You are right, Humphrey was a strong conservative, elected in 1978 and 1984 and did not run in 1990.
How many of these are current lobbyist?
Man alive! I thought most of the guys on this list were dead. Pete McCloskey? Vin Weber? Jim Leach?
This list is a Who’s Who of failed RINO has-beens.
That should give the undecided Dems a great reason to vote for Trump wouldn’t you think?-)
I believe I read that Mickey Edwards, formerly of OK City, was an Obama booster in 2008.
Weber was considered conservative by liberal MN standards.
How many Democrat ex Congressmen are voting for Trump? That you will never hear about, if there are, the media will not touch it.
So they’re saying a TRUMP Presidency will be worse than Hillary?
Please kill these fools!
McCloskey is the one who defeated the late Shirley Temple Black for Congress in a 1967 special election.
Well at least we know who the traitors are.
I was mistaken in thinking that Geoff Davis of KY is a conservative.
So they are ALL FOR HILLARY!!
Hillary is the Uniparty Candidate.
He was awarded the Navy Cross and Silver Star decorations for heroism in combat and two Purple Hearts as a Marine during the Korean War.
McCloskey's revelation of Pat Robertson's lies about his Korean War service put an end to Robertson's 1988 Presidential run. Robertson first claimed that he was a "combat veteran" back in 1981, which aroused the ire of McCloskey, who had been shipped to Korea along with Robertson as second lieutenants as part as the 5th Replacement Draft to bolster the First Marine Division, which had suffered great losses at the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. McCloskey and Robertson were part of a contingent of 71 Marine officers and 1,900 enlisted men shipped to Korea aboard the U.S.S. General J.C. Breckenridge to serve as replacements.
When Robertson began claiming again that he was a combat veteran during the 1988 Republican primaries, McCloskey wrote a public letter to U.S. Representative Andrew Jacobs Jr., also a Marine veteran of the Korean War, in which McCloskey said that Robertson was actually spared combat duty when his powerful father, U.S. Senator A. Willis Robertson of Virginia,intervened on his behalf, and that Robertson had actually boasted that his father would keep him out of combat. Robertson, a college friend, and four other second lieutenants were shipped to Japan, detailed to a training mission for Marines coming out of Korea. Of the remaining Marine officers, half were killed of wounded in combat.
Robertson sued McCloskey and another accuser for libel, demanding damages of $35 million, but research underwritten by McCloskey that cost him $400,000 proved that his revelations were true. Rather than being a combat veteran, Robertson had been shipped to Japan right off the U.S.S. Breckenridge, then spent most of his time when returned to Korea and was posted at the safe harbor of the Division Headquarters. Robertson served as the Division "liquor officer", responsible for keeping the officers' clubs supplied with alcohol, which meant he kept traveling back to Japan. It was claimed that Robertson sexually harassed a Korean woman at one of his clubs and worried about getting gonorrhea. Documentary evidence uncovered by McCloskey revealed that his father, Senator Robertson, thanked Marine Commandant Robinson for getting his son out of combat. By the time of the libel trial, which was scheduled for Super Tuesday, many other Marine officers were prepared to testify that Robertson avoided combat duty.The day before the trial, Robertson dropped the libel suit. On Super Tuesday, he was punished at the polls. He later paid McCloskey's court costs.
An opponent of the Iraq War, McCloskey broke party ranks in 2004 to endorse John Kerry in his bid to unseat George W. Bush as President of the United States.
Wow. Color me surprised... NOT!!!
May they all be tried, convicted, and publicly hung by the __ck until dead for TREASON against this nation!!!! The filthy, venal, disgusting snot-pigs!
Traitors.
A few, maybe Ed Foreman, may be for G. Johnson because of their NM tie.
Chris Shays, total smirking RINO..... can’t stand that twit.... it is a pretty good rule to always do the opposite of whatever he recommends.
