defconw,

Mo1 wants us to lose the Senate. Don't let her kid you.

hehehehe

Actually, she and I have been at each other's throats over when to remove RINOs and her position has always been to do so in the primary. As a cantankerous old fogie, I say take them out any time you get the chance. For the Senate to change hands, the Dems would have to hold every one of their seats and win 6 of ours. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!

I say that we can take out a few in November and still hold the Senate and our position will be enhanced, not weakened. We won't have the same numbers, but the naysayers that remain will represent a smaller percentage working against us. They will be more marginalized and ineffective.

The 'primary is the time' mantra is just the talking points of a party and / or candidate that desparately wants to maintain control or hold onto his seat and if you buy into that theory you enhance their chances of remaining when they should be sent packing.

It's a target rich environment and you can fire at will. It's open season.

I don't think we can run the risk of even one RINO being defeated in the Senate. Every vote for Mitch McConnell or whoever is running for Majority Leader is key. This could be a 50/50 tie...we at least want VP Cheney to decide it. If it's 51-49 the other way, he doesn't. Bad News...

Here's my theory .. kick the most liberal Gop'er out one at a time

If Chafee loses .. we still have the majority

Then there is Kean, jr. ... though I don't like him because he is just another rino .. but that's the best NJ can do at the moment .. if he wins .. then we still have the same about of Gop Senators

Much as I would love to see the GOP gain seats, it would be hard to weap over seeing a couple RINOs go down in flames, so long as the GOP still has SOMETHING over 51 seats. I mean, RINOs by definition barely vote with the GOP 50% of the time, so little would be lost really, and some of the states that put up RINOs, after six years of a flaming lib representing them, that might cure enough voters that they're replace that flamer with real honest to goodness NON-RINO Conservative Republican. It could happen. :) The only good RINO is a defeated RINO, but we should keep one in office for kicks to remember what they're like. Either Snowe or Collins maybe. They're so loopy who would want more of them? One is one too many. :)
