Where’s all the preaching now about how we are all on the same team. If guys like Amash get booted from the party, this party is no longer for me. I think the GOP has a death wish right now.
Whigs < GOP < ??
Amash could be better but he could also be Fred Upton.
The GOPe is also pushing a hand picked candidate against Kerry Bentivolio.
Where's all that preaching from the "Tea Party" activists about how "we've had enough career politicians, its time for him to go or be pushed" and "No incumbent is entitled to a third term" and "He talks a good game at election time but he reaches across the aisle to vote with his Democrat pals, and his voting record has been trending downward. We can do better"?
They've sure been LOUDLY preaching that stuff against other incumbent Republicans (Enzi, Roberts, etc.) who are far MORE conservative than Amash has ever been. Yet apparently all their preaching about how all Washington incumbents are evil and NEED to be challenged goes out the window if it's some nutty Paulbot who talks a good game how he's anti-establishment our savior. Funny how it works that way.

Amash votes with Nancy Pelosi more than any other Michigan Republican, and will claim he "had to" support the RATs on far-left stuff like abortion for gender selection, opposing the keystone pipeline, etc., for "constitutional" reasons. If you actually agree with his votes and think all Republicans should follow his lead, I'd say the GOP was never for you. If I wanted guys who voted like Amash, I'd just vote for the official RAT than the unofficial one who makes up BS excuses for his liberal record.
