He was a Republican but certainly not a conservative. I won't stand by this guy. He had it coming.
He started out as a conservative but over the past ten years, his ACU rating has steadily dropped, his most recent score being in the low 60s.
I suspect the dems have had the goods on him for a while and have finally lowered the boom on him. Who knows? Had he thrown more House votes their way or gone over to the left side of the aisle, he might still be a congressman.
