Unflinching support for the NRA to the detriment of public safety
Unflinching support for the nations Police Departments to the detriment of public safety
Unflinching support for the Military to the detriment of the public good
Unflinching support for "Profit above all else" to the detriment of the public good
Unflinching support for lowering the highest marginal tax rate to the detriment of public good
Unflinching support for antagonistic foreign policy to the detriment of international relations
Unflinching support for the Religiously motivated voter to the detriment of the public good and specifically, Women's Health
Unflinching support for an outdated and mean spirited, anti worker law to the detriment of the middle class (The Taft-Hartley Act)
