So here are the disorderly House Republicans. We should move to put pressure on them to get in line. If one of them is your representative, be sure to let them know how you feel. If anyone knows of a real conservative running against any of these RINO Reps in the GOP primary, post that information here.

The Conservative Party should be called the Shriveled Party....

[Senior Chief]

Were that it was the "conservative" party. If you take a look, they all have an R after their name. Republicanism just isn't what it used to be.

[G.Mason]

Burp!

[leprechaun9]

The real difference in politics is not R or D, but Conservative and Liberal. The Liberals control both out houses of Congress!

[Ron in Acreage]

Only a paltry $50 billion over 5 YEARS! This is nothing but cowardice. The budget is over 2 trillion a YEAR. In 5 years it will be about 3 trillion at the rate they're going. It's less than a fraction of 1%.

[thomaswest]

hmm, "over 5 years". I do not have this advantage in my checkbook. Over 5 or 10 years is a RINO notion--it has to be done EACH year.

Hmm, cut taxes, spend $200 billion on New Orleans from all of our money, and increase the national deficit--and interest thereon for our grandchildren--cut medicare for our grandparents. What is wrong with this picture?

This is the biggest vote of the 109th Congress – period. Republicans are attempting to seriously address out-of-control spending by reducing its rate of growth by saving $50 billion over five years.

Cutting it's rate of growth?

How can anyone believe that a handful of "moderates" are the problem here?

[Meldrim]

No surprise with Bradley or Bass...

[Recon Dad]

Since everyone of these guys has to run for office every two years pull them in and tell them that the party will support more conservative canidates in the next election.

[Daveinyork]

Forget it. The Republican party is living up to its reputation as the stoopid party. Here in York, PA, the local Republican office holders openly supported the Democratic candidate for mayor.

It is truth. The rats abandoed the dem party and took over the conservative.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Wimp Frist Group.

Mark Kirk is my Congressman. He just got an early morning piece of my mind. This is infuriating.

[USS Alaska]

These are NOT cuts in spending. The amount of spending will increase year over year, they are only going to spend slightly less than they proposed to spend. ONLY IN WASHINGTON IS MORE SPENDING CONSIDERED A CUT. GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[counterpunch]

Good work. Be sure to raise awareness of this in your community and among your conservative friends and coworkers.

[WhiteGuy]

Indeed,

Sad isn't it?

[Theodore R.]

Vernon Ehlers (MI)

I believe that this is the "moderate" MI gentleman who sided with Loretta Sanchez, when Robert K. Dornan attempted to prove fraud in the 1996 disputed CA House race.

[Theodore R.]

There was a 1950s Anthony Perkins film called Fear Strikes Out about the mental breakdown of the baseball player Jimmy Piersall. It does seem that most of our conservatives, less a couple of dozen in the House and four or five in the Senate who would buy into that film title.

[battletank]

Oh. To be sure I will be shouting this from the rooftops around here. I have not found Congressman Kirk to be a mushy moderate in the past. He certainly is now and I pinned the label on this donkey with an (R) this morning.
