Carlson: The Posturing Mr. Labrador

There’s something about a politician who piously postures on an issue that sticks in the craw. In a way it tells the voter the officeholder thinks a majority of the electorate is too stupid to see through the posturing and the pontificating. Exhibit A from last week is Idaho’s First District congressman, Raul Labador. The darling of the Tea Party Republicans is more and more proving to be, like a majority of those in Congress, nothing more than a “show horse,” as opposed to his colleague, Second District congressman, Mike Simpson, a true “work horse” who does the heavy lifting that keeps Congress moving. Labrador engaged in two activities last week which were pure posturing. The voter should be wary and take them with a grain of the proverbial salt/ Chris Carlson , Carlson Chronicles. More here .

Question: Do you think there’s substance to Congressman Raul Labrador? Or all show?
