ref post #76, the Country Club Republicans are trying to take over the Party from Conservatives, and they have been planning this for about ten years that I know of. They really think they have a chance to smash the Conservatives , and are pushing really hard right now. Whitman is the leader, and when she was a Cabinet Member I always worried what havoc she was doing behind the scenes. She finally took her "ball" and went away mad, and stayed mad. There is a huge RINO faction that thinks they will push the Conservatives down,but they are wrong because without Conservatives they are not in the Majority, and that is one one thing that they really covet, "Power." I believe McCain and Whitman are together on this and have made a "devil" pact,but we shall see very soon. What is not very helpful is when some of the Conservatives become so radical on the Immigration Issue that they turn every conversation into a hateful rant. You could be talking about sliced Bread, and they would turn it into an all about illegal immigrants conversation. It makes out side look bad.

I agree 100%. I just hope that the conservative base realizes that we have to hang together, etc for this November election. Dems and drive-by media will be doing everything they can to exploit this crack between the two halves of the Republican party.
PS: I am listening to a replay of Schumer on FTN. He is flat out lying as usual.
PPS: Shieffer started lying in his introduction to this progam.
