McHugh has a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 71%. That's not "very conservative", that's "tolerable".

Maybe in general, but for NY that's phenomenal.

I'd sure take more of him, especially since we lost Walsh.

I don't think it's “phenomenal” when Fossella (85% lifetime conservative rating), Reynolds (87%), and Kuhl (87%) all represented New York districts and they were all considerably to the right of McHugh. Kuhl in particular replaced RINO Amo Houghton, but that didn't stop Kuhl from voting like a good conservative.

McHugh had no business voting liberal 60% of the time last year if he wants to call himself a “Republican”. Sounds like he started getting cozy with the liberals and that's why he's accepted a position working for Obama now and put another GOP-held seat in danger.

If the Republican Party is going to survive as a national party, it has to have a national, unified agenda. We can't make excuses that just because some state voted for Obama, the “opposition” party there is allowed to co-op their agenda.
