Ellmers to pro-lifers: ‘I’m with you, unless you want some law passed, or want me to stand out in the cold, or something.’
Last weekend, a horde of pro-lifers descended on Washington, risking the wrath of a major snowstorm, to partake in the annual March for Life. Last year’s event was marred by a huge SCREW-YOU move by congresswoman Renee Ellmers. A bill banning abortions at 20 weeks and later was to pass the House in time for last year’s March. Ellmers and one of her know-nothing biddie pals raised a fuss and got the bill pulled. Nee-nee claimed the bill was too extreme for her tastes — even though she had voted for the exact same language on three previous occasions.
Well, Big Government Barbie™ took to Twitter to talk about this year’s March:
Last year, she labeled these people ‘abhorrent’ and ‘childish.’ This year, she’s WITH THEM.
*SIGH*.#SMH. You gotta *love* election years.
“Incredibly inspiring to see the #MarchForLife…” Well where the heck was Renee? Wasn’t she there with them – maybe to try to make up for what she did to them last year? After she pulled that bill in 2015, Jim Duncan made a promise: he will never undermine a bill that would save lives AND he would march in 2016. He kept his promise despite the blizzard in DC, and when he’s elected, he will vote to protect life. He will honor the wishes of the people in District 2.
Ellmers is a political whore (and there are some indications that may also extend otherwise). What she did to the right to lifers is an outrage. She deserves to get massive payback in the March primary.
I wonder what National Right to Life will do in this race. If they are true to their cause, they will not be supporting Renee. But National RTL is known to be some of the worst brownnosers in DC, even worse than the NRA. The NRA prostitutes itself to incumbents. National RTL prostitutes itself to the official leadership of the GOP House caucus and Senate caucus. When it comes to the House caucus, that means Renee’s . . . err . . . ”friend”, a certain California Congressman that she spends a lot of quality time with, as he is one of the ranking members of that GOP House caucus leadership.
Will the National Right to Life take a stand in the 2nd District race based on the principles they are supposed to support? Or will it be based on ”relationships”, and principles be damned? We should see shortly!
“The NRA prostitutes itself to incumbents. National RTL prostitutes itself to the official leadership of the GOP House caucus and Senate caucus.”
What is wrong with going with the most likely winner? Spending your money on the loser is not really smart.
If Renee appears to be leading the race then it would make pretty good sense to throw your lot in with her.
Throwing yourself on your sword worked well in Shakespeare but down here in North Carolina…..not so much.
Junior, I am sure you were all in with Eric Cantor, too. You establishment types were just sure to win, or so you thought.
Party unity is the key. Supporting the party nominee is the true path forward. We must put aside our differences and pick up the banner of whomever wins the primary.
It is all about winning the seat.
Junior I would dis agree. This isn’t NC state football where if your team wins it’s on to the next game. Why should conservatives have party loyalty when Elmers and the rest of the RINOS bend over backwards to advance the socialist party agenda, but demonize and hate conservatives. Elmers has advanced the socialist agenda better than anyone in the NC house delegation. It’s time for conservatives to quit working with people like Ellmer’s and her disingenuous RINO ilk. Conservatives are duped year after year by people like Ellmers and Tillis. What would be different if Kay Hagan would have one the last election? Tillis has voted for everything socialist, anyways. Defund the GOP establishment!
Who said she’s leading the race? Are you that clueless?
I can’t believe Renee Ellmers is under the delusion that she has any degree of credibility left in North Carolina!
She has “screwed the pooch” (and we’ll leave it at that), and has become a laughing stock in this state.
Sort of like the Hildabeast, who would have us believe: “Gee, I had no idea those e mails on my private server were classified “above top secret”!
The check is in the mail, and Nee Nee wishes the hell she could have been there with the pro lifers, if only pigs could fly…………
She’s been there long enough and is out of touch with the people from the district. Jim Duncan has my vote.
chuck she was never in touch, She said that her conservative constituents who voiced opposition against uncontrolled/unbridled illegal aliens were idiots. The she paid busloads of demonrats to vote for her in the primary. She’s not only two faced but a cheat as well.
Ellmers should be sent home. Duncan has my vote
Jim Duncan is the true conservative in this race. He will do the work of the people and protect all, born and unborn.
