What are the RINO's going to do when we are not there to get them re-elected. The days of acting like Democrats is over. Check out the last line of this article by Dick Armey- "When we act like us, we win. When we act like them, we lose."

When I lived in Texas I was proud to have Dick Armey as my Congressman. I hope the current incumbents will listen to him.

Mr. Armey is exactly right. For all he has done in ousting Saddam, President Bush has failed to build either the party or support his base. In over 30 years of voting, I have never been as disgusted with my party's leaders at the national level. Senators, Representatives and the President - Hillary may find she has a complete walk into the White House. The nation as whole seems to have totally lost the lesson of 9/11. It is sad, and it is really unfortunate but it appears one or more national tragedies will be necessary before the politicians wake up.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.............
The margins of victory are so small, that a major stay at home of conservatives in 06 and 08 will swing vote to Dems.
I hate it but the elites seem to be able to control the few conservatives we send to Washington..From the President on down all we get is some tax bones thrown to Us but from the Border and Illegals to expanding Fed gov I cannot tell the GOP from the DEMS. A third party could emerge that I could support but the odds against it are so large. Perhaps the Internet can overcome the blocks but it will take forums like FR to push for a third party.

My governor, Kenny Guinn (NV), is a RINO. He came up the political ladder via the education system, a notorious breeding ground for liberals and hard-core leftists (e.g., Patty "Osama Mama" Murray of WA).

RINOs know they'll get elected because of the "lesser of two evils" principle. The real problem isn't with the RINOs--they're liberals and they know it--it's with the GOP, who enables these fools and puts them on their ticket.

The biggest problem is httat the fish rots from the head. Jorge Arbusto is not a conservative, he is a rockefeller republican thru and thru.

[Thermalseeker]

Our base rightly expects Republicans to govern by the principles--lower taxes, less government and more freedom--that got them elected.

Exactly what I told the RNC guy who called me the other day soliciting donations. I told him the RNC had gotten it's last dime from me until they start actually doing what they talk about. Creating two new Federal Bureaucracies in the past five years isn't in the "reduced government" model they've harped about my entire adult life. His response was "You mean you'd rather have a San Francisco Liberal in office?" I said, no, but with Republicans like you, who needs Democrats?

I also reminded him that it was Thomas Jefferson who said revolution every so often is a good thing. If it takes suffering through a few years of the Liberals in control to wake up the 'Pubbies and make them hold true to the principles they've espoused my entire life I'm all for it.

Things are even worse than Armey is saying. Notice he didn't mention abortion, (no action of any kind), illegal immigration (actively aiding and abetting it) gun control (new controls by executive fiat), and Islamic terrorism (fighting it in some places, aiding it in others),

Seems the Republican'ts aren't getting enough calcium to grow a spine...

[unixfox]

The best way to get rid of RINOS is to vote AGAINST them. Of course with all of the lying and manipulating that goes on it's hard to determine who is worth a crap anymore.

Bump for this. Can't believe there wasn't more commentary.
