Rooney was just on FoxNews and said he was not seeking re-election.
... and it was about the DNC servers and NOT the Bidens.
It's not surprising that a Republican that is retiring would attack President Trump. I wonder what financial kickbacks and bribes that Rep. Rooney lost due to Trump that led him to give up his sinecure? God I hate the GOPe.
Word of the day:
sinecure
n. A position or office that requires little or no work but provides a salary.
n. An ecclesiastical benefice not attached to the spiritual duties of a parish.
To place in a sinecure.
When was that interview on Fox?
In a newspaper article (just several hours old) Rooney said he “planned on deciding whether he’d run again next month”.
God I hate the GOPe.
***************
Don’t lose sight of the fact that its the rest of the rank and file of the GOP that allows the GOPe to get away with their deceit and corruption. For example, the GOP House allowed the destructive Paul Ryan to effectively retire in place without replacing him.
Sounds like he's a yes on impeachment then. Wonder what he's getting in exchange.
It’s all about following the money, unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that corrupt Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
We don’t have a government. We have a Swamp.
Its up to us to drain it. We need to do our part and start voting on the basis of tangible RESULTS instead of the empty rhetoric on our side. We need to demand a lot more of our representatives. Just saying.
The MSMLSD bunch will claim ignorant Americans re-elected Trump.
Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral FReepers—what say you?
Rooney represents Florida Cong. Dist. 19.
“...said he was not seeking re-election.”
Oh, so he took the big payoff to become a lying rat, and then he’s getting out of Dodge fast. They all cash in, it’s literally the ONLY reason they are there to begin with.
D.C. needs to be razed flat and the earth heavily salted so nothing can ever rise there again.
According to his wikipedia his company built the W. Bush Library.
We really do have to primary out the Bush League Republicans.
Some people just don’t have a spine.

On Fox, two-term GOP FL Rep Francis Rooney tells colleague Leland Vittert he will not seek re-election. Rooney spoke to a gaggle of reporters yesterday where he criticized the administration, Mulvaney & indicated he wasn’t sure if he would run again— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) October 19, 2019
Traitor AND a coward!!
If Trump is impeached it will be the death of the Republican party.
That certainly explains a LOT.
Maybe we should suggest HE is Quid Pro Quo!!
I saw him on TV earlier. He sounded like he is a Democrat. Said he has done what he came to Congress to do and that Nancy Pelosi helped him but Paul Ryan didn’t. He sounded to me he was accepting non critically the Dem talking points. Said he will not run for re-election.
A few years ago,
Sinecure: si·ne·cure was discussed on FR. I forwarded the description below and some of the comments to one of our sons. He works for a good company, however there are some easy to identify Sinecures in the company.
When he runs into an idiot, our sons asks himself: Is this idiot an Sinecure? If so is he/she/it related to the family which owns and controls the company.
If so avoid contact whenever possible with the Sinecure.
Sinecure: si·ne·cure
Use sinecure in a sentence:
The definition of a sinecure is a paid position that doesn’t require any work.
