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!!!
Talk show faux-Conservative Michael Weiner, aka Savage did his best to undermine the GOP as well.
You've noticed McCain is a evil, turncoat and egomaniac JUST NOW?
I agree that the term RINO is overused. The correct term for most of these guys is OBSTRUCTIONISTS. They are either egomaniacs or just plain traitors to the conservative agenda when they are needed most.
Now they won't confirm Bolton? I mean, WTF is that? Why not?
They wouldn't make the tax cuts permanent. WHY?
Things like this should seriously diminish someone's ACU rating, so we can get an accurate gauge of their true standing.
I agree with most of what you wrote...BUT you would let hitlary become president?????????????????????????????????????????????????? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had it with Weiner/"Savage"
His 15 minutes are up.
nuff said
Truly yours,
The Choir
Senator - Chafee. Is not a RINO. He is a TRINO (Treascherous RINO)
As for McStain I've written my own name in in the last two elections he stood.
VOTE SANDRAT for Arizona Senator in '08!
I don't think we can blame McLame for everything. I'm not a fan of his, but this is a bit silly. There were many reasons we lost, and the reasons were different in every region. It's not the end of the world. Let's see what the Dems can do now, since they've spent the last 6 years complaining, degrading, smearing, undercutting, and sabotaging everything our side has tried to accomplish.
I wouldn't vote for McCain -- but if it were him vs. Hitlery in the final cut, I would have to hold my nose....
A worthy vanity with an excellent analysis. Sign me up!
I would re-elect Bill Clinton before I would vote for McCain and I detest Clinton. At least Bill is what he is: a two faced liar who makes no bones about it. McCain not only is duplicious, he slithers like a snake.
I can't stand Snake McCain, but......
the way I feel right now is....
SCREW ALL OF YOU that stayed home this election, voted for a third party or voted for a DemRat, rather than vote for a Republican In Name Only....
and SCREW ALL OF YOU that plan to do the SAME when Hitlery runs for President!
This is FUBAR situation partially (or mostly), all YOUR fault.
And of couse, if you just happen to be a paid DU'er....here to spread discontent and disenchantment among the cons & Reps, you probably should receive a medal, blue ribbon or award of some sort...for having done your treasonous job so well!

Are you series? =)
Good grief, Savage had zero influence on this election. Zero.
Yep he can just go away too and play kissy face with that Rat Senator Chucky Schumer he did so much to help with the Port Deal Campaign Propaganda. Guy is nothing but a political con man.
