  1. Integity above loyalty always.
    “Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” “To love truth for truth’s sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.” “No man’s knowledge here can go beyond his experience.”

    1. ​@Anthony Arnold Adam Kinzinger served in the military overseas and is serving in the Air National Guard. How is his service be considered as _”Absolutely Nothing”_ ?
      Btw. typing in all caps means you are yelling at somebody. There is no need to yell. You can engage in civil discourse, right?

    2. @Dave Mckolanis do you remember when CNN lied about Trump Russia collusion every day for like four years straight? Do you remember they lying about a kid waiting for a school bus? Do you remember them lying about the riots organized by the DNC? Do you remember them lying about a kid who defended himself? I do that’s pretty unAmerican to lie about everything under the Sun for six years straight.

    1. @Jeff V The GOP Is In A Quicksand Pool. Created By The FAR RIGHT Media Madness, That Caters To Sensationalism For The Mentally Challenged Maga Morons. Who Are Being Outnumbered By SMARTER Voting Blocks, Realizing That Their DO NOTHING And Obstructionist Policies Will Continue Sinking The Maga Goof Balls…

    2. @Dave Mckolanis Yup, the GOP will continue to decline based on viewing the life cycles of Far Right movements throughout history. They always have an ugly ending that generally requires a major event, e.g., a lost revolt, assassination of their leader, or a major loss in military conflict. America will have to deal with the GOP destruction until their grand finale but it’s hard to say how that will transpire or when, exactly.

    3. it was too dangerous for him to even consider running again. I will miss his level headed take on the GOP side

  2. Adam Kinzinger is one of the very few and far between decent Republicans. I may not like Republican policies but I respect Adam Kinzinger.

  3. Hopefully he’ll become independent or a Democrat or, at least, find another home in government where he can support democracy and the country.

  4. There’s a difference between “being critical” and telling the TRUTH. Why can’t this country handle the truth? Power is more important than truth.

    1. Power is only more than the truth to those without ethics and decent values = the Big Lie portion of the GOP. For the rest of America, honesty and integrity will always be valued more than power which is why DJT and the MAGA’s are destined to disappear and forever be remembered in the way we view Benedict Arnold.

    2. This country was built on the foundation of white supremacy (I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those January 6th rioters were related to anyone in the KKK because that’s what they reminded me of) a lot of these white supremacists and their followers, genuinely believe in white power and that they’re more superior over everyone because of their white privilege….So the thought of admitting the wrings that they’ve done, and giving up even a bit of their privilege to marginalized groups, scares them.

  5. He’s not gone; he’ll find a way to channel his frustration, passion to keep the “change bus” moving forward!!

  6. One of the only people in Congress I’ve ever called and gotten a human being. I’m never going to join a party, but he gives me some hope for us. He is a true public servant, and speaks truth to power when it’s hard.

    1. He is a WASP neocon. He shelters the racist and the ignorant he shelters the black people who think that all Republicans are racist. I am not a racist if I support a border wall the Democrats did but they thought it wasn’t cost effective. Thanks to the purge of the Bush WASPs the Republican Party is now more diverse than ever. We have ethnic diversity and a diversity of certain opinions something the Democrats used to have.

    1. Hahahaha Kinzinger is a rich WASP who is fine with giving kickbacks to big Pharma, Wall Street and foreign lobbyists. He loves wars he loves bombing countries he loves making the war mongers richer. He has a special place in Progressive Hell but he’s a hero because MAGA got rid of him. Good riddance God bless MAGA!

  7. So much respect for Kinzinger! He put honesty first even though he knew it would cost him his job. I’m sure many opportunities will be knocking at his door.
    I hope to be hearing more from him in the very near future.

    1. @user-xj3vs7br8h  😂🤣 seeing how you pedophiles get your info from cnn I’ll take it as a compliment LOL.

      Especially since q anon is a made up pedo democrat fever dream. OK groomer?

    2. @joeymchavarti The only people I know that are obsessing over pedophilia is the far far right. Not sure what’s up with that.

  8. I would love to see a Cheney/Kinzinger 3rd party ticket in 2024. They wouldn’t win, but they may siphon enough republican votes that neither Trump or DeSantis could win!

  9. Let me tell you where Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are: they are on the right side of history, decency, law and justice. Maybe they are not where they would like to be (being not re-elected) but they have preserved their honor, shown character and can walk straight up, unlike the rest of their party. They are unbroken and deserve all respect.

  10. Kinzinger is a hero really. Fought for his country, voted with the Republican President 95% of the time….. Thrown out of the party for standing up for his beliefs.

  11. I understand how frustrating it is when a Man With Integrity sees his Colleagues who know better fall in line with a LIE.
