Run a conservative against him in the next primary.
Oh, THAT'LL encourage others to make the jump. Endorse him and give him money.
[Run a conservative against him in the next primary.]
Exactly. The last thing we need are more RINOs.
According to the House clerk's website, Griffith:
- Voted against the Wall Street Consumer Reform and Protection Act (more government takeover of private finance)
- Voted against the Permanent Estate Tax Relief for Families, Farmers, and Small Businesses Act of 2009 (a Democrat bill that actually REPEALED a provision in the tax code preventing certain types of tax increases)
- Voted against the Affordable Health Care for America Act (i.e. Obamacare)
- Voted against the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 (IIRC, this was the bill that can be construed as prohibiting private gardens as a step towards federal control over the food supply).
- Voted against the recent increase of the debt ceiling that allows the fedgov to continue spending more and more
Seems to me that he already is a conservative, if his voting record on major recent issues means anything. Sounds like a conservative who came home. why on earth would we need to "run a conservative against him in the primary"? So we can split the vote and let the Dems have the seat back?
“Run a conservative against him in the next primary.”
I’m sorry that I cannot agree. We need to encourage more of this behavior. We need to get back into the majority ASAP so 0bamacare and cap and tax never even make it to the floor.
Like all converts, I expect him to be among the most faithful - at least for the foreseeable future.
Wake up... right now we need people who will go up against Pelosi and company no matter who they are or where they came from... this isn’t the time for absolute purity.
There is one already his name is Les Phillip.
Have met him a few times already. He immigrated to the US as a young child. Worked for everything he got. He has served our country and loves our country. Is raising his children to do the same.
