Lee Terry looks like a loser for conservatives, though the Lindsay wing of the party may find him attractive. If you support Mr. Obama, you will find Mr. Terry to be your man.
I hope Mr. Frei considers running as an independent.
Mr. Terry is a weak candidate and a Democrat in Republican clothing.
‘he signed a pledge sponsored by Americans for Limited Government promising to limit himself to three terms in office. After winning the primary and general elections, Terry reneged on his promise, saying that he had signed the pledge because “term limits is an important issue and that was the way I wanted to signify my dedication to the issue.” He is currently serving his eighth term in the House.[18]’
‘In 2009, Terry was named one of the most bipartisan members of the House of Representatives by The Hill’’
Terry appealed to Obama supporters, dubbing them “Obama-Terry voters”, and emphasising that he would work with Obama if he won the election.’
‘Whilst running for re-election in 2010, Terry, who had previously been a strong supporter of privatizing Social Security, came out against it. He signed a pledge that he stated would, “oppose any effort to privatize Social Security, in whole or in part.”[18]’
‘Terry was initially a co-sponsor and supporter of the Stop Online Piracy Act. Under pressure from internet campaigns, he later rescinded his support for the bill’
‘During the United States federal government shutdown of 2013, Terry refused to give up his salary. He was asked if he would continue to collect his paychecks and replied, “dang straight”. He said that he needed his paycheck to pay for his “nice house” ‘
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Terry ‘Terry had 19,823 votes, or 54 percent, and Frei had 17,088, or 46 percent.’
‘Terry spent $900,000, according to FEC filings. Frei spent just $45,000.’

That's why I don't vote for liberal republicans. They wind up voting the same as the liberal democrats. I won't vote for a liberal of any party.
I'm a conservative, not a republican. This is a conservative web site, not a Republican web site.
Some people don't quite get that.
