Open to suggestions, and I'll open my checkbook to help the cause.

A decent candidate is running against Chafee, one who has a real shot at winning - Steve Laffey.

Forget Chafee, the only alternative, Laffey, is an open borders, police state communitarian.

We have two RINO's in Maine that I sure wish we could get rid of! No one will run against them. We are sunk.

If we don't find a decent candidate in Maine to bump out Snowe I' going to write in Antia Conservative when I go to the polls.

Lincoln Chafee is the worst of the worst. He somehow managed to be even worse than his father

Bear in mind that the difference between Republican and Democratic Senators is that the latter constantly live in fear of a primary challenge while the former don't.
This must change.

How about McCain? He's not from New England, but he has a far bigger national recognition. Taking him out would put the fear into other RINOs?

Isn't there some way we New Englanders can send a message to our RINOs in Congress that we are gunning for them?Sure, you could vote for their Democrat opponent.

I think part of the problem some wont run againts these RINO's is that they dont know if they have backing.
But lets say there is a TV comercial saying how bad A RINO is. then they might give it a go. Cause it takes lots of money to get TV ads going. WHich ussually means someone with money is behind them. Or againts the RINO.

Chafee.
Vote for Laffey.
If Laffey doesn't win the primary, don't vote for Chafee anyway. he is the ultimate RINO going so far as to announce he would write in G.W.B.'s father rather than vote for him.
Even Collins and Snowe wouldn't go that far.

Can't we form RINO-PAC and scare some of these people straight, a la Club for Growth? Indeed we can, and it'll last until somebody says 'abortion' or 'drug legalization' or 'patriot act'. So long as we care more about the things we disagree over than about the importance of agreeing to disagree, conservatives will stay weak.
So far as getting rid of New England's RINOs is concerned, we won't, unless the lot of us vote for the Democrat, no matter how bad. If you say you have to vote for Snowe in 2006, or at least go third party or stay home, then you won't have much of a complaint when you have to vote for Snowe again in 2012.

Yep, but that would TAKE running yourself.. Thats why there's so many RINOs. (1)Patriotic citizens won't run.. or (2)the voting public won't elect them.. Its (1) I assume thats most of the problem.. That it takes more money to run than you can ever hope to get from the job, unless your dishonest and patriotism is a sound bite.. and campaign coffers are a glorified slush fund..

Work to elect 60 repub senators, then there won't be a problem. Work to elect 60 democrat senators, and they will immediately start impeaching Bush.

You don't get it. New Englanders elect RINO's because they like RINO's. Take them out and you'll end up with a dem in office.
As distasteful as RINO's are, aren't they at least a moderately better choice then a dem?

"Conservative" pubbies as I suspect you define it, cannot win anywhere in New England in any CD, even the more GOP district in New Hampshire, unless the Pubbie emphasizes fiscal and economic issues. Strange thread.
