Gregg was nominated to the Obama cabinet? I didn’t realize he was guilty of anything.

Prolly the only one Oblahblah could find who paid his taxes.

That guy you mentioned in post #41 – Who was he?

The squishy might grow a spine if they see some RINOs defeated.

Is that the message the “squishy” are getting? Or is the message to be more like the democrats who are defeating them?

“If McCain runs again, I will find out if he has a primary challenger and send money.”

That’s the time for this, in the primaries.

I’d say we’re down to about six hardcore RINOs now, about six who are solid, and the rest, like Cornyn, usually good but occasionally squishy.

Once we weed out the “squishy” then what? Do we clone the non Rino’s?

The squishy might grow a spine if they see some RINOs defeated. I know as well as anyone no rock-ribbed Republican will ever be elected from Maine or Massachusetts, and a RINO is the best we can get, but there is no excuse for South Carolina or Arizona to have RINOs.

If McCain runs again, I will find out if he has a primary challenger and send money. Ditto Specter. Graham has a fresh six years, but I won’t forget.

What do you propose as an acceptable solution? You never say that, do you troll boy?

To start we should be pestering the hell out of the senate to stop this stimulus bill. I have posted that all over this site you stupid #@&%. We may not actually stop it but it will get people introduced to getting involved.

I do believe in choosing the lesser of two evils, and held my nose and voted for the RINO.

Because Obama was just that bad.

He is. He really is.

People here are happy about power given over to the hard left

That is crap, Bill and you know it. Your sarcasm is out of bounds on this one.

It wasn’t sarcasm rumba; Look at this thread. We are in the process of losing the filibuster and people, from the hostess on down are pleased to see another “RINO” go. When peoples options for action diminish usually they aren’t happy about it.

We know YOUR goal is R’s – most of the people here have the goal of conservatism

So are the democrats going to take care of that for you? Obama Reid and Pelosi have almost unchecked power. Harry Reid is quite literally a traitor to the USA, he has gotten Americans killed for nothing more than his own political gain. He now has complete control of the senate and folks here seem to think that is OK because we are getting closer to our conservative Utopia somehow.
The business plan looks like: Disaster + Disarray + Infighting = Conservative Utopia. If I am missing something please let me know.

You come across as someone who puts party ahead of any consideration of policy or ideology.

I see one as essential to the other. Perhaps you can tell me how a conservative agenda can be advanced under a Reid, Pelosi Obama trifectorate
with only a few powerless nonrinos to oppose them?

What are we learning in this classroom?

“Just a reminder folks. Some of us truly believe this way”

That’s great family man. The thing is; we are not fighting. We are rationalizing rolling over as a “principled” stand.

Because Obama was just that bad.

And if we don’t fix the open primaries, the Dems and Independents will pick another RINO for us in 2012. That should be Chairman Steele’s first job.

I’m a little slow this morning.

Sadly, in the Northeast, no real conservative Republican can get elected, and having someone that votes the right way 50% of the time but caucuses with the GOP (such that they can be the majority party, appoint the committee chairs, set the agenda) is better than a Demonrat holding the seat. The one exception, Lincoln Chafee, who was such a RINO, was so obviously a Democrat, well, a Demonrat holding his seat isn’t much worse.

Santorum wasn’t too bad, he got defeated by the pretend to be pro-Life but vote for Brown and Black Baby Abortions Bob Casey, Jr.

There are some Congressional districts in rural areas where a real Republican can win in the Northeast, but for statewide office, with the big cities full of limousine liberals and welfare recipients, it is difficult. California is approaching that. The very RINO Scharzenegger is probably as conservative a statewide politician that can get elected. California is full of good people in districts near San Diego and in some of the vallies, but again, the moonbat cities drown them out.

So, realistically, we sort of need RINOs when we have small majorities, but there is no excuse for RINOs from what should be reasonably conservative states like South Carolina, Arizona, Idaho or Utah. No excuse for that at all.

Up here its deer and moose.

Gotcha. In Ark. it’s those who have crossed the Texas border, migrating north (wink, wink).
