2. What he is accused of doing sounds downright republicanish

Topped off with a spritz of conservative values. Something’s not right here. Why would such a valued member of the gop team resign?

3. No worries for Mr. Rampey..

There will be a spot for him in the administration when Mango Mussolini is restored to his rightful place in the White House.

10. 1. Because of course Repubs stand on principle when there are no real political consequences.

Republican leaders were pressuring Rampey to step aside before new legislators are sworn in on Jan. 9 because the special election to fill the seat would only be for Republicans since Rampey didn’t have a Democratic opponent in November’s election.

2. Never let a Repub run unopposed.

11. Excerpt from the article for those that don't want to click on the link:

WINDER, Ga. (AP) — A Republican arrested after winning his race for a seat in the Georgia House has decided to step aside instead of facing a possible suspension as soon as he was sworn into office later this month,

The decision by Danny Rampey means a special election will be held on Jan. 31 to choose the new representative for the House seat based around Winder, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Rampey, 67, was arrested last month after investigators said he stole prescription narcotics at the retirement complex he manages.

Republican leaders were pressuring Rampey to step aside before new legislators are sworn in on Jan. 9 because the special election to fill the seat would only be for Republicans since Rampey didn’t have a Democratic opponent in November’s election.
