This thing gets curiouser and curiouser.

Pete McCloskey

[Savage Rider]

Nothing quite like outsiders messing in our business to get a Texan's back up. Who Sugarland elects as their representative is Sugarland's business. How the House Republicans structure their leadership is their business.

I've heard enough. Nothing to see here folks.

[firewalk]

McCloskey, who was known as a party maverick and endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004.

...

[Clemenza]

RINO. Also resembles a pedophile priest who got busted a few years back.

""It takes guts to challenge him," said McCloskey, who was known as a party maverick and endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004."

This tells me all I need to know about this human pile of garbage. If he had not endorsed Bush and either not voted or voted for anyone else other then Kerry then maybe he could be considered a Republican. This just shows that the "Moderate Republicans" are nothing more then Libs infiltrating the party. They will do to the Republican Party what the Queer "Priests" & "Ministers" are doing to the Churches.

[Seeking the truth]

This clown supported Kerry in 2004...sure, I'll listen to anything he has to say.

Freep Stuff, Pajama Patrol Stuff...lots of other stuff too!

[ErnBatavia]

Pete McCloskey has always been a certifiable whack job.

[EagleUSA]

And who said Washington is not TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL ?? I have never seen such back-stabbing, betrayal, lack of support...and now the Repub veterans are easily bought by the DNC ???

[kingattax]

isn't that amazing ?

[kingattax]

Tessio doesn't like him either.

[Clemenza]

THAT McCloskey was played by the great Sterling Hayden. A crooked cop or traitorous politician deserve the same treatment, however.

[Clemenza]

bttt

[E. Pluribus Unum]

RINOs as far as the eye can see.

Evidently they still haven't figured out which way the wind is blowing, in spite of all the evidence.

---Former Rep. Pete McCloskey, whose eight terms in Congress ended before DeLay arrived in 1984---

How time flies-it seems like only yesterday one could count on this pest to side with the Demotraitors--

[demlosers]

Twins McDermott and McCloskey. There must be something to looking alike and acting alike.

[kingattax]

McCrazy is McCloskey's legacy

[tahotdog]

"It takes guts to challenge him," said McCloskey, who was known as a party maverick and endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004.

But, he said, he and moderate allies are embarrassed by the controversies surrounding DeLay...

And he's not embarassed for having endorsed John the F'ing gigolo Kerry??????

Any reason why any rational person should care what this clown thinks?

[kingattax]

must be something about these "Mc" named wackos.

McCain....McDermott....McCloskey....think about it
