“So, does this mean he knows he can’t beat Toomey in the primary?”

the proverbial “writing on the wall”...

LOL. He’s about to go down in the primary, so what does he have to lose? He’s been a thorn in the GOP’s side for decades now.

We won’t win unless we field candidates who can win a district or statewide election in a particular state...how will you feel in November of 2010 if Toomey loses? We can’t keep losing...there is never complete agreement on issues in any successful party...the dems have their blue dogs and the majority...the blue dogs vote with them most of the time. The Dems are advancing their socialistic agenda while we sit on the sidelines. We have to win!

The political elite in Washington don’t care about the peole they represent. They care only about holding office! The survival of self-interest!

Both parties! Just look at the scum Obama took from the Clintons to run his little scam! Most politicians these days are looking like a bunch of self centered, arrogant idiots! They don't care about anything but getting reelected. And look at the crap that runs their offices. It's even worse!

In his statement, he says: “For example, my position on Employees Free Choice (Card Check) will not change.”

This is good. As long as that’s settled, good riddence....

“Upon request, I will return campaign contributions contributed during this cycle.”

He could return all of the money donated by conservatives from his change purse.

Good. Let’s put the cards on the table so there aren’t these hidden democrats in the republican party.

Let’s now invite Snowe, Collins, McCain, etc. to switch over as well.

Give America a choice between a liberal and a conservative party. And let the liberals own the results of their agenda so all can see.

We have to keep the pressure on the rest of the rinos!! We cannot keep sending them back. I hope every one of the skunks gets voted out. Impose our own term limits! Good or bad they need to all go.

I know this goes contrary to many peoples ideals if they love their rep, however, with a 9% approval rating for congress, there are so few good ones that, in this election, we need to throw them all out. The states that have excellent representation will have no problem finding another good rep, they grow them good, and it is for the good of the country. The ones who have bad representation will have more motivation to get them out if they know everybody is doing the same, and people like pelosi and reid, if left in due to the area they represent, will have NO pull or power. All the newbies will have had to fight to get there, and will know why they are there, the PEOPLE have spoken.

We need term limits in congress, and until we get them, we need to make them happen.

smerconish kept hammering that it was likely due to the GOP’s tilt to the far right, which has turned off a lot of moderate voters

That is pure BS! It's the other way around. It's due to the fact that Republicans are acting like Democrats instead of Republicans that's turning people off! Just look at what ran for a so-called Republican President last time. How did that turn out for us?! It wasn't until Sarah Palin joined McCain that he got a shot in the arm (so to speak)! Can you imagine what his numbers would have been without her? Obama landslide.

Term limits have been ruled unconstitutional by the Supremes. Let’s fight winnable battles.
