New Year – New Smith or Same Say Anything Senator?

The new year brought back old concerns for Gordon Smith.

Progressive blogger and political consultant Kari Chisholm asked if Smith’s New Year’s resolutions include honesty, accuracy, standing up to President Bush and voting to get our troops home:

“Will he resolve to campaign honestly this year, unlike he did in 2002?

Will he stop contradicting himself and bending the facts? (In the last six months, both of Oregon's largest newspapers (the O and the R-G) have criticized Smith for trying to bamboozle Oregonians.)

Will he stop voting 90 percent of the time with President Bush?

Will he actually work to get our troops out of Iraq? We're now more than one year after Smith said he would oppose the war. Yet, unlike Ron Wyden, Smith continues voting to keep troops in Iraq and prolong the Iraq War.”
(Kari Chisholm, Blue Oregon, 1-1-08)

Do you think the Say Anything Senator will follow any of these resolutions in the new year?

Or, will Smith continue to contradict himself, bend facts, support Bush and keep troops in Iraq?
