One common theme in this is that many of these individuals are either old/senile or left-wingers to begin with, with a few creeps in the barrel.

•Steve Bartlett (R-TX)
69, hasn’t held office in 25 years. Supposedly Conservative in Congress. 1 term Mayor of Dallas.

•Bob Bauman (R-MD)
79, once a Conservative leader, turned out to be a major-league homosexual and was arrested for propositioning a cop. Lost reelection in the Reagan ‘80 landslide. Hasn’t held office in 36 years.

•Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY)
80, left-winger. Hasn’t held office in a decade.

•Jack Buechner (R-MO)
76, failed two-term Congressman who couldn’t win a third term in the most heavily GOP St. Louis suburbs.

•Tom Campbell (R-CA)
64, left-wing RINO. Hasn’t held office in 16 years, failed candidate for Senate.

•Bill Clinger (R-PA)
87, RINO, hasn’t held office in 20 years.

•Tom Coleman (R-MO)
73, RINO, defeated in a GOP district in 1992 by a Dem. Hasn’t held office in 24 years.

•Geoff Davis (R-KY)
58, had a decent record in Congress. Peculiar endorsement from a guy who was anti-Zero. Resigned in 2012.

•Mickey Edwards (R-OK)
79, RINO who was defeated in a primary in 1992. Has been routinely endorsing Democrats, I would not consider him a Republican.

•Harris Fawell (R-IL)
87, RINO Establishment hack. Last held office 18 years ago.

•Ed Foreman (R-TX) (R-NM)
83, fluke winner in 2 races in 2 states in adjacent districts in 1962 and 1968, defeated after a single term in both. Hasn’t held office in 46 years. Became a motivational speaker.

•Amo Houghton, Jr. (R-NY)
90, RINO liberal, scion of the party establishment. Last held office 12 years ago.

•Gordon Humphrey (Senator, R-NH)
76 (on Sunday), a decent Conservative in office. Seems to have become embittered in recent years, perhaps senility ? Been out of federal office 26 years.

•Bob Inglis (R-SC)
57 (next Tuesday), went full “Lindsay Graham” RINO in office, rebuked by the primary voters on two occasions.

•Jim Kolbe (R-AZ)
74, homosexual RINO liberal who was pleased to see his seat go Democrat.

•Steve Kuykendall (R-CA)
69, useless RINO who won Jane Harman’s seat in 1998 only to have her take it back from him in 2000.

•Jim Leach (R-IA)
74 (week from next Saturday), RINO leftist who ceased to be a Republican with his endorsement of Zero 2 years after his defeat in 2006.

•Pete McCloskey (R-CA)
89, far-far-left moonbat. He never was a real Republican. After leaving Congress in 1983 to run for the Senate, he did the Dems a favor in 2006 by running to weaken Rep. Richard Pombo in the primary, which was enough to cost his seat to a Dem. McCloskey formally switched to the Democrats not long after. He has no business being on this list as a committed Democrat.

•Connie Morella (R-MD)
85, RINO leftist. Last held office 14 years ago when she couldn’t persuade her district to vote in an actual Dem instead of a pretend one.

•Mike Parker (R-MS)
(Nearly) 67, ex-Dem turned Republican, lost MS Governorship, got thrown a bone by Dubya. Hasn’t held office in 18 years.

•Tom Petri (R-WI)
76, RINO Establishment. Left office in 2015 after a half-century in “public service.”

•John Porter (R-IL)
81, liberal RINO from the Chicago ‘burbs.

•Claudine Schneider (R-RI)
69, left-wing RINO who last won office in 1988.

•John “Joe” Schwarz (R-MI)
(Almost 79), notorious left-winger crypto-Democrat who sabotaged the Republican who beat him in the primary for the Dems. Won a single term in 2004.

•Chris Shays (R-CT)
(Almost 71), another notorious left-wing RINO. Defeated in 2008.

•Peter Smith (R-VT)
(Almost 71), RINO who has the distinction of being the last Republican Congressman in the state to date. Served an undistinguished single term in 1989-91 before being defeated by Communist Bernie Sanders, who got to Smith’s right on guns (Smith was a gun-grabber). An imbecile to be sure.

•Edward Weber (R-OH)
85, One-term wonder who rode Reagan’s coattails in ‘80 a Dem-leaning Toledo district over longtime Dem Lud Ashley. Marcy Kaptur took the seat back in 1982.

•Vin Weber (R-MN)
64, last won office in 1990. RINO WillardBot.

•G. William Whitehurst (R-VA)
91, last held office 30 years ago. Moved towards RINO in his final years, seat went to the Dems.

•Dick Zimmer (R-NJ)
72, embittered RINO who lost a winnable Senate race in 1996 (and again in 2008).

Here’s hoping President Trump hustles through an executive order that forbids former congresspeople from lobbying any government office for a period of 25 years after leaving office.

"Sadly, our party's nominee this year is a man who makes a mockery of the principles and values we have cherished and which we sought to represent in Congress," the letters states.

No, you do by caving to the Democrats.

"At some point you have to put country over party," said Coleman. "I think he's dangerous. I think he is mentally and emotionally unfit to be president."

And Hillary is putting the country over party? This is a woman who has left a vast swathe of destruction over the middle east, a woman whose policies got 4 people killed in Benghazi and then she lied to the families, a woman who compromised national security with her private server, and a woman who engaged in pay to play. Yet not one of you spineless hacks has come out against her.

But will the members vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton? "I don't know," Coleman said.

"It's not about voting for somebody. We left it open for people to support Mrs. Clinton - that's fine or they vote third party or some don't want to vote at all," he added.

Who the hell else is left? You just endorsed Clinton without saying it.

Thank God these are FORMER GOP Congressmen.
