So the answer to my question was “no”, you couldn’t be bothered to do so.


The answer was yes. You asked and I told you how he voted. Feel free to give me your differing interpretation.

I'll also append another problematic part of his voting record. I posted it above, but it's worth repeating.

Nope, and that’s not what I asked. The post is still there, you can read it for yourself.

Cool. You can also read his reasoning for those votes.

I did. A different piddling excuse every single time. And that's not the entire list. When someone stands out like that, repeatedly, over a long period of time, eventually it becomes obvious that the only consistent "principle" is bigotry.

And I answered. You, on the other hand, have provided zero to back up your rebuttal.

No, you didn’t. You repeated your initial assertion.

You asked if I had "dug into the vote". My answer was yes. And then I asked you to explain to elaborate on your dissenting view. You never answered.

It's a common message board defense. When faced with evidence, you pretend not to notice. The evidence is piling up and you're still saying "Nuh-uh". Do you ever actually back up anything you say on here with verifiable facts? You haven't done it here.

It's almost like there's a common theme here. Explains why Massie is so popular with a certain group on this forum.

The evidence is definitely piling up that you’re enjoying this feeding frenzy and ignoring the fact that Massie has been consistent in how he bites on various measures. You’re trying to paint him as soft on immigration, yet you ignored my points about his votes on amnesty and birthright citizenship, among others.

Yep. He’s against foreign aid commitments and has voted that way his entire congressional career. I guess you’re referring to his votes against Ukraine aid. Maybe he’s an anti-Ukrainian bigot. Nah, you’re just obsessed with Israel. It’s kind of weird.

My post was about Border Security. I gave you his score for "Secure Border". It was 27%. You introduced 3 issues that fall into disparate categories. Birthright, for example, falls into the "Support Great Solutions" category. Massies voting record for that category is 33% (D+). His career composite score on immigration is 57%. Not good enough.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that NumbersUSA was the arbiter of categorizing immigration legislation.

His scored for “Secure Border” substantially relates to his votes on spending measures. Again, he’s been consistent on voting against deficit spending. But you want to paint it as if the bills were solely about “border security”, so I’ll just let you be mad.

Foreign Aid commitments. Sure, sure. That's a great strawman for you.

Won't reaffirm Israels right to exist.
Won't condemn Hamas for terrorism.
Won't condemn support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
Won't agree to impose sanctions on terrorist organizations.
Won't oppose Iran's funding of terrorist organizations.

Only Republican to oppose any of that. Most of the time he was siding with less than a dozen members of the entire House, mainly the Squad of anti-Americans. In one of them, the first, he was the only opposition. Even Tlaib wouldn't vote no.

They have a website that tracks immigration voting records for all of Congress. You can find Massie's page without much trouble if you're so inclined.

You're welcome to look at their website. It's very organized and simple to understand, for most people. Or just use laughing emojis as evidence. That probably will work better for you anyway.

I did look at their website. My suspicion is that you haven’t looked at it very closely, or at least haven’t used any critical thinking skills while doing so.

You forgot the . Your posts aren't as convincing when all you do is type a roundabout way of saying "You're wrong." That derisive laughter is your best debating point.

Yeah. Look at the first category.

It couldn’t be more nebulous. And the website lies.

It says Massie voted against the big beautiful bill to provide border security.

Oh yeah. That’s why he voted against it? Lololl

Stupidity. Can’t cure it.
