Barr not true Republican

I will be voting in the primary to prevent congressman Andy Barr from being reelected. Barr has never met a spending bill he didn’t approve, including funding for Planned Parenthood and Obamacare.

Barr is all for the TransPacific Partnership trade bill (aka, NAFTA 2), and strictly follows the do nothing “maintain the status quo” party line on illegal immigration.

I originally thought most Democrats were politically lobotomized and neutered so they would only “speak when allowed to,” but I’ve found that Barr (being the typical RINO) fits right into the mold of being a GOP lap dog. He seems to have absolutely no free will nor core values. Vote for anyone but Barr; changing out political representatives often is a good thing.
