Forget it. Here in Maine there aren't enough conservatives to defeat her in the primary.

As I've said before, the idea isn't to get rid of RINO's, but to marginalize them when we get a majority. We need her and Collins, because the alternative is MARX and LENIN. After all, they may vote wrong 50% of the time, but they vote right 50%, too.

Let's vote in as many conservatives where we can, especially from conservative states. Unfortunately, Maine is no longer conservative in national races.

Actually there are, but they would need a two-person race and a strong candidate as standard-bearer.

A great part of the problem conservatives have had in Maine is a lack of good candidates to lead the way. LePage is a miracle.

then may I suggest that Maine elects another slightly more conservative RINO. That way Snow loses her seniority status and RINOs realize that they may be there for only a limited time.

As conservatives we should muck up the works as much as possible for the progressives.

My desire would be that each RINO, especially feel the sting of the conservatives, even if it means a marginally more conservative person. If given a choice between a RINO with seniority or a RINO freshman, then I'm for getting rid of every single "senior" legislative "giant" that we have on our team that is a RINO.

I think we should spread the word and just show the solons feeding at the Republican trough that we would appreciate it if you voted as Republicans as opposed to reaching across the aisle and stabbing us in the back.

If Maine wants Dems, why don’t they just vote for them. Rinos are not the way to go.

According to the poll 70% of the Maine GOP are conservatives, 30% are moderates. The fact that you don’t hear about the conservatives is due to the media, not reality.
