Sorry, I would rather have the likes of Zel Miller than Olympia Snowe.

If I've said it before, I've said it a million times... oh hell, just read my tag.

Every time a liberal republican is elected, it means the party shifts left. And once that happens, it rarely, if at all, ever shifts back. Two steps forward, one step back is still a move toward liberalism.

Not buying it.

BTW, I am not a Republican. I haven't been one since 2006. I am a conservative first and always. Principles before party.

And before you go down the 'its because of you we get Obama' road, think about this:

Those who settle for a candidate and compromise their principles never win.

I am to the point with the GOP where I vote principles first. If that means Obama and the like, so be it.

But it isn't my fault, nor the fault of any other conservative. Its the fault of the GOP and those who put party before principles, and those who nominate candidate who appeal to the left.

That sorry ass line of thinking got Scozza in NY23 (thank you Newt) as well as McCain, Romney and Huck.

Every time a liberal republican is elected, it means the Even a liberal Republican is preferable to a liberal Democrat.

Granted some of these really left-wing wacko Republicans like Snowe and Collins are pains in the butts but I'll still take them over another RAT--any day.
