If he’s as great as they say he is, he will switch to the Republican party.

This is a disgrace.

He is probably a RINO.

Keep voting for RINOs because - reasons!

Every Republican RINO that is associated with the Bush Crime Family needs to be sh*tcanned in the primary and in the general.

Yep. I lived in Bucks County when Greenwood was in Congress. He was a gun control Republican from the Tom Ridge wing of the party back then (I had a mild debate with him on the topic). Per Wikipedia, he basically had a 12 year undistinguished career punctuated by nothingness.

As a centrist with libertarian views on social issues and conservative stances on taxes and economic issues, Greenwood's overall voting record was moderate. He was known as an effective legislator.[5] He voted against two of the four impeachment charges against President Bill Clinton in 1998, and sided with the House Democrats to oppose Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act in 2003. He also served on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and was Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. In this role, he led investigations and held hearings on a variety of issues within the vast jurisdiction of the Committee including corporate governance, bioterrorism, port and border security, drug importation, and the safety of nuclear power plants.

I suspect he loves Liz Cheney, thinks Roberts is a model SCOTUS justice, and subscribes to The Bulwark.

THIS. This is why Republicans won’t ever win and stay winning. They love to shoot themselves and their constituents on the foot. Idiots.

Unfortunately, you’re talking about over 90% of Republican politicians.

Someone should ask all the RINO enablers why we don’t see the usual partisan bickering in DC ever since “the cleanest most secure election in American history”.

Why is Bernie Sanders praising Liz Cheney? Why is Morning Joe and Mika talking about “the need for a legitimate opposition party”, when they were happy to call all republicans racists and sexists for decades? Why do mcconnell and schumer seem like they’re best buddies now?

The RINO enablers don’t want to answer these questions, or even notice. They love Uniparty fake wrestling and don’t want to give it up....BOOOOO Pelosi, YAAAAY McConnell.

There’s a reason they are former congressmen, and the people caused that. Their words and endorsements don’t mean jack.

“Former Lehigh County congressman Charles Dent and former Bucks County congressman Jim Greenwood, both Republicans, have endorsed Democratic state Attorney General Josh Shapiro in his campaign for governor over Republican nominee Doug Mastriano.”

This is why we can't have anything nice.

I love this. Now when their candidate loses these GOPe traitors will have made their beds. They’re supporting a party that has never, ever had a president so unpopular, tyrannical, antiAmerican policies and they own the gas/food catastrophe. Bidenflation!!!

These guys have over-played their hands. It’s interesting to see the ones that have gone insane with the winning DJT has brought front and center.

It took Trump and MAGA candidates like Mastriano for these disgusting RINO traitors to out themselves.

I pray that there is a MAGA wave in PA in November, but poor Mastriano is up against Democrat cheating coupled with a RINO-controlled legislature who will ignore any cheating due to their petty hatred of him and all things MAGA.

It will be the same playbook as 2020. I just hope the conservatives have a strong ground game and have a plan on what to do about cheating that is witnessed in real-time.

We’ve seen this before, this “Whigs Flipping Their Wigs”. Will history repeat itself with a shooting Civil War II, or will all the combat come from FaceBook/Twitter/Instagram Keyboard Warriors?

No doubt Brian FitzRINO will join the parade.

What a POS he is, with endorsements from multiple gun grabber groups and a bunch of labor unions in his back pocket.

He was my congressman. What a POS.

Amen, bro

Excerpt from http://www.bucksafa11.org/2019/06/18/dear-president-trump/

Being familiar with the political manipulations of Jim Greenwood in the past, which I will submit evidence of in a moment, I will say now, if you think Mr. Greenwood has anything to offer that will in any way Make America Great Again, with all due respect, you need to get a swamp monster ID booklet that includes a reptilian category. As a resident of the PA-8th District during his congressional tenure, I first took notice of Mr. Greenwood’s bad attitude when I called his office to register my opposition to President Clinton bombing the wrong side of Yugoslavia. It was all downhill from there so I did what I could to publicize his inability to make a decision that favored a more perfect Union and published this web site: https://web.archive.org/web/20040128085346/http://www.jimgreenwood.com/

I never thought I would be using it fifteen years later in an effort to help re-establish Justice in our Nation.

One story you shouldn’t miss is about the baby body parts congressional hearing the Commerce committee sponsored in 2004. https://www.prolifeamerica.com/marketing-aborted-baby-parts-2/14/. The link opens purposely on page14; there you will read of Mr. Greenwood’s method of maintaining domestic tranquility.

It’s very doubtful, too, that Mr. Greenwood’s documented participation in a global parliament as an international legislator on the sly https://web.archive.org/web/20010706190013if_/http://globeusa.org:80/globeusa/images/Octobernewsletter.pdf did much for our common defence; and claiming their own secret worldwide parliamentary communications and exchange network might have been intended to promote a general welfare state but it did nothing to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and certainly not our Posterity.

Instead it made me think those international minded legislators fit very well into the ‘enemies’ foreign and domestic’ category… https://web.archive.org/web/19990428150801/http:/globeint.org/

Another wonderment that occurred as I was reviewing Greenwood’s congressional performance (and I use that word in its most true sense) was just what do congressional committees do? I had this sense their power was sourced from American citizens and oversight was a major reason for their existence.

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/committees/HSIF proved my assumption correct but time after time the Commerce committee, a committee bursting with opportunism and where Jim Greenwood worked assiduously, shows up after damage is done and only to assign blame.

For example, many Americans know the story about Hillery Clinton’s secret server but have they learned that government computer security was reported as near non-existent during Bill Clinton’s presidential term?

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-107hhrg74853/pdf/CHRG-107hhrg74853.pdf

Not likely, since the Commerce committee did not hold a hearing on the crimes until the horse was way gone out of the barn and it was safe to express outrage.

A technique Jim Greenwood had perfected.

A little oversight could have prevented that dog and pony show but dog and pony shows are where Jim Greenwood excels.

Greenwood’s pattern of performance continued with the Enron bankruptcy. Lynn Brewer’s book gives account of Greenwood’s scheming machinations she captured from an open mike during a break in the hearing and refers to as “…In his zeal to put some scalps on his belt to satisfy the bloodlust against Enron, it’s sad Greenwood went after one of the small fish. [Lynn Brewer “House of Cards Confessions of an Enron Executive” pg 269].

Now he is touting biotechnology and has been since he walked away from congress during the 2004 congressional election. You have publicly stated your opposition to abortion while Jim Greenwood, celebrated when Obama reinstated embryonic stem cell research.

While placentas have proven a valid source of stem cells, Greenwood’s enthusiasm for abortion seemed to over ride his sense of scientific appreciation of the placentas role in stem cell applications. Could his vision as a leader be distorted?

Has his passion for biotechnology and genetic engineering in particular blinded him to the downside of the industry brought to light by the decades long records of Monsanto’s multiple negative impacts?

As a Vietnam veteran I was made aware of Monsanto in the late Sixties. Then Roundup started making the news. I think it is safe to say if the National Institutes of Health takes notice of glyphosate-based herbicides impact on human endocrine systems it’s time we stopped paying so much attention to the globalist chants of We Are the World and started focusing instead on their poisonous reality.
