Fearing Bipartisanship

By Kleinheider Posted on August 11, 2008 at 7:02 am

Jama Oliver hopes that newly minted congressman Phil Roe does not go to Washington with the intention of working in too bipartisan a fashion:

I didn’t vote for Davis this year. It’s not, however, that I think Davis was such a terrible legislator, it’s just that we have some fundamental differences in belief on how the Federal government should be run.

What sort of legislator will Roe be (assuming that he wins in November, which is probably a given in this district…)? I don’t know. I just hope that he doesn’t “work across the aisle” in the standard sense of the phrase, or we might as well go ahead and vote for Democrat Rob Russell and be done with it…
