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!!!
Yes, and I might just get involved to assist.
Good conservatives like Allen & Santorum have been booted... while scum like Kerry & McCain will continue to ruin this Republic.
He convinced my mother-in-law to not vote for McGavick and Reichert in WA state. She has a little coterie of friends that likely all voted the same. McGavick lost by a mile, but Reichert is currently barely winning and may end up dearly needing their Savage-influenced votes.
"Best comment on the thread was the poster who said Clinton was a mole."
I meant to respond to that comment but couldn't find it again! I've always believed that Clinton and Hillary are both moles. What else could explain their mission to destroy America as we know it?
It occurred to me this morning that all these votes against the Republicans are in retaliation for our being in Iraq "saving those people". They are too stupid to see that the terrorists ultimate goal is to kill all of us, every last one who is a non-believer. How many times do they have to state that before people believe them?
And for those who believe that the World Trade Center was the work of Jews or our own Goverment, I guess they haven't seen the videos the terrorists have presented showing them seated in front of giant photos of those burning towers, praising the work of their fellow b.....ds.
I did have the honor of voting for Barry Goldwater and the only only person who ever admitted it to me was a Judge who presided at a murder triel. I was privileged to be on the jury.
Hey Slick, I'm 4th Generation Miliatry (3 generations of Marines before I spent 12 years in the Navy). I'll say whatever I want about his service, if you don't mind. I think I've earned that right.
He's done nothing but sully and dishonor himself, and lost any right to speak with any moral authority on anything ever since he's entered politics. CFR, all the cheap and empty immigration talk, the Ganag of 14, the Keating scandal, the dirty shenanigans in the primaries leading up to '00. He's a maniac and a self-promoting slimebag, who is fortunate there are somehow still republicans dumb enough to support him.
If you ask me, John McCain geting tossed out of office with the rest of the dead weight last week would have smelled like victory. Unfortunately, we're stuck with him for the foreseeable future.
You should get your mother-in-law away from that poison. If she wants the real deal Levin is the guy. If she wants meatball recipes then I suggest the Food Netwok.
>Santorum.<
Has everyone forgotten that W signed the U.S. away with the North American Union agreement with Canada and Mexico the minute he was re-elected? The twelve lane NAFTA Highway will be a drug dealer's dream, and will cause grief to many American property owners. But the heck with that. W. is a good guy, nez pas?
No. John Ensign from the Dirty Harry Reid state!
USE MORE CAPS please.
You got it! And more than ever before.....just voting isn't enough any more. We have GOT to get out there and WORK for our very future and for our lives and that of our familes, in this next Presidential election!

I agree with you. We need to start this and be real active during the primary. That is the best chance of getting the best conservative to run in the General election, which is the best option for this country also.
In the last 5 years McCain's been more interested in pleasing Don Imus, democrats and the hollywood elite than conservatives. They think they've got their man with John McCain. They can have him.
"Besides being the lamest reason I've ever heard for a president to sign a law he doesn't like, it is the wrong answer...it takes a 2/3 majority to do it...not enough votes (because, as you're still seeing, the politians love to keep the money coming)."
The bill was passed with 2/3rds of each house.
"They're not lies...look up the damned record for proof."
I did look at the record. They are lies.
"I happen to know a bit about the Guard and Reserve because I'm a retired Naval reservist. To have a "good year", a member is required to make 60 points--there 4 points for every weekend drill (48) plus 14 for the two week ACTDUTRA. That adds up to 62 points--they allow you to miss a full day of drill but, if you want to be promoted, you usually try to make in excess of 70 in that regard--Bush's record shows inconsistencies trying to do that click here ...regardless, he admitted he did not make all of his scheduled drills"
He did not say that at all. He said he did not make them all up in TEXAS.
"when he was working on an Alabama congressman's campaign. Now, I want to make myself clear, I am not criticizing him for the make ups; only that his military service seems to pale against what John McCain went through during the same period of time."
After the campaign, that he was excused for he made up all points that were still needed, and made more points than needed to leave the reserve several weeks later.
And again, he had permission to miss some drills in Texas and make them up in Alabama.
One other thing. You referred above about what it takes for a promotion. Bush was looking to finish what he needed to do in the reserves. He was not looking for a promotion.
Savage is either a mole,or pushing Kerry for flip flop King.
