John Thune has proven himself to be a YES MAN. He will blindly obey any request the RNC makes of him. He is an empty suit and an obvious obstructionist.

What Paul??? Tell me your talking about Tim Johnson and the other YES crowd pretending to be leaders. Kathleen Sebelius thinks its ok to abort a baby right up to due date, and have your tax money pay for it. Its stupid people like you who go through this world like a bobble head. John Thune is the only worthwhile senator we have had for a long time. Start reading the bills and laws they are debating and be a citizen.
