GOP Rep Torches Party on His Way Out the Door: ‘We Lost Our Way’

[eagle1462010]

Ken Buck is one of the most conservative members of the House representing a very conservative district in eastern Colorado. The fact that even he is fed up with the far right's shenanigans regarding continued election denying and the Speakership debacle is quite telling.

Buck, 64, has represented Colorado’s Fourth District since 2015 and was one of eight Republicans who voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as Speaker of the House last month, touching off a nasty civil war that dragged on for weeks. His decision to not seek re-election comes after months of publicly sharing his displeasure with his party—namely that his colleagues are still denying the results of the 2020 election well into 2023.

“We have an identity crisis in the Republican Party,” he told the Times. “If we can’t address the election denier issue and we continue down that path, we won’t have credibility with the American people that we are going to solve problems.”

Republicans currently have zero credibility with the American people.

And Republicans are clearly more interested in creating problems than solving them.

Why does everything have to be viewed in binary terms by perhaps mentally lazy Americans?
Can you not have parties that avoid that stupid error and look for and run a " Broad Spectrum " , or , even Church of opinion , albeit resting on a few fundamental points of difference?
Rhetorical ,.

Who says that Ken Buck is "one of the most conservative members of Congress?" This photojournalist from Reuters?

Once again Taz, you choose to go after the most liberal view of what's going on within the Republican party...Why?

This is one of the Republican bomb throwers that had a hand in causing this mess we've seen for the speaker debacle....Why would I, as a conservative consider him any less than part of the problem?

This bozo is worried about an "identity crisis" when evil infests the White House?
Good riddance.

 

[leftwinger]

Any time the left wing MSN wants to make a point about republicans they include the word "conservative" even though it might not be accurate. The fact that Buck declines to run again combined with his lack of understanding that he helped cause the mess in the GOP and his odd angry shots at his own party indicates a possibility that he might have some personal problems related to a senior citizen phase in his life. How old is Biden again?

The POS can take all of these names with him thru the exit door.

I suppose it depends on how one is defining conservative. The American Conservative Union gave him a 97% rating for 2022

Another opportunity for a wake-up call that will be ignored.

This guy is a SOLID conservative, and he's had enough.

Conservative is defined as anti-evil and pro-America. So your boy here gets about a 50% rating.
