He has, and it's time to evict him. A lot of Republicans will sometimes switch over to vote for something because of local politics, but Jones has increasingly voted for some of the most repugnant measures coming from the Democrat fringe. He's also aided the Dems in their propaganda wars by giving them "bi-partisan support."

Long story short, there's no logic to these votes except that Jones is a liberal from a conservative district and is trying to get away with as much as his constituents will let him. I fully expect that if Jones loses this primary, he'll consider a run as a Blue Dog Democrat in 2014.
