Indeed, my post had little to do with RINOism but was a continuation of discussions with czar from over a year ago.
My recollection is the same. Prior to assuming Chris Cox's seat, Campbell had a somewhat checkered record insofar as his conservative credentials are concerned--which is why I used the phrase "latent RINO tendencies". Since being elected, as I also said, Campbell has come down quite hard on the side of anti-illegal alien issues, which I also pointed out.
Nevertheless, the reputation of any politician must consider the entire record, not merely what he has done for the past year or two. Accordingly, while Campbell has done well so far, I choose to remain watchful. Remember, Chris Cox was a conservative because that is who he is, and as demonstrated by his entire record.
