Accusing Deal of what? My Goodness, what do you imagine he was doing when he was an elected Democrat? He certainly wasn’t in the Republican caucus!
I am very frustrated as I try to communicate with you. You were arguing that Deal was a RINO (Republican IN NAME ONLY) because he was member of the Democrat caucus!... IF you were referring to the 2+ years when he WAS a Democrat - how does that make him a RINO???? You cannot be a Republican in Name ONLY if you are an elected Democrat!!!
He was the most conservative Democrat from Ga. and therefore switched parties... since switching parties he has been given a 90% rating from American Conservative Union since 1996!
He has been elected *overwhelmingly* from a VERY Conservative district (Cook Partisan Voting Record of R+28.... the THIRD most Republican District in the ENTIRE NATION!!!
Last time he ran in this CONSERVATIVE District he won with 77% of the vote.
If you insist on calling him a RINO then you go right ahead.... you don't live in Georgia anyway - why are you spending all this time disagreeing with people who actually live here and know his record. I will not respond to you again as I think it is fruitless. I am only posting this in case someone else reads your posts and is misinformed by them.
