This is a bit radical, I admit. But, given the current circumstances I believe it is time that we realized that the Republican Party, in the Senate, is a MINNO (Majority iN Name Only).
7 traitorous RINO's have effectively given control of the Senate to the minority party.
I propose that we begin a concerted effort to force the RNC to remove the offending members from the roles of the Republican Party.
This would, of course, result in the loss of control of the Senate. However, as evidenced by the behavior of the 7 Traitors, the Republicans are NOT in control! Better to be rid of these vermin, than to continue the illusion of control.
Obviously, these 7 are not the only RINO Senators. However, be ejecting them from the party, will can send a clear message to the remaining RINO's that such backstabbing and willful ignorance of the will of the people will not be tolerated.
ARE they SO FAR REMOVED from REPUBLICAN SOURCES of Reading/feedback : Rush, Sean, Mark, Newsmax, Freerepublic, NationalReview, ect.--they DON'T know that these sources reflect OUR views too??-To " STICK UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!--( unless I am reading these people wrong myself)
and yet they vote " Compromise " ?
No money for any of them--and they will all hear about it today too!
Republicans must be missing their "....." as I call them!!- Are they acting like this because they think they would have no chance in 08' and have to do things like this now???

The so called RINO senators that you mention vote with the Republican majority most of the time.
And I am sorry about this--but WHO CARES about " Most of the TIME"???
THIS was the IMPORTANT "Time"!!! THIS should have been a Vote for REPUBLICAN CONTROL!!
The so called RINO senators that you mention vote with the Republican majority most of the time.
So they "VOTE" Republican for a few more unimportant times--and NEXT BIG SHOWDOWN--they VOTE AGAINST REPUBLICAN WISHES AGAIN!!??
The so called RINO senators that you mention vote with the Republican majority most of the time.
No...DEMOCRATS ALL vote TOGETHER!! ALL OF THEM!! at least the percentage is way out of whack compared to the two.
The so called RINO senators that you mention vote with the Republican majority most of the time.
The American people AND HISTORY and AUTHORITIES on this issue ALL POINTED to the OPPOSITE of how they voted!!
----they voted TRAITOR!!
And I am so mad--I'd even vote for another Pro-Choice Republican to get this RINO Republicans OUT of office!!
What would I say THEN??--"Well...at least THIS was the ONLY ISSUE he voted against us on"??

I often believe it is a little game to play to the crowd. They already know what they are going to do. This is just a little show time hype to fool the sheeple. McCain needs to be replaced, he did a little too much singing in the Hanio Hilton many years ago. Too bad he is not like Jerimah Denton a man of principle and integrity. I know there are six more, who need replacing in the senate. President Bush needs to call those un-magnificient seven on the carpet for a wakeup call. I am sure they are laughing about the latest cave-in. Why should they worry? their sweet little retirement packages are their main concern, not the welfare of America. We need to vote for and send some real men and woman to the senate not "rino-but actually demo-commie" shells of human beings. NSNR
Why not work to get 60 republican senators, instead of working to get 60 democrat senators? The dims are in glee over your actions.
What agenda? [serious question]
Each and every one of US Reps should NOT send a DIME for 3 months to any GOP org.
Think they'll get the message?
Hey someone start the GOP $ BOYCOTT.
The proper way to go about this is to mount opposition in the primaries against those who participated in this.
I stated at the very beginning that this is a radical idea!
You conccerns are understandable. However, what these craven excuses for Republicans have done is to give the dems de facto control!
Re: Investigations: Did the republican majority prevent any of the dems fishing expeditions regarding 9/11 etc??? Or, did the Republican MINNO allow the dems to protect thier own & smear the President, his cabinet, etc...?
By waiting until the primaries, we simply maintain the status quo for the next two years (at least) - meaning we have the illusion of control, nothing more. Furthermore, unless our outrage is directed specifically to the RNC against McCain & Co NOW - a majority of the base will forgive and forget - result?? McCain is either still a Senator or possibly a candidate for President.
I prefer to kick them now and let the chips fall where they may.
Besides, RR did not have a majority in either house but still managed to kick butt and take names.
Grass roots campaigns are a great idea and I fully support that. However, that does NOT mean that I should be wasting money supporting candidates such as McCain.
Unless we all unite and convince the RNC to get rid of these dirtballs - NOTHING will change!
We have threatened them with withholding funds - result? ZILCH
We have pleaded with the Senators themselves - rsult? ZILCH
Since we can't recall them, we must dump them.
AND - since these RINO's also sit on the committees of which you speak, what makes you think that they are suddenly Republicans?
The GOP Party Platform states, in part: "We believe that the self-proclaimed supremacy of these judicial activists is
antithetical to the democratic ideals on which our nation was founded. President Bush has
established a solid record of nominating only judges who have demonstrated respect for
the Constitution and the democratic processes of our republic, and Republicans in the
Senate have strongly supported those nominees. We call upon obstructionist Democrats
in the Senate to abandon their unprecedented and highly irresponsible filibuster of
President Bush’s highly qualified judicial nominees, and to allow the Republican Party to
restore respect for the law to America’s courts."
The actions of McCain & Co. directly aid and abet the Democrats in further filibustering judicial nominations. They have violated the party platform and are unfit to remain in the party.
That is exactly what I am trying to do!!
Allowing McCain & Co to remain in the party siphons off funds which could better be used supporting REAL Republicans. If we do NOT demand that the RNC drop them from the rolls, they will be back in 2, 4 or 6 years and the RNC will BACK them as they are the incumbants.
Spending all your time and energy defeating rep senators, thus quite possibly getting more dems elected is dumbo politics.
