THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF MODERATE MIKE

Pop Quiz: What Republican state senator co-sponsored the “campus carry” bill – a law allowing CCW permit holders to protect themselves in college campus garages and grounds from rapists, murderers and muggers - in 2011 but conspicuously has opted NOT to co-sponsor the same bill this year? 

Answer:  Yep, that would be that same state senator who voted against extending the $620 million worth of “temporary” tax hikes in 2011 but now supports socking it to you this year: Sen. “Moderate Mike” Roberson.

Speaking of “Moderate Mike,” SB 182 would force parents to send their little 5-year-old kid to kindergarten whether the parents think that’s the right thing to do for their child or not.  If this keeps up, the government’s going to be grabbing our kids out of the womb!

As outrageous as such a proposal is…yep, I’m told “Moderate Mike” supports it. 

WANNA GO BIG GAME RINO HUNTING!

With Republicans such as Moderate Mike in mind, you might be interested in this new project announced today by our conservative friends over at the Club for Growth…

Today, Club for Growth Action launched a new website,www.PrimaryMyCongressman.com. The purpose of the website is to raise awareness of Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) who are currently serving in safe Republican seats. In many of the Congressional districts highlighted, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney received over 60% of the votes for President in 2012, but the incumbent Congressman has a lifetime rating of less than 70% on the Club for Growth’s Congressional Scorecard, which measures the commitment of lawmakers to limiting government and free markets.

The website will offer Club members and the general public the opportunity to recommend primary opponents to the incumbents highlighted by Club for Growth Action, as well as to recommend primary challengers for any Republican member of Congress.

Club for Growth Action will rotate liberal Republicans through the website to highlight their failed records on limiting government. To start, the following Republican members are highlighted:

·         Rep. Mike Simpson (ID-02) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 58%; Romney % of Vote: 64%

·         Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 56%; Romney % of Vote: 53%

·         Rep. Rick Crawford (AR-01) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 56%; Romney % of Vote: 61%

·         Rep. Frank Lucas (OK-03) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 68%; Romney % of Vote: 74%

·         Rep. Steve Palazzo (MS-04) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 69%; Romney % of Vote: 68%

·         Rep. Martha Roby (AL-02) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 69%; Romney % of Vote: 63%

·         Rep. Larry Bucshon (IN-08) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 68%; Romney % of Vote: 58%

·         Rep. Renee Ellmers (NC-02) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 66%; Romney % of Vote: 57%

·         Rep. Aaron Schock (IL-18) Lifetime Club for Growth Rating: 61%; Romney % of Vote: 61%

“Big government liberals inhabit the Democratic Party, but they are far too common within the Republican Party as well,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola.“The Republicans helped pass billions of dollars in tax increases and they have repeatedly voted against efforts by fiscal conservatives to limit government.PrimaryMyCongressman.com will serve as a tool to hold opponents of economic freedom and limited government accountable for their actions.”

AMEN!  HALLELUJAH!

And guess what newly re-registered Nevada Republican now owns www.PrimaryMyLegislator.com?!!
