So RP hasn’t been elected to Congress as a Republican ten times. That doesn’t appear to be enough for you. I’ve got my problems with him from a policy standpoint, but to say he ain’t Republican just isn’t true. He represents a side of Republican policy thought that you disagree with, but he isn’t off the reservation on many of our key issues. Lower taxes? Yep. Smaller government? Yep. (or like too many so called conservatives have you forgotten that one?) Eliminate gun control? Yep. Pro-life? Yep, and consistently so over a long period of time (and you can’t say the same about Mitt). And so on.
was his district competitive, or do you just have to have the R after your name. As far as i know, we don't owe him any thanks.
David Duke was elected to congress in Louisiana and ran on the same platform of small government, low taxes, etc, that doesn’t mean he is a true Conservative Republican.
Arlen Specter is a Republican in name only too!
