Wow
Quite an achievement.
He’s my representative, as well.
A complete nothing. Never a peep out of him ‘til election season.
Keeps his head down. Never takes a stand. Never issues a statement.
Supports the murder of the unborn.
When we were house hunting, I should’ve considered Congressional districts. Scott Garrett’s district is about a quarter of a mile from our house.
@!$#$%!
My long-time congressman and neighbor. He is a good guy, but virtually inherited the seat. The area is predominantly Republican, but is changing. In the town where Freylinghuysen lives, the vote in the general election was formerly about 9 to 1 in favor of the Republicans. Now it is only about 2 to 1. Rich liberals have been moving in, supplemented by inhabitants of the low-income housing mandated by the out-of-control state courts.
Rodney is a veteran, and a good, common-sense guy on most issues. He has some “Red Tory” tendencies, but at least he thinks for himself, and is never intimidated by liberal pressure groups. In public meetings, he always keeps his cool, and never shows any lack of patience, even with the dumbest constituents. I always walk way wondering how he does it. I would be more likely to take the Christie approach, and tell some of those people to shut up and see me later.
The old-style liberal Republicans (who helped ruin NJ) tend to be weak on social issues, and over the top on environmental causes.
I have heard Rodney discuss the abortion issue, and he manages to be sympathetic to pro-life voices, and has actually on occasion voted on the pro-life side in Congress, I suspect partly on constitutional grounds. If I get a chance, I will ask him about some of these cases.
