 Wyoming's Democrat Governor Renounces His Party -- 09/29/2005
As Democrats around the country attempt to portray two faces to their constituencies, one representing moderation, and the other representing fire-breathing liberalism, Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal essentially renounced the basic philosophies of his party.
In the September 19 issue of the "Wyoming Livestock Roundup," Wyoming beef producer J. Randall Stevenson excoriated Freudenthal for remaining neutral (or, as Stevenson bluntly expresses it "neutered") in response to a USDA decision to open the nation's borders to imported (and possibly tainted) beef.
Ironically, this is due in large part to Wyoming's RINO dominated state legislature, which by its own rampant liberalism makes it infuriatingly easy for Freudenthal to masquerade as a "moderate," or even a conservative.
