Voted YES on implementing CAFTA for Central America free-trade. (Jul 2005)
No term limits; they throw away the good with the bad. (Jan 2000)
Supports term limits on Congress. (Jul 1998)
-(now those 2 are funny: don’t limit senators, but limit congressmen, principles and convictions you say?)
Voted YES on allowing some lobbyist gifts to Congress. (Mar 2006)
Voted NO on banning more types of Congressional gifts. (Jul 1995)
Supports ban on certain assault weapons. (Aug 1999)

Here’s where I like his stance:
