Yahoo! News – Sen. Jeffords to Campaign for Dems
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) – Sen. James Jeffords (news – web sites), an independent who abandoned the Republican party last year, said Wednesday he’ll campaign for some Democratic Senate candidates because he wants to prevent an “abuse of power” by an unchecked GOP majority.
“If they have total power then they will be very, very different from what my beliefs are what the government’s function should be,” Jeffords said. “I think it would be very dangerous for the country.”
Of course he does, and now that the New England Dairy Compact is history, government cheese will be better than ever.
