As usual, Republicans are eating their own. Stop the infighting...every last Republican will be needed in the days ahead.

Republicans need to purge themselves of the RINOs to be successful. Having someone who has a (r) by their name in office does not mean they will support conservative or even Republican bills. Ask Chuck Hagel, Ask Lincoln Chaffee, etc. etc. The Dems purge themselves of those not wanted - look at how they have treated Joe Lieberman. Yet Republicans beg people like Jim Jeffords to stay in the party. The Democrat party has decided it wants to be the party of the hard left; Republicans need to make up their mind if they want to represent true conservatism or if they want to move to the middle. Republicans need to realize that 91% of Republicans have a favorable opinion of Sarah Palin. She is who we want, not Hagel, not Colon Bowell, not Chaffee, Grahmnesty, or others. This whole strategy of vote for the Republican because he is only half as bad as the liberal Democrat on the ticket isn't working! Selling conservative ideas is - just ask all the faux conservative Democrats who ran in 2006.

I know how you feel. I'm not saying you're wrong, but we will need to work with as many Republicans as we can in order defeat the Dems in 2010.
