Two “Marc’s” to have served in Congress. One was a Jewish Republican, Marc Lincoln Marks. Marks defeated a Dem incumbent in PA in 1976, but went squishy and quit in 1982. He went on the floor of the House to blast an increase in military spending by President Reagan (at the expensive of “the poor.”) Apparently ex-Gov. John Connally considered asking him to be his running mate during his ill-fated run in the GOP primary for President in 1980 (what is it with Connally and Reagan asking these establishment RINOs to be their running mates ? Marks, Dick Schweiker, Bush ?).

Marks was succeeded in his House seat by another RINO traitor, Tom Ridge. Marks later endorsed Bubba the Rapist for President in 1992 and two years later got a cushy gubmint sinecure as Commissioner of Federal Mine Safety.

The only other Marc is the present Demonrat Congressman from Texas, Marc Veasey. He’s Black.

Speaking of another weasel (this one by the name of Wayne)... remember Congressman Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland ? He was challenged for being a squish and lost renomination in 2008 to Andrew Harris. Completely flipped his $hit and endorsed the Demonrat (who won, but just one term before Harris came back and beat him and still holds the seat today) and also voted for Zero (after lying that he didn’t endorse him) and every Demonrat to run since. He at least isn’t claiming to be a Republican anymore, so the media can’t say, “Republican Congressman endorses Plugs.” Demonrat now, at least “officially” since 2019, but he already left the party with his defeat.

Curiously, both Ridge and Gilchrest were Marines, like Ridge, Gilchrest was big on infanticide, pushing hard to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and for gay “marriage.” Makes one wonder if he wasn’t a closet-job. If he is, that means his district (MD-1) sent not one, not two, but THREE fags in a row (Bob Bauman, an up-and-coming Conservative Republican who managed to lose in 1980 to Dem Roy Dyson, who apparently was a closet job, and then Gilchrest, who beat Dyson a decade later). And to tie it all together, Marc Marks almost went down to defeat in 1980, winning by just a handful of votes and almost joining Bauman in the ranks of unemployed Congressmembers.
