FReepers - let's get a list of congressional leaders in both houses who are RINO's only - those who pretend to be conservative...
We need to know who they are - so we can find conservative challengers to boot them out in the primaries...
Let's get a grassroots operation going to educate the public on what conservatism is - visit the Reagan Library, visit heritage.org, etc. I totally agree with Rush's comments over the last two days - conservativism is not dead - people will follow conservatism if they see it in action and not in name only.
Bush to a BIG SPENDER extent.... NCLB, prescription meds, bail-outs, and on and on...
Here’s the “Bailout Bunch” in the Senate:
Alexander (R-TN)
Bennett (R-UT)
Bond (R-MO)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK)
Coleman (R-MN)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Craig (R-ID)
Domenici (R-NM)
Ensign (R-NV)
Graham (R-SC)
Grassley (R-IA)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hagel (R-NE)
Hatch (R-UT)
Hutchison (R-TX)
Isakson (R-GA)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Lugar (R-IN)
Martinez (R-FL)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Smith (R-OR)
Snowe (R-ME)
Specter (R-PA)
Stevens (R-AK)
Sununu (R-NH)
Thune (R-SD)
Voinovich (R-OH)
Warner (R-VA)
......Activist conservatives.....
That’s sort of an oxymoron. There are activist and there are conservatives, but there are virtually no activist conservatives.
In the House, Mike Castle (RINO-DE).
Hagel didn’t run this year, so he’ll be replaced by Mike Johanns.
Condi Rice,
Be careful.
There’s a difference between getting rid of a RINO in a conservative state/district (e.g. McCain in AZ) and a RINO in a liberal state/district (e.g. Collins/Snowe in deep blue Maine, Coleman in blue MN).
While I wholeheartedly, without question, believe in getting the true conservative elected in red states/districts and even Purplish states/districts, only RINOs can win in Blue states. That’s a fact.
I mean, I think folks like Snowe and Collins realize they are not spokespeople for the conservative agenda. They are a bonus IMO.
That’s how the liberals have won the past two cycles. Running conservative Dems in conservative districts, but in the end muzzling them when they got to Congress, ceding more power to Pelosi/Reid.
Even kooks like KOS & Co understannd this theory. They’re not gonna get a bleeding-heart socialist elected in places like South Dakota, Montana, Arkansas, Loiusiana, and Nebraska - all conservative states with Dem U.S. Senators.
How about listing the ones that aren’t? It’ll take much less time and space.
Guess we’re either going to have to do the best we can with who we have or all go commit suicide because NO ONE is good enough. My prediction is that there will NEVER be anyone good enough for all of us.
W/ spokesmen like these representing our views in the national media its a wonder there are any gop city councilmen in this country.
I second the the ousting of Arlen Specter!
I think it was Phylis Schaffley who said that Jesus isn’t on the ballot and someone has to win.
It would be easier to list the names of those who aren’t RINOs.
SUSAN COLLINS - ME
OLYMPIA SNOW - ME
Some say the best way to get to the gang is to remove their leader. Does anyone remember who the leader was?
We all know what opinions are like .....
Comments like yours have destroyed any credibility once possessed by the party, so-called conservative talkers/writers/pundits and FR.
