We are going to lose some RINO votes from the likes of McCain, Spector, Snowe and Collins on issues like cap & trade, so we had better find some red-state Dems who are scared enough for their political futures that they can’t afford to vote for something that will destroy their state’s economy. Virginia, West Virginia, Michigan and Indiana have 7 democratic senators between them. All four of these states would be economically devasted by cap & trade. Freepers in those states ought to be prepared to mobilize let their senators know how much of a political pariah they would become if they went along with Obama in destroying their state’s economy.

I'm in Virginia.

Mark Warner is a newbie clown who doesn't care what his constituents think. During his term as Governor, the mostly liberal residents of Northern Virginia voted overwhelmingly against a sales tax increase referendum that he pushed forward, so he turned to the General Assembly and got them to increase the sales tax.

As for Jim Webb, he's a tool of Harry Reid.

McCain will do anything to make sure he stays as a regular on the Sunday news shows. The daughter has been watching him and learning.

Loyal opposition?

What, he's been opposed to the Republicans for years. What's new about this job?

Wouldn’t that require him to actually OPPOSE something?

McCain needs a serious beat down in the 2010 primary. Since he doesn’t have the decency to retire on his own, we’ll have to show him the door. Any word on who is going to oppose him? Incumbents have a major advantage. It won’t be easy.

I’m sure AZ has a conservative state Senator, Rep, or Mayor that can run against McCain.

McCain elected Obama as far as I'm concerned. Not George W. Bush; not the Jews; and not the Catholics. If we had any other candidate running against the Bolshevik, we would've had a Republican in office -- especially my choice of Romney (my first choice was Tom Tancredo).

McCain must pay! Besides, I'm tired of listening to his tales of that his plane was shot down and that qualifies him to be Senator and President.

It many be quite easy. He proved his colors during the campaign. Now he's got his nose for far up that he's lost all sense of direction.

That POS took the spot a conservative could have had. If he had stayed conservative himself he would have blown Obama off the map. Let that be a lesson for all the other would be RINO’s.
