He took party money to get elected and then jumped ship.
I'm going to be VERY selective with who gets my money from here on out. And frankly, giving to the party doesn't seem so efficient to me, when you've got people like Peter King receiving the benefits.
Yeah, in January, I re-upped my annual RNC membership, but I'm really upset with the bunch of them. And I really don't know how to communicate it without at the same time taking away our viability for November. But, the lastest action of the Congresscritters is as close to cowardice in battle as I can remember...
Jim Jeffords was always problematic. I did not vote for him the last time he ran even though he had not left the party. My problem with Jeffords was once, on local radio, when asked about Juanita Broaderick's charges of rape, he answered "rape is a private matter." When the talk show host and callers confronted him on that stupid statement he stuck by it. He was taped and the tape got to Hannity. That afternoon Hannity really went after Jeffords on the remark. Someone from Jeffords office called Hannity and denied the remark. Then Hannity told them he had a tape. Uh oh. From that time on I couldn't stand the man and swore I would never vote for him again no matter who opposed him as a democrat. When his re-election came up I didn't vote for his opponent I just didn't vote in that category on the ballot. Jim Jeffords has always been completely useless. Whether he was a republican, democrat or independent really made no difference since he was always going to vote mostly with the democrats.
I too find it hard to give money to the republican party. I don't expect to agree with everything but what annoys me is the lack of loyalty. On the one hand I like the fact they are not like democrats and seem to stand on principles. On the other hand they are a little too quick to rush out and eat their own. I don't want them to drink the kool aid I'd just like them to have some stones.
