When you finally understand how things work, perhaps you'll realize that though no, Snowe and Chaffe and Collins aren't perfect, but they DO help us to have a majority. But then, maybe you;re one of those who thoroughly enjoys blood continually running down your face, from the lack of nose. And having Kennedy and Rangle and Hillary as the head of Senate committees must make your heart go pitter pat; yes? :-)
There are NO "RINO apologists here", but there most assuredly a lot of people who have no idea what the term RINO actually means and misuse it constantly.
Stop insulting your betters with your blatherings, Chester. Some people actually live in reality and not in your fantasy liberal dreamland.

Why don't you go back to the Democrats? Your problems with the Kennedys and the Hillaries of the world sound like an intra-party issue, not something you hijack another party for.
Silly me for calling Jeanine Pirro a Republican In Name Only just because she agrees with Hillary on standing by your sleezebag husband, abortion, gun control, affirmative action, gay rights, unions, "children's issues", "woman's issues", spending, and half a dozen other issues, etc. I mean she's clearly a Republican because she supported war with Iraq and "cutting spending" and being "tough on crime" -- oh wait! So did Hillary! BOTH of them using such issues to downplay their liberalism and "move to the center"
Oh wait. There is one noticeable difference: Pirro is running to the left of Hillary on immigration.
Even Geraldine Ferraro asked RINO Pirro "Why the hell are a Republican!?" Something makes me think most Republicans she's meet in NY don't share Jeanine's "values"
If that makes Jeanine a Republican, then my "moderate" DEMOCRAT state Rep. must be downright Reaganesque, because I guarantee even he's NOT as far left as Jeanine and he's a political from Illinois, hardly an ultra right wing Bush state. Pirro is a joke in her own right and the only reason you guys wanted this lightweight RINO is because she's "not Hillary" you think she could "beat Hillary" by flip-flopping and trying to take credit for her agenda. You'd never vote for her in a primary to succeed a real Republican, say Phil Gramm. I meet people who trie that sale losing stragedy last year. They were known as Kerry supporters. Hey, Lurch is a terrible candidate is OWN right, but he can "beat Bush", that what counts!
