Risch
The more I hear about Larry Craig’s likely replacement, Jim Risch, the more I like the guy.
I’ve already noted that he’s solidly against illegal immigration. Now here’s a Risch quote on Katrina:
“Here in Idaho, we couldn’t understand how people could sit around on the kerbs waiting for the federal government to come and do something. We had a dam break in 1976, but we didn’t whine about it. We got out our backhoes and we rebuilt the roads and replanted the fields and got on with our lives. That’s the culture here. Not waiting for the federal government to bring you drinking water. In Idaho there would have been entrepreneurs selling the drinking water.”I feel like Risch could become one of the best senators in the country, another Tom Coburn. -- PoliPundit
