Good. This guy may split the RAT vote, and allow Phil Housley’s wife to steal Frankenstein’s seat for the GOP.
DemoCrats have no ethics!
RINO becomes a DINO.
The upside of this... it’s peaving off liberals.
So when do George and Jeb show up to campaign for the democrat?

Bush admin...the gift that keeps on giving.
This particular guy is a strange one, which puts him in the driver seat in that state...lol.

Another Bushie showing their true colors.
An oxymoron on so many levels.

Party switcher ethics lawyer
Demoncrat ethics lawyer.
I’m surprised we haven’t seen one of those smiling W. Bush posters, with the label, “Hey Democrats! Miss me yet?”
