Look no further at all our problems than this group. Until we kick them out kicking and screaming this party is dead.
Check out the website it will make any conservative angry.

You want to look at everything that has gone wrong in the last 5 years look at this group. They are traitors to our party. After we won big in 94 the rino's got together scared that conservative agenda was gaining momentum and wanted to stop it right then and there.
This group was worried after the elections that our gains would help us pass ANWR. They call themselves republicans but hope for the defeats of conservatives and cringe at the thought of 218 conservative members in the house.
This group negotiated with the leaders of our party to get ANWR out of the deal. They are to blame. They have hijacked our party. They stop anything from getting done and make us look weak.
The Dems have dino coalition that negotiates with an outside group with their leadership. Pelosi wants to kick out Jane Harman for being a semi moderate. The dems are all together voting against the budget.
This rino group has taken away our ability to be united and has sabotaged us. America thinks we have the majority so when it nothing happens we get blamed. We don't have the majority. I'd rather be in the minority and be a loyal opposition.
This group are such traitors that Chafee is talking about fillabustering Alito.
There should be mass protests outside the offices of this group in D.C. They were the ones that got Specter elected and called Toomey extreme. We need to raise money to Toomey's group to defeat all rino candidates in primary and put this group out of business. There is a cancer in our party until we clean up the traitors in our party.
I'd rather lose to the dems than be backstabbed by these traitors. They purposefully stay republicans to get together in their group and backstab us.
The two alaska senators voted for it. They are on the list because Murkowski is pro choice but stevens has become a great party member. He has gotten more conservative over the years.
You're being satirical, right? Because why else would you want us to be more dependent on Mideast and Venezuelan oil?
Main Street Individual Fund, 2004 Election Cycle
Formed: 2002 | Web Site
The Main Street Individual Fund (MSIF) is a New York-based group founded to help elect moderate Republican candidates. Among those candidates it supports in the 2004 elections is Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa), who is fending off a tough primary challenge from Rep. Pat Toomey. MSIF raises funds from individual donors and is affiliated with another 527, the Main Street Fund, which solicits contributions from corporations and unions. Both are connected to the Republican Main Street Partnership.
Affiliated Personnel:
Sarah Chamberlain Resnick, executive director
Bob Duke, fund-raiser
Donors:
Dinakar Singh, Goldman Sachs, $100,000
George Soros, Soros Fund Management, $50,000
Sidney V Weinberg Jr, Goldman Sachs, $50,000
John C Whitehead, Lower Manhattan Development Corp, $50,000
527 Activity:
Total Receipts: $471,600
Total Expenditures: $258,870
With all due respect Retired, do you have any idea how long it takes to build and put into operation an oil refinery? It takes years.
So Soros is funding McCain who in turn sponsors McCain-Feingold which directly benefits Soros & Co. at moveon.org.
Something stinks in Phoenix.
Republican Main Street Partnership is looking for personal stories of individuals or families that might benefit from increased embryonic stem-cell research. If you are willing to share your thoughts with us, please email us at stemcellstories@rmsp.org

While we work to get more conservative representatives and senators elected, we can use the existence of this group to call Republicans "the mainstream." It is past time of ceding that position to those who really are on the left end of the graph.
Disclaimer: I am vehemently against increasing funding for embryonic stem cell research. I just extracted that statement because their website has Stem Cell Research as one of their topic buttons.

Have you heard of "It's My Party Too"?
A mailer from them, IMP-PAC for short, was sent to me on a letterhead: "Governor Christie Todd Whitman." www.mypartytoo.com
From the letter: But, take it from me, the unyielding and often arrogant bullying by so-called conservatives only leads to more division.
If you are fed up with the extremism plaguing our party, please answer this rallying cry with a generous contribution.
Italics and underlining in letter
and on and on it went. It made my skin crawl.

However, rationally this is a good sign and inevitable. It means that our country's political power is inside the Republican Party. The disagreements are of degree of the turn toward the right, not a disagreement about whether a politician will go with the Dems or the Rs.
We have to keep our eye on the prize and keep pushing our elected reps to the right.
No s*** sherlock. Glad to know people are around to educate those of us who are so less educated than you.
Sorry there numb-nuts.
I was just responding to your other, off topic, unintelligable post. Here it is right cheer:
"Gee, I thought we were at war now. Oh, right, we really aren't. They are just like teenagers, just misunderstood. Okay, I feel better now. sarcasm sill on, I never turn it off"
Aren't you late for a Cindy Sheehan rally?
"From RetiredArmy | 11/11/2005 11:50:20 AM EST new You can kiss my ass pal. Stick your Cindy up your ass. If you don't like what I type, I could give a shit less. "
Hey Re-tired, when you gotta curse, your out of ideas and have lost the arguement! I just thought everyone should see what a gentelman you are. Enjoy!
Repeat above transmission pal.
It's even more disturbing to see those Alaskan reps on the list, they are actively depriving their state of jobs and income.
Sure.
Stop wasting energy.
And end population growth, by ending immigration, because we are out of resources and room.
Out of room?
Have you ever looked out of your window when taking an airplane ride?
Give me a break.
Yeah.
Up and down both coasts, which are the only geographically good places to live, except they are crowded to the gills, and they keep packing in more.
As to the rest of the country: ain't nobody in flyover country because nobody wants to live there, least of all me.
