Don Progreba, Democrat, does not seem to understand why it is important for a politician to fight for the things he believes in while holding office.
Jimmy Carter turned out to be quite a man of peace, after leaving office. Al Gore turned green, after leaving office. Bill Clinton became a professional liberal, after leaving office.
At least Republicans like Conrad Burns and George W. Bush have the decency to remain the right wing hacks they were while in office, after leaving office.
