Is there any possibility that he may switch over to Republican in the future? Sometimes blue dogs do that. He sounds like a DINO...lol

I understand your sentiments. It would be a hard choice.

I don’t know enough about what he really believes to know. He’s loudly pro-life and he was really proud of his NRA endorsement, so I don’t know how he can feel comfortable among the Rats. I also remember some talk of him switching parties a few years ago because he took a lot of heat from the radical liberals.

I think conservatives should campaign against Thad and Mitch and ALL other such folks.... But then for decades I have been a member of the DRIP revolution

I’ve said this, and also I read he ran as a Republican twice. I can’t see him being any more liberal than Cochran

[Smokin' Joe]

I'm just hoping this is a wake-up call to the diehards out there who have steeped themselves in denial election cycle after election cycle, telling themselves things will be different this time, they won't get screwed over starting election night, that this time 'their guy' wasn't lying to them--again.

Here's an establishment 'pubbie who enlisted the aid of Liberal Democrats under false pretenses, no less, to defeat a Conservative.

If that doesn't draw the battle lines for them, I don't know what will.

Im not endorsing Childers but he probably similar to Barrow, McIntyre and Heath Shuler in opposing amnesty and Obamacare. It is a pity Democrats dont run Heath Shuler in TN against Lamar.

In the 2008 House primary Republicans were split 51-49 in the GOP primary which Childers went on to win with 53% in the general.

He voted against Obamacare and for all strong immigration measures.
