RINO Reichert trying to back peddle on Liberal voting Record
RINO--It's what's for dinner!
Congress Critter Dave Reichert–R, is proudly pushing H.R.3268 – Earmark Transparency and Accountability Reform Act’ aka “Common Cents”. Isn’t that so cute???
He was reamed by Conservatives and Republicans for voting in favor of Cap and Trade and apparently “thinks” this bill will help calm the anger of his constituents. Reichert has never been a friend to Conservatives much less Republicans but because he has an “R” after his name the Republicans in his district will fight for his continued seat in Congress. Why?
If Reichert had a “D” after his name the Republicans would NOT be at all surprised that he voted for Cap and Trade, the Stimulus Bills, and the all the pork spending this yahoo has brought to Washington state, but because he claims to be a republican, Rs will defend and support him ’til the bitter end!
What I don’t understand with these Republicans is why they support this critter. Reichert was voted into office replacing retired, Jennifer Dunn, who had a 84% conservative voting record. He started off with a 64% conservative voting record and has gone down hill ever since. Currently, he has a 56% conservative voting record and the Republicans continue to support him. Oh, how their attention span is short and our standards are so low!
Their argument: Well, it’s better to have him voting 56% of the time instead of none of the time. They never even consider finding a Conservative replacement for Reichert. I guess that’s too much work! I guess it’s easier to work harder to pay for all of these tax increases IF YOU HAVE A JOB, then it is to find a actual Conservative. Is it any wonder the Republican party is in the shape it’s in???
What RINO apologists drink by the gallon!
King County Republicans: Stop drinking the kool-aid and don’t jump too high in excitement over this “Common Cents” reform act! All this act will do is AMEND A RULE. That’s it! The rule will require that all pork will be placed in a searchable website for member spending which is managed by the clerk.
- Rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives is amended by adding at the end the following new clause:
` Special requirement for bills and resolutions containing earmarks
`11. It shall not be in order to consider any bill or joint resolution reported by any committee, or any amendment thereto or conference report thereon, that contains any congressional earmark (as defined in clause 9) that has not been posted on the Website of that committee for at least 72 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays except when the House is in session on such a day).’.
We should be so proud of Reichert for this landmark legislation especially after he voted in favor of stealing the auto industry from private hands and then voting for Cash for Clunkers and the additional 1 Billion taxpayer dollars our children will be paying for in their future. Gee, I’m so proud of you Reichert for this amendment to expose the pork barrel spending which you are so good at bringing into Washington state!
Get a G.R.I.P. on your Government and Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians!!!!
Cheers
I couldn’t agree more! I just don’t understand the logic behind one who claims to be Conservative, rabidly supporting a socialist!
The key is to not let these guys stay inside the beltway long enough to form the corrupting relationships. Down right shameful watching a guy like Reichert being over powered by his desire to fit in with the party in power. He is a sell out. What really makes me ill is that when he was a cop in King County pushing that DARE crap and telling our kids to resist peer pressure and stand up for principle and what does he do when we send him to the capital? He caves at the first opportunity. Wonder if they offered him some cocaine at those parties what would he do?
Hell he is no long “drinking” the Kool-Aide, he is pushing around an IV stand.
Again, he started out at a rating of 65% and went down from there. He was never a real republican.
My question is this: where is the line that he crosses that the Rs will no longer support him?
I would have thought Cap and Trade was it, but I was wrong! I will never support any King County Republican again if they hold to a Conservative-Light or RINO platform! NEVER! And I know several others who won’t either!
Unfortunately you then have people like Kirby Wilbur who can’t stand being in the cold (outside the support of “establishment Republicans”) so has Reichert on his program only a month and a half after his infamous “Cap and Trade” vote.

The only talk shows I listen to is of conservative hosts who feel as unwelcome at Republican functions as at Democratic ones.
Kirby has always felt the need to be loved within the Republican Party apparatus (controlled by the Mainstream Republicans) and that is why I quite honestly can’t stand him. That and how he didn’t back Carlson when Carlson was fired due to I-200.
