. We need to send him home to Salem, not the U.S. Senate.

The sad thing is that with his support of single-payer health care, cap and trade and card check he appeals to the far left base of democrats needed to win the primary.

Is it too much to ask that our next senator look out for the taxpayers of this state and not the special interests?
