RINO. There was a water project bill that included creating a new 10 acre park. I disagreed with that, therefore he was a FLAMING RINO. Better to have a Democrat replace him.

(face it, many of you think that way)

Not me. I can’t think of a single vote where he went against our side. Probably one or two, but I just get SICK AND TIRED of people here constantly attacking our own. For example, if it wasn’t for our own RINOs, Trump would have gotten ZERO judges on the courts.

Yeah, I think he would still be the Junior Senator in about half the states. :)

The same sort of thinking that got us the two Senators in Georgia.

Conservatives are their own worst enemies. See post 4 for an example.

“Conservatives are their own worst enemies. See post 4 for an example.”

Very true. Congress would be FAR DIFFERENT today if the Republicans had won either Georgia seat. For starters the Election Rigging Bill (HB1) would be DOA, as would be stacking the courts, as would be this horrific bill. Even the earlier bill that a bunch of Republicans supported would have been far better.

But no, many here seem intent to let the Dems DESTROY this country, providing we ‘Teach the GOP a lesson’ in the process.

Was very surprised that FReepers that were advocating voting for the Dem candidates were not given a time out, as that has been a "time out" offense in the past.

They didn’t quite admit to voting for a Democrat (in the Georgia Runoffs), and may not have. It was more that they would NOT vote for the Republicans because Lin Wood told them not to.

But I agree, still worth 30 or 60 days in the Hole.
