Don’t ya just love it when a supposedly Conservative publication tries to justify a rogue Republican vote? Well, sorry folks (hey you guys in the Spectator crowd), you are just simply wrong again.
Either you vote for Constitutional laws are get the heck out of this Congress! Yes, that includes you sissy Republicans that can’t stand to be in the minority - even when they are right.
I am ashamed of the Spectator and if I had a subscription, I would drop it.
Blue Dogs are in the same position, and many of the voted against the bill because they represent more conservative districts.
As in he could have proven himself a RINO on his first time out of the gate and vote with the democrats?.... No, wait a minute..... That's exactly what he did.
Smells like a damned leftie to me. Eeeeuwww...
Staffers and campaign organizers more like, or family.
B/S. His primary and sworn duty is to defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God! I don’t care if he’s democrat or Republican or what his greedy constituents may want to steal from the US Treasury. If he’s not going to defend the constitution then he should resign his office (or be run out of town on a rail!).
This bill is unconstitutional! And I hope and pray that if it makes it through the senate and becomes law, that we citizens unite to defy it!! They cannot arrest 150 million of us!! And if they try, then it WILL be time!!
I also hope and pray that we have at least some governors who have the intestinal fortitude to say NOT in MY state!!The feds will NOT march into MY state and arrest MY good citizens for simply defying unconstitutional federal tyranny!! Not as long as I’m alive they wont!
Keep your powder dry. Rebellion is brewing!! This tyranny will not stand!!
Great points
All the abortion funding will be put back in when it goes to committee. What a Rube!
If I was a Republican planning to run in a liberal district, I would just run as a conservative and let the chips fall where they may be. That's what Republicans need to start doing, especially in the Northeast.
Cao's vote is inexcusable.
Yep and when Cao complains, the Rats will tell him, “You F’d up, you trusted us.”
“What power is given the Deims ? “
I hope you’re a Democrat. The Conservative side has already met its quota for fools.
Wow, you live in a difficult district, Duncan Hunter is my Congressman.
VC IN THE WIRE!!!...
Okay. I concede that.
But part of what bothers me is how I hear the tale told. In MSM stories about Blue Dogs, it seems to be that they are afraid of future elections. They are pragmatic. They need to make certain votes in order to assure their own futures. It just the sensible thing to do for now.
Republicans in Liberal districts, on the other hand, have a moral obligation to do the right thing (and vote like a Liberal).
I see a double standard in how this is typically presented.
I would say that's true...except when the constituents want something that is clearly unconstitutional!
So sorry, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then ....
Let him run as a democrat.
I agree with all you said and I voted for bush2 as well(twice).
Good one
You nailed it. More “Party Uber Alles” BS.
“Off hand, I cannot think of a recent Democrat who acquiesced to the Conservative leanings of the district which they represent.”
How about the 39 Dems from conservative districts who voted AGAINST the PelosiObamaCare bill ? They don’t count?
