I don’t think it will hurt us, but it’s kind of naive to say there’s no revolt. I live in Florida, and just saw Bill McCollum - with every major Republican state and nationwide - lose to Rick Scott, whose healthcare company was fined $1.7 billion in fraud while he was CEO.
It’s not like McCollum is a RINO. He was a true conservative who was instrumental in the Clinton impeachments. But voters for some reason want every incumbent out, even when they don’t deserve it.
He is one of the good ol boys. We are not like black democrats. Bush and company raised taxes and grew government
There were quite a few Freepers who blasted him last week or a couple if weeks ago
I agree that McCollum is not the bad guy and I wouldnt consider him a full-fledged “RINO” that guys like Crist or McCain are. But he has been a politician for over 20 years. So he became a casulty of the current environment of angry voters wanting new blood at all levels of the government who are promising to shake thing up.
McCollum’s flip-flopping on immigration and running a very negative campaign also hurt him immensely.
His first reaction to the Arizona immigration law was that we dont need that in Florida. Then he did a 180 and said he did support it. And when just a few weeks ago he proposed a law that he claims is every more strict than Arizona’s. That looks really shady to do that kind of turnaround.
Left-winged smears. Beat it. Run back to DU where you come from troll.
