his party, guy.

Well, we really don’t know about his positioning on the issues. We do know that Fortenberry was very recently listed as the 11th most independent member of the House — most likely to go against his party’s leadership. And then there was Fort’s compliments the other day for President Obama’s Mideast speech, where POTUS suggested that Israel move back to the 1967 borders. Fort didn’t’ comment on that particular issue — but his silence has made some question where he stands on it.

According to someone in the comments, he gets about 71% of the vote when he runs, so it seems he is popular and pretty unbeatable in a primary.

I think he just did what was right and is in a fairly safe seat and didn't have to worry too much about getting reelected, if he wants to.


I also noticed in the article in the OP that he was fair about assigning blame for the problems the country has and did not blame Democrats as many other Republicans usually do.
