Tom Kean Jr. attacks Limbaugh over Michael J. Fox's Stem Cell Ad

I'm with Mark. I would rather see the Democrat win the race than a Republican who is that liberal!

I knew that someone would be along shortly to tell NJ voters who they had to vote for and why.

I thought that I heard Sean say on his show that he couldn't support Kean. If I heard right, why is it okay for Sean to declare that he wouldn't support a RINO while condemning those of us who refuse to support 'our' RINO? Isn't he being hypocritical?

He spent a week calling people 'cut and run' conservatives and is he not now cutting and running?

Maybe he finally found a line that he will not cross. That's significant because I have been asking for a while now if those who 'demand' fidelity to the GOP had a line that must not be crossed and not one person said that they did.

GOP uber alles, kneel and grovel, Wet Pants, Monica Lewinsky Republicans think that we should vote for anything with an "R" after their name.

Of course there has to be a line somewhere.

I think the problem is that some are defining the line in such a way so as to demand perfection, instead of taking a more reasonable position of merely opposing egregious RINOism.

"That's why it's important to vote for him, even though you have to hold your nose and close your eyes."

Not to mention vomit afterwards.

Thinking about Kean makes me feel better about having to vote for SchwarzenKennedy in California.

Still, this is an incredibly counterproductive move by Kean. The people who hate Rush, Hastert, and Rumsfeld are never going to vote for a Republican. The center doesn't care. And now there are going to be a lot fewer conservatives in NJ who are willing to hold their noses and vote for the "team" when Kean trashes his own team.

“There's nothing philosophical when it comes to Tom Kean Jr. It's all politics," says Rick Shaftan, a conservative political consultant. "He's gone against conservatives every chance he gets."

Throughout the campaign, Kean has avoided calling himself a Republican. It is not a description he uses on his Web site, in his campaign literature or his television advertisements. Instead, he prefers the label "independent reformer."
Kean wants to maintain a separation from the GOP, given the scandals that have rocked the party in recent months, and from President Bush, given his low approval ratings.
He likes to compare himself to Arizona Sen. John McCain, with whom he campaigned last Sunday at a fundraiser in Edison.
McCain met with Kean and a dozen of the top people in his campaign before the event. Seated around a table in the office at the back of a massive catering hall, the prohibitive favorite for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination said he would welcome the young Kean into his "Gang of 14," a bipartisan group of moderates in Congress.”
