Tea Party Express endorses Democrat in Idaho

propaganda at it highest form

[gitmogrunt]

The Idaho Tea party soiled their diapers on this endorsement.

[Frantzie]

Is this a fake Tea Party? The “Tea Party” should not be endorsing any candidate. They should expose all the frauds.

[Salvey]

Is there a chance this guy will switch to GOP later?

[demshateGod]

Is it not true then? If so, they should know there are NO Blue Dog Democrats.

Who are the people involved in this TPE in Idaho.

Why do they want to keep the Dums in power, when they have made it clear that A commie/socialist America is their goal.

[demshateGod]

the “Tea Party” is not a political party, with leaders, who can endorse people are they?

[Marty62]

tHAT’S WHAT GETS ME ABOUT THIS. Anyone can claim to be TP Member and say anything.

In that sense, Minnick might be the one Democrat to support. While his party pushed a Porkulus bill that cost $830 billion and didn’t stimulate anything, Minnick proposed a $170 billion version that eliminated all of the pork and had self-termination clauses that returned unspent money after recovery began. He voted against Porkulus, cap-and-trade, and ObamaCare.

Beats out a lot of pubbies in my book.

Electing any Democrat to Congress/Senate keeps Pelosi/Reid in power. This is pure insanity.

I posted this on a similar thread:

LET’S REVIEW:
1) The First Vote in the House of Representatives
is for the Speaker of the House. IIRC, there have only been two cross over votes in the nation’s history.

2) There is no such thing as a conservative democrat. I do not care if, “He votes for fiscal responsibility,” he will vote for Nancy Pelosi!

(screams loudly)

All well and good, but does not remove Pelosi from power.

[Daveinyork]

Is FreeRepublic.com a conservative forum, or a Republican forum?

Until he gets on the hill and is pressured by Obama into voting for whatever Obama wants. No Dem is a good Dem.

That aside, I have some serious doubts about the accuracy of this story, at least re: the endorsement.

[B4Ranch]

I will take a conservative Dim over a RINO like McCain anyday. At least you know what you’re getting!

[chickadee]

They all (Dems) give in to Pelosi and Obama in the end. I will say one thing for this guy, he did vote against health care and TARP. Tough call. Glad it’s not my voting decision:)

Not really. There were only 7 republicans who voted for cap-and-trade in the house, and NONE of them voted for ObamaCare. I don't recall how many voted for Porkulus, but I'm pretty sure it was single digits. So, at best, Minnick may pull even with a few pubbies, but he certainly doesn't beat out many of them at all.
