Opinion of Angus King

[SWE]

Terrible in every way

[Filuwaúrdjan]

My opinion of ANGUS KING is somewhat lower than ANGUS KING's opinion of ANGUS KING.

FF. He is an independent. He can caucus with whoever he wants.

[Lambsbread]

Moderate hero = HP

[Goldwater]

Not my favorite Democrat.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

King is a moderate, not a moderate hero. A moderate hero is a member of a party who votes against their own interests to be edgy for attention-"hey guys look at me! I'm so moderate and sane." King, Manchin, etc, are genuine moderates who vote their conscience. Olympia Snowe and her likes are moderate heroes. At least this has always been my understanding of the term.

King Angus is an attention whore.

So if Collins had been defeated, he'd jump ship? OK.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Amusing.

I don't even think he's truly a moderate. He's independent, but that doesn't really entail being moderate - kind of how like Washington was essentially a Federalist, but just disliked the party fray.

And yes, I may have accidentally compared Angus King with George Washington. I hope he doesn't google his name and find that comparison, that would swell his ego to dangerous levels.

King Angus is an attention whore.

[BaconBacon96]

Sure, he's a bit of an attention whore but he's still a nice sane moderate in a Congress chocked by partisanship. FF.

isnt he a gun nut?

Dude, YOUR opinion on gun control is not the de facto "normal" position, making anyone to your right a "gun nut."  Looking at your PM scores and knowing that you used to have a blue avatar, I'm guessing your holier than thou views on Second Amendment rights are the main reason you're now a Democrat, which I find trivial.

FTR, EVERYONE in upper New England, Democrat or Republican, is a "gun nut" to you.  We really like the Constitution.

The fact I agree with IceSpear should speak volumes about this man.

gun control certainly is no trivial issue.

[free my dawg]

Attention whore and moderate hero.

Attention whore and moderate hero.

[RR1997]

I like him, but my opinion of him has gone down. FF overall.

[Maxwell]

FF, his principled left positions on foreign policy and social policy make him a strong ally of mine, and the fact that he isn't a radical elsewhere is an added bonus. I don't find his tone to be particularly enjoyable, but otherwise he is much preferable than Senator Mike Michaud or Troy Jackson (muh working class).

[ElectionsGuy]

What did he do now?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

What did he do now?

Vote against Keystone.


Anyways, FF.
