With a few dissents, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) was elected general chair of the Republican Nat'l Cmte this afternoon. RNC general counsel Mike Duncan was elected chair.

No offense intended, I just don't think your post are clear, or I wouldn't have asked. I don't think they are clear to many others here either. I am trying to understand where you are coming from, that's all.

I'm with you, but what do we do now?

Form a 3rd Party. The American Party! Motto - Vote Democrat if you are a Democrat. Vote Republican if your a Republican! Vote American if you are an American!

I ask you why didn't Rudy run against Hillary for the NY Senate seat? My answer: He would have gotten SMOKED just as Kean, Jr. did in Jersey.

Rudy DID run, he dropped out because he had a personal battle against cancer. I believe you're wrong though, he would have SMOKED Hillary since he was leading in the polls when he dropped out to check himself into chemotherapy treatment. Whether you like him or not, he's STILL a popular political figure both in NY and around this country.

So I felt compelled to let her know that although in Mexico it may be the natural, okay thing to do, in America, a little modesty would be in order.

You brated a breastfeeding mother because your sense of modesty was offended?

I cannot say the words that I wish to express to you for your completely tasteless, repulsive, and ignorant behavior, without being kicked off FR.

Let it be known I have a certain finger extended in your direction. And it's not my thumb.

I'm talking about in '06, not '00. Why didn't he run against her in '06? Answer: he would have LOST.

[Miss Marple]

I would point out to you that you guys ran that conservative mayor the last time...Brit Schundler, I believe his name was. He also lost.

The democrat machine runs your state. I don't think it matters if one runs a liberal, moderate, or conservative Republican. They all will lose.

I'd like to have GOP majorities --- HUGE majorites --- huge enough to allow for veto proof legislation to go through in the disasterous event we are cursed with a democrat president.

I'd love to have conservatives hold every elected office, but not all voters are conservative.

I lived in CA all my life until last year. I remember Governors Reagan, Duke and Wilson. I also remember Governors Brown and Brown Junior. CA is now LUCKY to have elected Arnold over the Marxist democrat. Arnold enjoys a 60% approval rating --- which means he's only giving conservatives half of what they want, but that half sure beats the heck out of ZERO.

[abercrombie_guy_38]

Not a chance. I never waste my vote.

Of course not. You just spend it on party instead of principle, which is just as bad.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Why didn't he run against her in '06? Answer: he would have LOST.

Hillary won re-election against a weak Republican.

[onyx]

That's what you think. HAR!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Funny, I don't remember Ronald Reagan doing that, and he won a few blue states, didn't he?

Against Mondull of all people.

Now the GOP will get all the illegal alien "new American" vote. Not.

It's obvious that the Repub. establishment is hell-bent on making us part of Latin America, whether their voters, or the citizenry, want it or not. What an insult.

[zbigreddogz]

Typical liberal crap. Blame someone else for your own failings.

It's typical of the so-called, self-proclaimed 'real' conservatives around here.

Graf didn't even get 50% of the vote in the primary, and he got crushed without the DNC spending a dime against him, which nullifies the fact that the RNC didn't spend any money for him.

You Tancrediacks are hilarious.

[theanonymouslurker]

Schundler lost after the statewide GOP (who are all onyx's brand of RINO) would not outwardly support him. The party was split between "moderate" Bob Franks' supporters and Schundler's supporters. I'm pretty sure those lousy RINOs wouldn't endorse him even after he won the primary.

See what happens when RINOs gain control of your party?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Not only was he clean, his father was a very popular former governor and chair of the 9/11 commission.

The 9/11 Commission was a joke.

[nopardons]

Do you have any idea what the head of the RNC actually does?

Have all of you forgotten that Martinez is just going to be the FIGUREHEAD and that two other people are actually going to be doing most of the work?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? BEING A FREEPER USED TO MEAN THAT WE KNEW THESE THINGS AND DIDN'T POST EMOTIONAL CLAPTRAP!
