Just as we are grinning at the ongoing fissures developing between the radical Progressives and mainstream Democrats, they are salivating at potential fractures in the GOP between the Tea Party Conservatives and the RINOs.

To reiterate, I eschew RINOs and I want as many Conservatives as possibly in office as possible. But RINOs have a presence in the Northeast — as even Scott Brown shows to some degree. I expect to see mainstream Democrats run against and beat Progressive incumbents in some purple states this November.

From the 2010 Elections, I'd like to see the GOP — or at least an anti-Obama, Conservative coalition with the help of Blue Dog Democrats — push beyond a simple majority and wield a VETO-OVERRIDE majority starting in January 2011. We're going to need to team up to push back Obama’s initiatives this year.

The best way to do that is to distinguish ourselves from the Democrats, while finding common ground with at least some of the less-Conservative segments of the Republican Party.

I’m with you. I can work with Blue Dogs and RINOs. Southern Dems are often more conservative than Republicans in other parts of the nation — but we have in common a love for this country and our way of life. We CAN work together.

Re: Scott Brown. I may get brickbats for saying this, but I hope FReepers will be gentle with him and let him do his job.

He was elected by moderates and liberals to best represent the people of the state of Massachusetts. If Brown does a good job, he may well have a place on the national table in the future. However, for now, no matter how many of us cheered him on and sent him money, his job is to represent the wishes of his constituents.

That means he may not always vote the way we’d like him to, and we need to understand that.

I’m interested in defusing the Obama agenda and exterminating the cockroaches in the White House. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I can work with anyone toward a passionate common cause.

“As much as I despise RINOs, we need to realize that forcing them to leave the GOP on the national level may likely set up in 2012 a historical repeat of 1912 and 1992 — allowing the Progressive candidate to win the Presidency. It will be a balancing act, in the months and years ahead leading into 2012, to restore Conservatism to the GOP, while not forcing these less-Conservative elements of the Republican Party to feel shut out and fail to vote with the Conservatives.”

BP2, with the exception of a few very liberal and deceitful RINOs, (McCain, Graham, Voinovich, Chaffee, Specter, Jeffords, Collins, Snowe,) we are not trying to force out those whose values MOSTLY comport with the stated platform of the GOP.

The people I mentioned have a proven track record of betraying us over and over and over, delivering us into the hands of our enemies at the most crucial junctures when we desperately needed them. Every one of these people has been the last vote the liberals needed to pass a bill that screwed the entire country at least once, and in some instances, many times MORE than once. They have repeatedly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and that is why we are in the situation we are in now.

Of ALL of them, TWO have switch parties. Jeffords’ switch gave over an entire election that we spent blood and tears on to achieve a majority in the senate and gave a ONE vote majority to the democrats so we could not assure our Supreme Court Judges would be Conservatives and Constitutional Constructionists.
Specter swiched and gave the democrats the same edge, a ONE vote majority.

Collins, Snowe, and Chaffee could be counted on to give the dems a victory regardless of whether they had a majority or not.
McCain is a vindictive meglomaniac and can be counted on to sell us out at the drop of a hat. He has taken Soros money, runs as a Conservative, then does everything in his power to defeat Conservatives.
You can NOT fault us for wanting to rid ourselves of these traitors.

Look at the race in Florida. Crist and Rubio. Crist is a flaming liberal but McCain backs him a hundred per. We are trying as hard as we can to RUN Conservatives in PRIMARIES and defeat these guys before they ever get the nomination. We already know that voting for an “R” will NOT guarantee they will vote “R” once they are elected.
We can’t afford them anymore.

I don’t usually disagree with you, but this time, I am saying that if we fail to drive the RINOs, who are NOT even CLOSE to Conservatives out of the party, then we have more worries than just obama because they have shown us time and again that they are liberals and will vote for liberal agendas regardless of what letter is after their names.

WE did not “split” the party. THEY did. They infiltrated and destroyed us from within. This is war, BP. And they have set a price on our souls to sell us out far too cheaply. I am not willing to pay that price anymore. With them in place, we lose anyway.
Nothing we do now could make things any worse than voting for more of the same.
