One of the troubles is that there seems to be less and less true conservatives throwing their hats into the ring these days. And the ones that do end up getting a “Duncan who?” sort of reaction from the masses.
Last time I looked, unlike what you suggest, the senate votes are public and not behind ones back.
Where did I suggest that Senate votes are held in private? I didn't say much in my earlier posts, and certainly didn't say that. More "creative reading", I guess.
What I meant, and what I thought it was easy enough to understand, is that it's better to have an enemy in front of you, so you know what he's going to do (vote), than an enemy behind you that pretends to be a friend (a Pubbie), but really votes against you (a RINO). By the time the vote takes place, it's too late. The knife is already in your back.
Refer again to Coleman's low C to D grades from the ACU and his C rating from Numbers USA to get an idea of what I consider voting against me/us/the future of the nation.

The first count is always more accurate than the second count. Opinions of the counters are based on known need.
Toujours Pret brother.
“No. Defeat RINOs in the primaries. In general elections RINOs always preferable to Dems and particularly preferable in this case to Al Franken. Politics is about comparative choices. Always.”
Indeed. Right on FRiend, right on.
Marshall the lawyers and full steam ahead. This election has more red flags than a national day of bull fighting in Spain.
Exactly!!
Given the choice between a RINO and a...whatever the hell that other thing is...I’ll take the RINO any day.
...and you'll get the exact results you've gotten since 2006! Are you rino enabler's really this stupid?
I don't want Franken to take this seat, but I sure won't help a party who in effect wants to destroy conservatism from within! This is worse, much worse than getting a loser like Franken and then reestablishing the based to pound the crap out of the liberals in the next election, starting with the primaries. You would think after this last election republicans would learn, but it's constituents like you two that give the party the moniker, The Stupid Party!
Get out if you want to keep voting for rino's and go form your own idiotic, wishy-washy, pansy-ass, party!
Here is the deal, at least according to Dick Morris. Disputed ballots had Xeroxed copies made of them....only problem is that they forgot to mark them as copies...*snicker. har har*. So....they counted all of them so no voter would be disenfranchised. *snicker*
Supposedly thats how they had more votes than voters. The whole thing is a joke, what makes it worse is that people act like there is nothing too odd about that. Makes me wonder if Obama really won via fraud.
I believe ACORN could have committed that much fraud.

REID = liberal-fascist in chief!
This man and alii are a disgrace for US democracy and BTW bipartisanship is an hoax launched to weaken and divide “Republicans”.
McCAIN and hese kinds are free to change political side
I don’t recall the names but, IIRC, they were part of the Hollywood crowd and said he should not be elected.
Exactly the attitude of the 4 million "Republican" no-shows who judged McCain as a RINO and handed the Presidency to one Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
P.S. McCain is an outrageous RINO, and ran a very dumb campaign ... but Americans are supposed to be smart enough to figure out the Two-Party System and deal with it by voting for the "lesser of two evils." Perhaps the punitive stay-at-home "Republicans" will admit the error of their ways when our Magic Marxist Mulatto announces his first Supreme Court nomination, or builds a minaret on the WH lawn.
this didn’t help Normy ,either:
Coleman supports auto bailout with protections
MINNEAPOLIS—As members of Congress gear up for a discussion this week on whether to bailout Detroit automakers, Sen. Norm Coleman says he would support a plan if it included certain protections for taxpayers.
Coleman says in a written statement that Congress should insist that Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC work on developing new vehicles that function on new energy resources.
He says the automakers need to change their business models and ensure that labor unions are part of the solution.

Reid to Coleman: Don’t pursue it...
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/01/coleman_to_speak_today_what_will_he_do.php
I can’t believe that nutcase Franken could have won. But I guess NY is no better.....
All I was saying was that -- given that the only choice is between a semi-RINO (Coleman isn't really all that much of one) and a complete idiot leftist RAT, I'll bite the bullet and vote for Coleman.
Same thing with McCain. I bit the bullet and voted for him (the addition of Palin to the ticket made that decision easier). The goal was to stop Obama from getting the post, and any other vote would have been a throwaway. Alas, the outcome was not what I wanted, but at least it was through no fault of mine.
Finally, I think you might have the wrong idea as to who needs to go form their own party. Rather than the RINO supporters (of which I am not one) forming their own party, the conservatives need to form their own party because the Republican Party has strayed way too far and shows no real signs (outside of maybe a few hopefuls) of getting back to its traditional roots.
After Jesse Ventura anything's possible by them.
