They left out JD Hayworth, Arizona Senate.
Ten?! I didn’t know Cosmo had had so many centerfolds!
And this is just the beginning!
How does he differ from the one we have already (Burris)?
Kelly Ayotte is the real deal here in NH. She is our Palin.
She will crush Hodes.
2 RINOS I see
Named...?
Which 2? Kirk and Castle?
Kirk and Castle
There will never be a better time to get rid of Dave Obey in WI-7. Sean Duffy has a good chance if he can raise the money. Young, intelligent, husband and father of 6. He’s a DA AND a lumberjack! We have given to him several times and will continue to do so. We need a Duffy Moneybomb!
Maybe Chuck De Vore will be the Scott Brown of California.
They left off Charles Djou, Hawaii. Special election coming up, a free-for-all for the Democrats, Djou is the only Republican. Neil Abercrombie’s seat is open as he’s running for governor (God forbid!!!)
Our congressional RINOs have at least proven to be better to have in Congress than Democrats. All of the pro-life Democrats caved on health care. Even our RINOs stood firm.
Mike Castle and Mike Kirk are not conservatives, are they?
This is an important fact that some of the more hardline Freepers fail to grasp.
Nope.
Kirk belongs to groups that include the Republican Majority for Choice and Republicans for Environmental Protection which probably are not hotbeds of conservative thought.
Hayworth has more common sense that McNasty
The Time article about Kelly Ayotte was more about her Dem opponent, Paul Hodes, than about Kelly.
Here’s Ayotte’s Web site:
