Yes or no IYO is Boehner a RINO?
First and foremost, I go by what the ACU says when it comes to determining what a “RINO” is, whatever a RINO happens to be in your world. What’s a RINO? Oh wait, don’t engage central in intellectual arguments...right. Forgot about that one. Let the hilarity ensue....
Anyway, ACU has him at 94.3 lifetime and a 100% for 2010 alone (he was also 96% in 2009). Therefore, by the ratings (which is far more important than your UNINFORMED OPINION), he’s more conservative than you, he’s more conservative than most of the Republican Congress on average too.
But LOOKING AT HIS DISTRICT (which is important in the REALITY which everyone by you lives in), he’s likely about as conservative a congresscritter as you are going to get from the district that encompasses what’s left of the west suburbs of Dayton.
My rep is Austria. He picked it up in 2010 finally and no numbnuts I didn’t vote for him either even though he’s about as conservative as we can hope for given what is in his district. I don’t really have an opinion about Boehner as a Rep other than to say I wish someone else was Speaker.
BTW who is YOUR rep? My guess is either Bobby Scott or Jim Moran, since you line up with them quite well LOL
