Running in 2012:
Jon Kyl of Arizona
Richard Lugar of Indiana
Olympia Snowe of Maine
Scott Brown of Massachusetts
Roger Wicker of Mississippi
John Ensign of Nevada
Bob Corker of Tennessee
Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas
Orrin Hatch of Utah
John Barrasso of Wyoming

I think it is time to start a list of the above that really need to be primaried (don’t know if that is a word, but it should be).

Starting with Kay Bailey Hutchison, Orrin Hatch and of course the snowe job.

They might as well all be wearing neon signs flashing the words “WE JUST DON’T GET IT.”

How “fortunate” that the Soviets selected the flight carrying the most outspoken and effective foe of their criminal system. According to some reports from folks well-connected to the intelligence community, Andropov got a “bonus” by also knocking off around 40 South Korean intelligence agents returning from CIA training here.

I think we will never, ever know the whole truth about KAL 007 and the actual fates of those aboard. Perhaps our grandchildren will but by then, who will care?

I think DeMint should replace Boner when we take control

DeMint should replace McConnell -- they're in the Senate.

Bachmann should replace Boehner -- they're in the House.

It sounds like Jim DeMint is effective. More power to him.

I actually feel that DeMint should be on the Presidental ticket for 2012!!! I hope if he runs, he will add Sarah to the ticket and vice versa!

>> I'm pretty sure the congressional rules do not allow Senators to take leadership positions in the House of Representatives. <<

I wouldn't be so sure. At least, the U. S. Constitution has absolutely no requirements as to who may be Speaker of the House. In other words, the Speaker doesn't actually have to be a member of the House. In fact, he or she doesn't even have to be a U. S. citizen!

Therefore, if the House Republican Caucus should want to elect Jim De Mint as the next Speaker, there's certainly no constitutional bar. And if his being Speaker would violate Senate rules, he could always resign from the Senate!

I just sent DeMint's PAC for Senate Conservatives more money yesterday. He's still short of his goal. I think I'll run, get my credit card, and pony up some more...

I’ve not seen a Senator since Jesse Helms with this kind of fortitude and temerity to stand for Conservative principles — even against the Republican establishment! I was fortunate to be represented by and work on one of Senator Helms Campaigns — and now I am represented by Senator DeMint. I hope he hangs in there — and I pray for him every day. I urge all FReepers to do the same....

Tennessee owes more to America than to renominate and re-elect Robert Corker (or LAMAR!!!! for that matter).

Indiana likewise with Lugar.

“Your next KBH (RINO).”

Is she going to run again in 2012? I thought I heard she wasn’t. She was supposed to quit after the governor’s primary but we know how that went. She’s another weak kneed milquetoast, just like McConnell.

Let’s include McCain in the house cleaning. Conservatives in Arizona, don’t vote for the Rino this time. In McCain’s case the rule of lessor evil does not apply.
