Ví dụ
Santini was elected to Congress (quốc hội Mỹ) in 1974 and soon became known as a moderate (người ôn hòa) to conservative Democrat not afraid to buck his own party. He became what was known at the time as a “Boll Weevil” Democrat, even supporting President Reagan’s tax cuts in 1981.

He’d served in Congress as a “boll weevil” Democrat in the mold of Phil Gramm, winning his seat in 1978 against George W. Bush — the only election Dubya was to ever lose.

He became what was known as a Boll Weevil Democrat. When Ronald Reagan got elected, President Reagan called a number of the Boll Weevils to the White House and asked if they would support his economic plan, but he only asked one to carry the Reagan tax cut which really began the renaissance (phục hưng) of America, and that young man was Congressman Kent Hance of the 19th Congressional District.
