“I’m a little gun shy about great conservatives. Last cycle, that’s what we were told about Gardner. So far he hasn’t voted any different than his predecessor. Neville looks like just another urban front ranger from a flakey family.”
I’m gun shy about them too. But noone ever thought Gardner was even a conservative, let alone a great one.
Regarding Sen Neville’s voting record, check out my post 6 on this thread. I guarantee the NRSC and the party establishment is frantically recruiting moderates to run against Sen Neville at this moment.
Regarding his family, Tim’s son Patrick is a state representative, his sister-in-law is on the Jefferson County school board, and his other son is one of the savvyist political strategists I have ever met (until recently, he ran much of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners organization in CO). So I’m not sure how you get flakey out of that. Take another look. Sen. Neville is pretty impressive.
I suspect 99% of FReepers will be delighted with his performance as a US Senator. The other 1% are trolls :)
BTW, I’m not on Sen Neville’s campaign or anything. He’s my state senator and I’m heavily involved in Republican politics here in Jeffco. So I’ve had the chance to see him up close for quite a while.
