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."

Bite me, congressman
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, I say to him
Dear former Rep. Inglis:
I hate Obama. Sue me.
The stupidity is strong in this one.
And that's why you're out of a job, bub.
The sweet aroma of RINO blood.
I’d say that he’s reached the genuine bastard level years ago.
‘movement that doesn’t focus on “hatred” of President Obama’
The ONLY movement I wish to see see involving Barrack Obama is a couple of U-Hauls backing up to the White House and moving Barrack and Family back to Chicago.
I don’t hate Barrack just his weird ideas.
We would not care where the president was born if he was not fundamentally transforming the nation into a redistributive state, if he didn’t take lavish vacations while so many citizens suffered, if he took he job seriously (re: constitutional obligations), if he could speak without a teleprompter.......
The “hatred” thing is a straw man. Focus on the real issues as you look for a job, ex congressman!
I find it disgusting that RINOs never miss an opportunity to shoot their party in the foot as they leave office. You never see liberals do that.....their technique is to switch to Independent and caucus with the democrats when elected.
I wish RINOs would show as much contempt for liberals who are seeking to rule every facet of our lives and ram an unwanted socialist health care policy down our throats, as they do for “tea party” endorsed candidates. Their ire is misplaced and is likely the reason they are becoming “former legislators”.
EODGUY
“...a ‘credible conservative’ movement that doesn’t focus on ‘hatred’ of President Obama...”
Some reason we can’t have both? :)
As for Obama being or not being this or that let me ask, How do you know? The man has not revealed anything about himself to verify what or who he really is. Face it Bob you are an idiot, not to mention a sore loser. Perhaps you will see what the real conservative movement is about when you have to actually start living under the policies you helped to institute. JERK.
I agree with this guy.....Obama’s NOT a socialist.
He’s a full fledged COMMUNIST!
Apparently this ex-congressman didn’t get the memo, but as of a few weeks ago, the death panels are back.
This so thrown out pro liberal policy who called himself a republican is a liberal rino for sure and wrong on every count.
Obama is a socialist (socialism it the child of communism.)
Obama was probably born in Africa, Kenya may well be his true birthplace (the fact that the DC Congress never did investigate his background shouts collusion of the 2 party's therein).
Obama says he is a Christian and yet all his fondness and works are oriented toward Islamics and terrorist nations and peoples and the man hates the post Christian dying America and bows to dictators and Islamic kings.
The death panels have been slipped back into Obamacare and older democrats and rinos and republicans and the apathetic fools will be sent to early deaths by local political bureaucrats, a fact that is very true and yet the self declared wise of this foolish nation are blind to see it.
Anyway, good riddance to bad rinos and democrats. DC lives in delusion and the states need to destroy the central government they created as it is now a dictatorship or this country is dead,dead,dead, Fred.
it is not his color or his islamic name that we hate....
it is his Friggin’ MARXIST politics/America hatred/jihad loving ways, you dum-dum...and that is why you are out of work, former congressman Inglis, you buttwipe you.
Three out of four people have some sort of mental issue. Think of your three best friends. If they seem okay ... you're the one!
I can swear on a stack of Bibles that I hold NO-ZERO-NADA-ZIPPO-NONE—’hatred’ toward Obama the man, the black man (could care less what color he is), the father of two beautiful children, the husband of MO—if he had been hurt in an accident I would immediately go into ‘Good Samaritan’ first responder mode and try to help in whatever way I could, be it trying to keep an injury from bleeding, or doing CPR if he wasn’t breathing...the problem I have with the current resident of the WH is his POLICIES that are un-Constitutional, anti-American taxpayer, anti-American exceptionality, genocidal toward American Unborn citizens...THOSE are the issues that I have problems with.
Stoopid RINO, this is exactly the reason you got tossed in the election: YOU DON’T REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED YOU INTO OFFICE AS A “REPUBLICAN”. It has NOTHING to do with ‘hatred’ toward a black man as president. ::rolls eyeballs::
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! Buh-bye!
