Moderate Republicans Feeling Like Endangered Species

November eighth, we need to start the primaries to get rid of these RINOS.

Time to get rid of the far right conservative malcontents.

The Pat Buchanan fans need to realize their guy achieved nothing.

[staytrue]

Fortunately, in just that scenario, Dick Chaney casts the deciding vote!

UNFortunately, in just that scenario, all senate committees are split 50-50. We need to win 51 to avoid that.

[staytrue]

Any money spent by the RNC on Chafee could have been spent elsewhere far more productively.

Totally wrong. Every single incumbent republican senator has a huge cash advantage. Rino Kean is the only serious candidate that could use more money.

[darkangel82]

See #25. The minute we get a split Senate, Chafee will no longer be a Republican, and we will be the minority again.

[staytrue]

I hope all the money they spent trying to save Chaffee doesn't prevent us from electing other more conservative GOP senators.

Except for "rino" kean and "rino" Steele, we have zero chance at winning any democrat seats.

What an embarrassment she and Collins are.

I'm quite proud of Collins and Snowe. The embarassments are the conservatives Delay, Abramoff, Ney, Foley, Duke Cunningham.

regarding post 64,

care to wager 1000 dollars on that ?

If I win, you donate 1000 to the 2008 candidate of my choice and vice versa for me. Prior to Nov. 8 we both give the money to jim rob to hold for us.

Moderate Republicans feeling like endangered species

Hopefully, on a national scale, mccain, giuliani, and the rest of the gaggle of RINOs out there, will get the message, and crawl back into the primordial swamp they came from.

[DocH]

I'm quite proud of Collins and Snowe.

Yeah, you'll be proud of them when you are defenseless against a violent criminal breaking into your home to rape and murder you and your children, if gun-grabbing RINOs like them ever get the chance to help democrats destroy our 2nd Amendment rights.

[DocH]

some lawmakers most likely to be punished are the very ones who have reached across the aisle.

Haven't YOU learned that yet Mr. President?!!

[Madame Dufarge]

I'm quite proud of Collins and Snowe.

What attracts you most to them?

Their Gumby-like spines?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Where's the Rhino McCain px?

President Bush came to Iowa this week to campaign for Jeff Lamberti, who may unseat Boswell, but at our table we were doing an informal poll and ALL agreed that McCain was our last choice. Where do they get it that he is the front runner? How will he win a Republican primary?

[BlackbirdSST]

Because your choice is chafee or whitehouse. If you don't understand that tancredo can't get elected in Rhode Island, I think you are the idiot and not chafee.

The "endangered species" speaks out!

and again.... Time to get rid of the far right conservative malcontents. The Pat Buchanan fans need to realize their guy achieved nothing.

and again....I'm quite proud of Collins and Snowe. The embarassments are the conservatives Delay, Abramoff, Ney, Foley, Duke Cunningham.

Quite the argument to pose on the premiere Conservative website in the Nation! Get used to eating grass, for the pasture is your future! Blackbird.

[Non-Sequitur]

Geez, a Democrat would stab a supposed ally in the back? How shocking!

Judging from some of the posts around here there are plenty of Republicans that would buy the blade for them.

Revelations 3:15:

15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

[Non-Sequitur]

You're already seeing moderate Republicans deserting the party here in Kansas, and it's keeping the governor's office in Democrat hands, will turn the Attorney General's office over to them, and may well cost a Senate seatin 2008.

So...does this mean that all that talk about a Republican Big Tent was all nonsense?

[armymarinemom]

I don't think he McCain can win the primary. Too many conservatives cringe whenever they see him in front of a camera.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, made no apologies for focusing on Republican moderates and said Republicans should blame the party leaders for its approach...

This is exactly why RINOs are so stupid. Whenever they "reach across the aisle" or do the "new tone" crap, the Dems will still stab them in the back. Better just to be conservative, where you're guaranteed conservative support.

[Zack Nguyen]

The more moderates are endangered on the political scene, the happier I get. It's not very practical of me, but I really don't care that much if Chafee loses or not.
