Pretty much killed Chaffetz's career, too. And it was enviros, not sportsmen, who raised Cain about the disposal legislation. The Greens have pretty good mass-messaging infrastructure, paid for by the billionaire foundations, and Chaffetz learned that the hard way. It paralyzed his office. I heard through the Utah grapevine that out of a sample of 200 messages that could be identified with a sender, not one of those senders ever donated to Chaffetz's campaign, and only a third were actually from Utah, even fewer from his district.
But that's the reality of politics today, and no wonder nobody with a spine ever sticks around long. Gowdy, for example.
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.
