Should be a safe Republican seat, no?
I’m sure he’ll be eking out subsistence living on the miserable pension he voted for himself. Oh wait...
He’s smart, understands economics, and was good once upon a time....at one point, but then went domestic......good to see him go.
Spencer Stab-us in the Back-us. Good riddance.
It would be nice if more congress critters retired at age 65, which used to be the standard for the hoi polloi until the ObaMao economy made it nigh unto impossible.
was he the health care abortion guy?
Good. Get that RINO out of there. Let’s get us a real Tea Party, Ted-Cruz conservative in this state.
Speaking as 1 who resides in Bachus’ AL-6 and has voted FOR him 6 times, I am not sorry to see him leave. I just worry about who in the GOP will run to fill his seat. I voted against Bachus in the last primary. The word here in AL is that he received huge amounts of campaign donations from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Bachus’ ACU (American Conservative Union) lifetime rating (22 years) was 91.48 - not bad. But Bachus just wasn’t a fighter and has based upon public statements has gone squishy on conservative issues like gun control and immigration reform.
That rush of wind down I-65 you just felt was Parker Griffith moving to Birmingham.
Cook PVI R+28.
Impossible to elect a Dim in this district unless the Republican is caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
There are a lot of RINOs in the South, and that should not be. Bachus wasn’t really one to begin with, but he “grew” in office. Lots of Southern RINOs in the Senate, too. I hope the winds are changing.
Don’t let the doorknob hit ya, Spencer.
