S.C. Rep. Bob Inglis ousted for not hating Obama Enough

MrVicchio said:
Ahh, so now that you've been shown the issue is that he lost touch with his base, you're back to this silly "he's a conservative by several definitions including having over a 90% conservative score" tack.

And in the last 2 years he managed to piss off his constituents enough to get the boot, something you refuse to admit because it destroys your pathetic little "It was the TEA PARTY" line of attack.

No not at all, I was simply implying that there is no need to have one extreme or the other, and her and a few others are making it out to be the case. I understand what you are saying, you seem to think that I'm ignoring your point, I'm not.

Hateful? You're kidding right? All I said was if YOU like him so much invite him to your party. I don't hate the man. He'd probably be a fine democrat. In fact if he is as moral and honest as you say, he's be a rare democrat.
By the way, it's probably the 10% that killed him and not what he did 90% of the time. That and the fact he tried to tell people what they should watch.

So in other words, he wasn't "Party of No" enough?

When the alternative is saying yes to bad bills then being the party of no is a good thing. The Rep. are listening to the people and even though they couldn't stop the crappy bills at least they didn't support them. Looks like time will tell (Nov) if being the Party of No is better than being the Party of Hell Yes We Can Cram Through This Piece of Crap Bill.

Oh please......the GOP was voting no on things that they used to support for no other reason than to be the "party of No". They've even demanded amendments, which they have gotten and STILL voted No. It is abundantly clear that the GOP strategy is to oppose everything that the Democrats propose, whether they agree with it or not.
I agree with the Congressman from New York who stated a week or so ago....if you are against the proposal, by all means vote no, but have the integrity to vote your principles, not just oppose because you belong to the Party of No.

I take it from your response you can't show any bills that weren't against everything the Republicans stand for..... I'm not a bit surprised .

What you fail to realize is just because something in a bill might be Bi-Partisan doesn't mean the rest of the bill is not a piece of crap and bad for the country.
If Congress would try to pass bills in increments and not loaded with all kinds of pork and bribes they might be able to actually pass something good.
The dems are in charge. The Rep can't stop them from passing anything they please no matter how loud they scream Hell No! Stop whining.

If he did that, he'd have to give up the cheese.
 
Wow what is it with you guys and getting off somebody's point? I think his point was because the guy wasn't part of the borg, and in the end he was unlike most politicians (and as I said the SC Republicans I remember growing up) a man of integrity and he was ousted for it by his voters.

Good for them..... should happen to more RINO's..... and all LIBS.

Feel better?
 
Sometimes people feel like their party left them. I think that's why there are so many Independents now.
Now with the tea parties and people waking up, they are deciding to take back their parties by voting out people like Ingles.
 
There has always been a disproportionate amount of independents over republicans or democrats, this isn't a new phenomenon, also I thought the tea party had nothing to do with this guy?

No, you are implying that he was tossed for not being Conservative enough, even though the FACTS do not match your fantasy.

Just because you keep repeating your theory, it won't change reality.

I never said that. I think the tea party probably did have something to do with it.
As far as more independents now more than ever, I thought that was the case. I thought a lot of Rep left the party starting toward the end of the Bush administration. Maybe I'm wrong.
