I understand your position, but there are a number of problems with it. First of all, this was an absolutely horrible bill, it is antithetical to our freedoms. It is about the government’s attempts to nationalize 1/7th of our economy, dangerously Marxist. In supporting this, Cao, who fled a Marxist country ostensibly to find “Freedom”, has voted for something that he sought to escape. It’s offensive in that regard.
Also, pandering left does not earn a Republican anything. It destroys any credibility they have with the GOP base, and they become a useful idiot for the Democrat/Left, and they are then quickly deposed for their (Dems) favored candidate at the next election and are quickly forgotten. Cao could vote 100% liberal and it would NOT save him in this district. So he has now not only assured his defeat (because Republicans will not support him, and Black Dems want a Black Dem), he has killed any political future he has in Louisiana that might’ve been winnable for him (statewide office). He not only disemboweled our freedoms, he slit his own throat. I have no sympathy for someone who does that, he has rightly earned our enmity.
We last held that district from 1889-1891. It was the last GOP held district in the state until Dave Treen won 82 years later in the 3rd (actually, Treen almost beat Hale Boggs in this 2nd).
My first question now when I approach IL politics isn’t “How Conservative are they ?” it is, “Are they a Combiner ?” If they’re a Combiner, I can’t endorse them in good conscience, regardless of how Conservative they claim to be. Being a Combiner tells me you have no problem making common-cause with corruption.
Yeah. McKenna is a conservative. And combine superscum.
Then go door to door and tell her story and show the treason that is taking place in the White House and in the Congress. Those that don’t want to be euthanized by the death panels of Hitler Pelosi et al. may back her.
