Laura Loomer, for her tireless dedication to exposing the malfeasance of Ron DeSantis' political machine.
Thomas Massie, for having the courage to publicly dissent against the House GOP's seemingly unconditional support of Israel, although I'll admit at some points he went too far with how he expressed that dissent.
Matt Rosendale, for [https://cnnwire.images.worldnow.com/images/25645770_G.jpg?auto=webp&disable=upscale&height=560&fit=bounds&lastEditedDate=1703259124000 this moment]. Donald Trump isn't perfect, and if he's in the wrong then he's in the wrong. Trump was in the wrong on McCarthy, and Rosendale correctly put fidelity to conservative principles over pleasing Trump at that crucial moment. Meanwhile, Rosendale remains the only veteran member of either house of Congress to maintain a perfect voting record, [https://thenewamerican.com/freedom-index/legislator/ per the John Birch Society itself]. There are five others with a perfect score but they are freshmen and have one more year left to prove themselves. Despite his record, Rosendale is being unfairly smeared as a RINO by Trump loyalists, most notably Marjorie Taylor Greene. This by the way is one of several reasons why I would nominate her for RINO of the Year should we proceed with such a list for 2023.
The other five members of Congress who according to the John Birch Society have thus far maintained a perfect voting record, but are freshmen and still have another year to prove themselves. These people are: Josh Breechen, Elijah Crane, Harriet Hageman, Anna Paulina Luna, and Andrew Ogles.
On a related note, Rand Paul continues to hold the title of most conservative member of the Senate. His lifetime score is a 95%, per the John Birch Society.
Only five members of Congress consistently opposed Kevin McCarthy from beginning to end. They refused to vote for him for Speaker on any ballot in January, and they voted to vacate in October. These five are: Andy Biggs, Elijah Crane, Matt Gaetz, Bob Good, and Matt Rosendale.
James O'Keefe, for being ousted from Project Veritas for what I assume was supporting Trump over DeSantis.
And last but not least, Donald Trump. For obvious reasons. --[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 11:44, December 31, 2023 (EST)
