FREEPERS, it is time for PAYBACK! The ULTIMATE RINO must suffer the consequences of Tuesday!

[You Dirty Rats]

Since Tuesday almost all of us have been saddened and angered because we lost Congress to the 'Rats.

Why?

How did our united, magnificent victory in 2004 end up achieving so little and lead us to defeat in 2006?

There are many reasons, but tonight I focus on ONE.

IMHO the term "RINO" is overused. While looking at an ACU rating list I noticed only one Republican Senator with a score below 50 and below any 'Rat Senator - Chafee. I felt he was the only Senate RINO.

But there is another -- far, far worse. He had a lifetime rating of 80 -- yet he is the ULTIMATE RINO!!

Freepers, many of us have been upset the past two years. For some, it was Terry Schiavo. For others it was when Voinovich stabbed Bolton in the back late. For others it was the border issue.

But for me, and I suspect many others, there was another moment that ended our 2004 victory and began our 2006 defeat.

We all don't think alike and in 2004 we worked hard to re-elect GWB for different reasons. One reason I believe at least 95% of Freepers share -- JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS!!!

And here -- The President kept his word. His nominations, on current evidence, are better than any other President. Yes, he goofed on Miers -- but he corrected that error and it all worked out.

For YEARS, ever since Bork and Thomas were humiliated, we Conservatives waited and worked for victory. We reached 55 Senators and had the "nucular option" ready. We were all set to blow the 'Rats judicial obstruction to hell. I, like many Freepers, was on the Live Thread waiting for the moment when the 'Rats had to step aside or be blown to hell. Victory was at hand ...

... and then that grandstanding jackass whose bitterness at losing in 2000 ate away at him decided it was time to rain on our parade and form the infamous Gang of 14.

Freepers, isn't THAT the moment in the past two years when we threw away our victory? Isn't THAT when Republican turned against Republican and our unity died? Isn't that moment when our fate this Tuesday was sealed?

And WHO LED THIS???

MCCAIN!!!!

MCCAIN is the ULTIMATE RINO -- not because of his voting record, but because he stabbed the President, Bill Frist and all of us in the back!! It was horrible that the President and Frist caught flak from some conservatives on this when they were victims of McCain's Mutiny!!

AND NOW THAT DIRTY BACKSTABBING RINO WANTS TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IN 2008? HE DOESN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS AFTER TUESDAY??

Freepers, I urge all of you -- DO NOT SUPPORT THIS STINKING RINO!! He has wrecked our Party and should be shunned, not supported for President!!

The way I feel today, I might actually stay home if McCain faces Hillary -- because I can't support a candidate of our Party who turned on our Party like that.

MCCAIN, YOU DIRTY RAT!! YOU WILL NEVER GET OUR PARTY'S NOMINATION! DON'T GO AWAY MAD ... JUST GO AWAY!!!

McCain did not lose this election. It is delusional to believe he did. The election was lost because the Independents and Moderates voted for the RATS. We ONLY win when they vote GOP. If we cannot counter the Treason media lies and distortions which cost the GOP their votes we cannot win.

It is a miracle that Republicans win any elections given the power the Treason Media has over the minds of voters. It is, and had been for a long time, our biggest enemy. That is the Party of Treason's biggest asset.

[oceanview]

yes. but don't get me wrong, I don't generally love McCain. His position on the detainee "bill of rights" and immigration, bothers me alot more then the judges issue. But he deserves a fair shot in the primaries just like anyone else - and I won't close my ears totally to what he has to say, and to what the polls say.

[MDspinboyredux]

I see that the Dem 'black ops' people and their "GOP enablers" are here in force.

You are content with cutting off your nose to spite your face? You deserve every pro-abortion, anti-2nd amendment, tax hiking decision that comes out of the White House.

Problem is that your stupid decision has a way of affecting the rest of us.

Our loss on Tuesday is in no small measure to the likes of you. I hope you enjoy our 2 years of impeachment hearings and WOT retreat.

"MSM will take care of McCain.. especially if he is up against Hillary. If these two turns out to be our only choice.. I'm voting Liberterian."

McCain is not going to be the only Republican running in 2008. Would you be willing to look at who all does run and work to get the best choice elected in the primaries? Then, maybe reconsider a Republican vote in the General?

[DesScorp]

I'll be working against McCain in the primaries...

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Let the bastards know that we wont vote for mclame under any circumstances and that includes running against the beast.When the leadership realizes this then mclame is toast.We set the agenda,not them.If the pack of 06 losers want to win in 08 they had better wise up and run a "real" conservative.If not then the 06 loss will pale by comparison.

[RabidBartender]

Matt Blunt is 36 years old - they would tear up his age. Hopefully, he'll challenge for the seat that troll-Claire just won in 2012. But first, he has to beat a well-known Democrat Jay Nixon for re-election in 2008.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hey slick, knock it off about what happened during his service.Anything other than that would fine with me.

[Jackson Brown]

As I read this thread, I'm seeing a bunch of idiots who STILL can not see the FACTS. Think less the individuals and think MORE about the WHOLE!!! IF we had a 6062 majority, then get rid of the RINOs -- especially in DURING THE PRIMARIES.

We tossed out a lot of good/great conservatives because of a few others. What good did that do?

Also, people just do NOT get the SIMPLE fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE, beyond the relm of possibility, to get anyting BUT a RINO elected in the strong blue states.

Those few RINOs STILL can give the the republicans the MAJORITY and power to the CONSERVATIVES that get elected along with them. Those conservatives -- that are still there, we lost a BUNCH -- are NOW powerless!

[Buffettfan]

McCain doesn't even have the balls to protect the borders of his own home state of Arizona that is being invaded from Mexico. How the f$ck is he going to protect the rest of the homeland. He doesn't stand a chance of winning the POTUS.

Suppose an ailing McCain ran with a VP of Jeb Bush? How would people feel then?

[nitejohnboy]

So go read a book.

[xmission]

Who here had even heard about McCain before the MSM started showing us his image, and telling us what a star he was?

We can have good, solid, and genuinely conservative people running for office in two years if we keep the idea that this is the only way that we will vote Republican, before the eyes of the party.

We're stuck with the bottom line from the other day for a while, but we have a great opportunity to reform the party like it should have been for the last decade, like wise Mr. Reagan envisioned it.

[right way right]

Looks like you will not be alone in this task.

[nitejohnboy]

If I were Jeb or any of the Bush family, I'd give the country the 1 finger salute and retire. Why would he want to put himself thru the agony his brother has faced?

[meandog]

His position on the detainee "bill of rights" and immigration, bothers me alot more then the judges issue. But he deserves a fair shot in the primaries just like anyone else - and I won't close my ears totally to what he has to say, and to what the polls say.

I have some reservations about those issues as well...but, on second glance, they seem to be the ones that the administration wanted out there. What really chaps me is the abuse that McCain draws for daring to run against the man who just cost what it took 42 years to build after Goldwater. Why does Bush always get the free pass?

Here is an Air Guardsman who admitted missing many drills and making only the bare minimum makeups required against a Navy combat pilot who was shot down defending his country and ended up spending nearly 6 years in a POW camp.

It's true that McCain joined with Feingold and Cochran (remember him, he's the conservative from Mississippi) that drafted CFR but Bush is the one who made it law. McCain campaigned hard for the president in 2004 and he ranks as the biggest hawk in the U.S. Senate when it comes to the GWOT.

I've personally met him, I served under his father, his grandfather was a legitimate WWII naval hero and admiral who was credited by none other than McArthur and Halsey for the role he played.

IMO, he is being bashed mainly because CFR threaten to drain advertising revenue from talker types who depend on its revenue.

[Finny]

Mega Dittos. You are going to hear lot of Establishment Republicans tell you "McCain is the only one that can win".

I know -- and what really fries me is that McCain has so much baggage that he would be every bit unelectable as many seem to think Newt Gingrich would be, only Gingrich isn't an emotionally disturbed madman like McCain is. Once it was just McCain against Hillary or any other Democrat, the media would inundate America with exposes on his mental instability. He would be absolutely unelectable.

[Dolphy]

This is probably as interesting of a post-election analysis as any I have read. McCain has used his national prominence to diminish the Bush administration in the eyes of conservatives with both CFR and the Gang of 14.

Yet, most analysis says this election was lost in the middle. And that is where McCain, who allegedly has such broad appeal, really screwed conservatives. When he could have been a bridge, he was a wrecking ball. He has been consistently critical of the Bush administration in the eyes of moderates and independents with attacks on the strategy in Iraq and various environmental issues (where I've seen him speak of the White House with as much disrespect as any Democrat).

Things are just where McCain would like them to be. A perfect stage for him to be in the spotlight forging deals as a bipartisan leader.

[alicewonders]

We set the agenda,not them.If the pack of 06 losers want to win in 08 they had better wise up and run a "real" conservative.If not then the 06 loss will pale by comparison.

Wise words - they bear repeating.

[visualops]

Campaign Finance Reform is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever. Soneone who had a big part in the creation of that nightmare is not Presidential material.
