Outgoing GOP congressman: 'Credible conservatives' not about Obama 'hatred'
The Hill ^ | 12/31/2010 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 12/31/2010 8:22:08 PM PST by speciallybland

Outgoing Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) said Thursday that a "credible conservative" movement that doesn't focus on "hatred" of President Obama is needed.

Inglis was defeated in a landslide by Trey Gowdy in the June primary runoff. Gowdy, a staunch conservative and Tea Party favorite, went on to win the 4th District seat in November.

Inglis lamented on CNN that the current wave of populist conservatism is unlike that of Ronald Reagan.

"We'll get through and we'll get back to optimistic conservatism," he said. "We just got to get through this unfortunate period."

The congressman said he was wounded in his campaign by not joining "in the real bitterness toward the president."

"I don't call him a socialist because he's not," he said. "I don't doubt that he was born in Hawaii because he was. I don't call him a Muslim because he says he's a Christian. And I didn't say anything about death panels because there weren't any in that health care bill."

Isn’t “optimistic conservatism” when you drop your drawers and bend over for the liberal DemocRATS? The ‘RATS call it “bipartisanship”.

The next thing good old “optimistic Conservative” (read worthless RINO) Bob is gong to tell us is that he’s actually read the Obamacare bill cover to cover! Thank goodness we’ve started the process of “weeding” these guys out of the Congress.
What a pernicious, ignorant jerk!

Obama is every credible conservative’s worst nightmare Mr. Lameduck outgoing RINO Congressmen. Defeating him and attacking his agenda on every front should be our priority. Oh yeah, if you know that he was born in HI, please provide the document you used to confirm this, the rest of the country would like to see this.

Whew... This idiot is clueless.

First, OF COURSE Ubama is a socialist. Has Inglis been drunk for the past two years?
Second, Ubama has fought relentlessly to cover up his past, including his birth certificate, so how could Inglis be so sure where he was born?
Third, Inglis is right that Ubama is no Muslim (except maybe in his genes) because Ubama was raised an atheist by his avowed atheist mother.
And fourth, yes, there ARE death panels in Mengelecare. Try reading it, Bozo.

Anyway, congratulations to this assclown's district for flushing him down the toilet.

Another version of "he's an honorable man".

What a class act.

Which part showed the "class": him leaving, or him kissing the administration's ass on the way out?
