Thune working against the Republican party?

From the Argus Leader

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Thursday that he would vote against the nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations, hinting his vote is a protest against the Pentagon's recommendation to close Ellsworth Air Force Base.

But he did support his party on the vote that mattered most Thursday.

...

Thune said Thursday that saving Ellsworth is "inseparable from my work" in the Senate.

"It is part of the fabric of every day of our agenda and the things we are trying to accomplish here," Thune said Thursday. "It's something that has become a great preoccupation of mine now."

Asked whether his opposition to Bolton was because of his qualifications or the base-closing plan, Thune said dryly: "I'm concerned about our diplomatic posture as a nation, and I'm concerned about our defensive posture. These issues are not unrelated."


It's funny that he claims politics aren't involved in the base closure issue, yet he feels the need to get back at Bush politically -- if it had nothing to do with politics, why would he have to get back at Bush at all? Clearly those thousands of jobs that are being lost in SD due to a potential base closing weren't necessary, John. You fucking douchebag.
