Good riddance of the man who principally helped wreck the GOP, along with Bush and the other RINOs.

[BGHater]

Him and Jeb in 2012. :(

[rabscuttle385]

PWN3D!

Now...if he pulls a Larry Craig on the GOP...

[A. Morgan]

Another RINO bites the dust!

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

A Republican party official says U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida will not seek a second term in 2010.

That's most awesome news of the week so far.

[Cicero]

Good riddance. Although maybe we should wait and see what kind of RINO tool they come up with to replace him before we cheer too loudly.

[Cheetahcat]

Since when is this traitor a Republican?

[pallis]

Okenyan will accomplish Mel’s political goals. RINOs can go home now.

[FreeAmerica2009]

Now, lets rebuild the Florida GOP - yes, we are in control here, but Crist and Martinez aren’t CONSERVATIVE!! (Adam Putnam for Senate!!)

[JSDude1]

Housing and Urban Development- that explains it all; that federal department can ONLY breed RINOS!..

[Red Reign]

Thank God! I’ve been hoping for this since about 2 months after I voted for him! Good riddance, to yet another sellout Rino!

[Unicorn]

If true best news today,big time.

[Joe Boucher]

Please GOD,let it be true.
Just this morning I wrote the turd a nasty letter to his senate e-mail.

Told him what a disgrace he is.
Amnesty loving p.o.s.

[Oldpuppymax]

Now we need to elect a conservative in Florida, not a traitor. The weasel knew he wouldn’t be re-elected, after having spent 6 years betraying the nation and the people of Florida. Only democrats can make a career of that and never have to worry about the next election!

[adorno]

Mel Martinez won't seek re-election

Hey, there's a good chance that a republican can pick up that seat!

[SIDENET]

Bye, Mel, you loser!

Now GTFO.

[SuziQ]

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make the announcement.

This person needs to be kicked to the curb. I'm sick and tired of folks leaking things to reporters in, I'm sure, a 'suck-up' attempt.

Thanx for the post.That made my day.While the McCain/Kennedy(amnesty bill)was being discussed in DC,i attempted to reach Mel’s office several times to express my extreme displeasure.No one anwsered the phone-he didn’t even have voice mail.Same thing with our other senator(Nelson-Dem)-no one anwsered the phone,but at least he had voice mail,and i was able to leave a message.
