Porter takes one for the team

By Wally Edge

U.S. Rep. Jon Porter (R-Las Vegas) was one of just two or three vulnerable Republicans in the House to vote for the failed Wall Street bailout plan.

If nothing else, that's a gutsy -- and apparently selfless -- move for someone in such a vulnerable position.

gutsy, selfless? give me a break. even berkley voted against this rape of the taxpayers. i'm a republican, and i will not give porter my vote. he will have to beat titus without me and all the other voters in cd3 that wrote him and expressed our concern for this bill. this guy is bought and paid for, and deserves whatever happens to him in november.
