Order to vote for impeachment prompted House Democrat to quit party

 | December 22, 2019 01:28 PM

Rep. Jeff Van Drew said he decided to leave the Democratic Party when a party county chairman ordered him to vote to impeach President Trump.

The New Jersey lawmaker appeared on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures to discuss his decision to join the Republican Party. Van Drew pledged to join the GOP after voting against impeaching Trump, one of just two Democrats to vote against both articles of impeachment.

"The party is moving further and further to the Left where there’s discussions of it being a socialist party, and I am a proud capitalist. I believe in hard work," Van Drew said, criticizing the radical direction of the Democratic Party.

Good for him and I now see a very slight glimmer of hope for our Republic.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

At the very least this is a gun grabber, pro abortion liberal.  He has very little positions for anyone to determine who he is.  Trump is telling people to vote for a liberal who only opposed the impeachment.  There is no way to base who this guy is because he has no positions on anything other than he has stated he supports gun legislation and abortion.

Just what we want.  Another liberal dedicated to Trump.  Trump promoting him solely because he didn't vote to impeach.  Not winning for the citizens.  Just loyalty to Trump.  It would be interesting to find out who this guy is and who he hangs out with.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

All I can say is that Parties which demand loyalty over the constituency, should be barred from politics.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
