He also is a Ron Paul supporter and Right to Life condemns him for voting "present" on de-funding Planned Parenthood. They rate him the 7th worst House member on pro-life issues.
He's fooling conservatives with his "maverick" routine. In reality, he's a mixed up dude.
Did you look at the reasons for his votes? It’s certainly not because he’s liberal. He is pro-life and voted against sex selective abortion ban because it wasn’t even a proposal that would stop abortions and you need to look at his rationale for voting no on the PP defunding. Come on, you have to look below the surface on these things.

There are no excuses for Amash’s votes, despite the best efforts of the Apaulogists.
Amash is conservative when it is safe to be so. He likes to pad his maverick independent creds by voting present and voting against the GOP whenever the vote is not close.
He is Conservative on guns but like you said, when it comes to islam, he works hard to come up with excuses to not be anti islam. I asked him about banning the berkha like it has been recently done in France and he went extremely on the offense about against that idea.
He likes to court the Tea Party, in fact was the only politician in Grand Rapids to speak at the first Tea Party meeting there.
IN this case I believe its right what he says.....The Gop voted for this crap and now they want to blame odumbi. NOW, Rand Paul, is much better. Maybe Amash needs a Challenger in Grand Rapids.
