What kind of district is it? What sort of demographics? Stasrt an effort to beat him in the next primary now. What else is he no good on? Maybe he can be induced to leave Congress and take Barney Frank with him. Kolbe is no kid. Is anyone ready to roll for the nomination if there is a special election? Will Matt Salmon help if he is governor to remove Kolbe? If Kolbe wants to vote to force doctors and hospitals to perform abortions against their consciences or religious tenets, then he is an anti-religious bigot and ought to go instantly. The Libertarians ought not to rise to his defense if he wants to require religious or ethical objectors to initiate force and particularly when the statute invades rights of conscience. "Log Cabin" Republicans are gay or gay-friendly. Do they want to buy off on supporting this bigotry and violation of conscience? Many will not. There are also civil libertarians (small l) among liberal RINOs who may well have problems with this. Raise hell and then defeat it in the next primary. Start now. Good luck and God be with you!
Kolbe is worse than that. Kolbe has voted AGAINST the Republicans to vote against EVERY Partial Birth Abortion ban that has come to the House floor. We put that in a Behnke campaign ad right before the election - and the fact that the last time he voted against PBA ban was July 25th - but it didn't help much.
Unfortunately, Behnke got into the campaign late and didn't have the funding to mount a very strong campaign. That, and most of the Republican voters in this district are RINO-lovers. Add to that the fact that Kolbe is the token homo Republican in Congress so enjoys the support of the RINO National Committee (RNC) and he's hard to beat.
We're already looking for who to run against him in the next Primary in two years. We've learned that we have to start early, secure major funding (we were up against Kolbe's $1.6million campaign warchest), and only run a candidate from Tucson (Behnke was from Sierra Vista).
Look at my profile page for more info on Behnke and on this primary election race that saw the IDIOT Republican voters in this district keep Kolbe in office.
