The Rochester (NY) Democrat & Chronicle ran a story on Sunday morning in its local section regarding the "new" Congressman Jim Walsh. Mr. Walsh, ostensibly a Republican, represents New York's 25th Congressional District (centered in Syracuse and reaching the eastern suburbs of Rochester).
The story told of Mr. Walsh "having heard the voters" in his narrow victory last November. He has reversed long-standing positions to be more "in tune" with his constituents. Among the changes he made was his decision to resign as a House GOP whip. Most notably, he was one of only 17 Republicans to vote against the President on the troop surge in Iraq.
When St. Paul was on the road to Damascus, he was struck by a blinding light and he heard the voice of God. St. Paul's epiphany led him to become the greatest Apostle. Mr. Walsh was on the road to a narrow re-election win when he was struck by the blinding fear of losing his seat in Congress. His epiphany has led him to act as just another dime a dozen politician, who cares only for self-preservation. Rather than being a GOP apostle, he has become (or revealed himself as) an apostate RINO.
Another "boneless wonder"; way to go Jim!

This has nothing to do with your post but much like your original quest the Gates Town Blogger has once again proved his "impartialness" to be completely false.
"Just in time for the fall election.
Even though the Town Board does not control the school budget or taxes, voters might be inclined to take it out on handy targets - like the folks who fiddled with our finances and got the town into a fiscal mess between 2001 and 2005."
Does that sound impartial to you?!? He is sending out a very clear message that is the exact opposite of impartial!
