Outgoing Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) said Thursday that a "credible conservative" movement that doesn't focus on "hatred" of President Obama is needed.
Inglis was defeated in a landslide by Trey Gowdy in the June primary runoff. Gowdy, a staunch conservative and Tea Party favorite, went on to win the 4th District seat in November.
Inglis lamented on CNN that the current wave of populist conservatism is unlike that of Ronald Reagan.
"We'll get through and we'll get back to optimistic conservatism," he said. "We just got to get through this unfortunate period."
The congressman said he was wounded in his campaign by not joining "in the real bitterness toward the president."
"I don't call him a socialist because he's not," he said. "I don't doubt that he was born in Hawaii because he was. I don't call him a Muslim because he says he's a Christian. And I didn't say anything about death panels because there weren't any in that health care bill."

I’m not a huge fan of Cromwell, but I absolutely adore this quote. One of my favorite moments during the DREAM Act debate during this lame duck session was when Jeff Sessions invoked it during his peroration on the Senate floor.

It sounds like SC people are respecters of persons, no to Inglis but YES to Graham! Or maybe just so uninformed as to confuse the two. The Democrats who crossed over and voted Graham in the 2008 Republican primary certainly knew who they were supporting. Him and McCain both.

"I don't call him a socialist because he's not," he said. Of course not. We should call him a socialist because he IS.

Old Nod had his drawbacks, but at least you knew where he stood.
We could use a little more frankness in politics today.

Thanks, KG...this stuff just makes my blood boil. Besides voting like a liberal, the guy THINKS just like a liberal. If you disagree with liberals, you must simply hate them personally.
I will admit that one now seems to follow the other more often for me now. I have lost my willingness to even consider their annoying and destructive anti-American palaver.

Well, he's stupid for one thing. For another thing, he's ignorant. Did I miss anything?
To: EagleUSA
Why respect him? He has exposed himself as a spiteful loser who stabs his fellow republicans in the back, while in the lap of the enemy(CNN).
This a-hole deserves only contempt.
