Better than working with the 'Rats, why don't they just join them????

[darkangel82]

They want to cause trouble within the party. That's why I always call them RINOs and Main Street Garbage.

[OmegaMan]

This is not good news. The moderates and independents shifted to the democrats. If you lose the center, you lose period. Solution? Rudy Giuliani.

[Torie]

You seem to be under some delusion that the GOP can win much without the "RINO" vote. It can't, except in certain selected areas. And of course, then there is the independent vote, which is even more RINO than the RINO vote. Delusional self indulgence is akin to gluttony, and gluttony is a sin.

[Pyro7480]

I don't know who's worse: my former representative (Castle), or my current one (Moran of northern Virginia).

a little something I tossed together..

Republicans need to be inclusive of liberal Republicans in the same way Dems use their conservative Dems.

Pelosi welcomes the Conservative dems even though she has no use for their values and would implement any conservative policies.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Is it any wonder why conservatives stay home? Why should we vote for socialist Republicans?

These "Main Street" Republicans can go screw themselves.

[NormsRevenge]

fyi ..
Newsmax is running its own title on this Jim Abrams ap piece apparently

original AP title was or looks to have been

'GOP moderates vow to explore new avenues'

Yahoo has this particular piece titled as

'GOP moderates vow to work with Democrats'

on its home page

-- Regardless , Thanks for posting.

"Better than working with the 'Rats, why don't they just join them????"

My thought as well. Come out of the closet, RINOS.

[Lancey Howard]

Inroads have been made, but we need to unload a few more of these scumbag liberal Republicans every time there's a primary rather than shrug our shoulders as we nonchalantly watch them lose in the general elections.

[185JHP]

B/c it would require more honesty than they possess?

[Prince Charles]

Why vote for a Main Street GOPer when you could vote for a real Democrat?

[LibLieSlayer]

Exactly! I wish they would join the evil that they truly represent. Make notes and withold funds at election time. Money is the only motivating factor for a Rino...

LLS

oxymoronic.......

[arthurus]

Liberal Republicans Seek Relevance

Futility on steroids.

[.cnI redruM]

Lincoln CHafee's loss in no way effected the balance of power in the US Senate. DeWine's only debateably. Allen, Santorum and Burns actually hurt.

[Clintonfatigued]

If a district is too liberal to elect a conservative, than a RINO serves a purpose. Problem is, RINO's taking themselves too seriously.

[goldstategop]

Hahaha... GOP liberals plan to vote with Democrats? Big surprise.

[goldstategop]

I'd tell Michael Castle the RINOs delivered for the GOP exactly, zip, zilch and nada in November. The last thing we need on Free Republic are RINO cheerleaders. This is a CONSERVATIVE forum!
