Tea for Three?
Yesterday, CFIF Senior Fellow Troy Senik described the different approaches Senators Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) are taking toward their state’s Tea Party movements. Hatch is accommodating while Lugar is dismissive.
Count Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) in the Hatch camp. The Maine moderate is raising the eyebrow of one home-state commentator by giving a lengthy response to questions about opposing Sharia law, repealing ObamaCare, increasing the debt ceiling, and Social Security spending, among other issues.
Snowe should get credit for answering those questions publicly and in-depth. Time will tell if it helps her win another term in 2012.
