>> I don't know why you support him but there are a lot of South Carolinians that plan to get him thrown out in the primaries. <<

And that is why Harry Reid runs the Senate -- alot of so-called "conservatives" would rather spend all their time and energy to remove a fellow conservative from office than consentrate on defeating liberals. We got 49 commie RATS, one admitted socialist, and four RINOs who regularly vote with the Dems, but instead of trying to throw out of any THOSE people, they're obsessed with defeating a 90% conservative Senator.

And vice versa, got a whole bunch of "conservatives" who would rather spend their time and money to help re-elect socialist Democrats than help re-elect fellow conservatives.

Just think, if all the "conservatives" who donated to Joe Lieberman out of state in 2006 had INSTEAD given than money to Senators Allen, Talent, or Burns (each of whom lost by less than 0.5%), WE'D be running the Senate now.

I did say the primaries. If he makes it past the primaries, I could never vote for a dem.

I actually like you post and think it makes a lot of sense, but one thing keeps nagging at me.
If we don't show the GOP that weak Republicans can't get voted in then maybe they will back a more conservative runner the next time around.
No, I wasn't one of those conservatives who stayed home on election day, I worked my butt off for Allen and worked the polls all day. The one thing I see coming his that more conservatives will be on the ticket for next election.
