95% CPAC rating, 2024
https://www.cpac.org/bio/m001184
My objection is simple. He voted against a bill that lowered taxes and would have left in place disastrously high tax rates.
These scores are obviously not weighted so that a very important bill involving tax rates doesn’t carry any more significance than other bills.
Just think where the economy and stock market would be if the Trump tax cuts had expired.
I’m glad he’s got a primary challenger. I hope he loses the primary and if he doesn’t, voting for him in the general only helps if he continues to vote for the speaker as long as he stays in the GOP (or their caucus)
I’m not even sure that he will stay in GOP or caucus with them. In fact if Dems get the House, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he votes for impeachment of Trump. He’s really that nasty and bad.
given that we are basically in a state of war with democrats, I wish we could find a way to focus on destroying them for now and then take up internal fights after.
“””Now isn’t that sweet. I still wouldn’t vote for Massie.””
I would definitely vote for Massie and Rand....if I was a democrat.
Let’s reference another saying shall we. On America’s communist left it is often said that for them “The only issue is the (communist)revolution”. Right now, the only issue for us is the counter-revolution. Now is not the time to be standing up with democrat communists. In fact, I think they give themselves away. They really don’t care if we become a communist country. Most of Washington did nothing as we descended into totalitarianism. Now these same politicians seem overly preoccupied with things that always just happen to put themselves and their votes at odds with the leader of the counter-revolution. Hmm.
If I was a globalist I’d hate tariffs too. Free Traitors are the enemy. You can be a patriot or a globalist Free Traitor but you cannot be both.
All nationalists love the tariff . You have to be a Nationalist to be a Patriot. Obviously you are neither.
Re: 17 - I believe that Charlie Kirk would be mocked at FR by more than a few posters.
Mainstream so called Conservatives are Free Traitors and against the tariff.
Apparently Libertarians like Massie. I think that would be on the same level as getting endorsed by NAMBLA.
My suggestion is to ignore that poster. He has mocked and threatened several posters that do no agree with his views.
The ChiComs thank you for all of your support.
Wow - now that is something to hang your hat on. I mean, how many Republicans get the distinction of getting praise from people like Joy Behar?
Even those that do at times. He started an argument with me implying he wished me dead and claiming I was engaging in “hate speech” - I asked for some examples, he could present none, then said I was “just trying to get the last word” - him saying that to me when he just out of the blue hurled vile insults for no apparent reason.
Yeah, you'd think people would finally stop using ratings from a site like "Liberty Score" which thinks that 2022 was the last year where anything worth evaluating happened. And start using ratings from places like CPAC which actually acknowledge the recent past instead of just the distant past.
Although I agree with their rating of Massie, there's only so much a person can do with such limited data if they are being intellectually honest.

CPAC's data is better but the problem is that CPAC's website is for shit when it comes to navigating, and for presenting data.
For all data, this is a far better presentation:
Ideology ratings for Thomas Massie
As one example which provides more detail, here's how he voted in 2024 on what CPAC considers key issues.
Several years ago I brought up there are no longer Made in USA binoculars that include ALL US components, which necessitates buying products with foreign components. He sent me a link to binoculars made in the 1940s / etc. Multiple binoculars had problems such as focus not working, or had functional constraints (not water resistant, etc.).
The way he behaves quite frankly reminds me of Keith Olbermann.
LOL!
There is no such entity. Either you're a Republican, or a Libertarian. No middle of the road horse manure.
Lindsey Graham is despised around here and he is not MAGA. Why are you trying to stir up trouble?
I have a streak of libertarian myself but you know half of the Libertarian Party Platform is as socialist as they come.
Too bad his Useful Idiot Score is 100%.
