I’m totally on board with all of these. It’s long past time to put these spineless traitors on notice.

agree. Brown in ma is ok, the main targets should be red state rinos. Lugar is number 1 target.

Brown is toast anyway. He should get the willful neglect treatment from conservatives. Not a dime should be spent to re-elect him. The Dems will take him out in 2012.

Better an enemy in front of us than a traitor behind us.

Graham was not given a pass, he is not up for reelection until 2014. This TP group has targets for 2012.

Olympia Snowe, R-Maine

And her twin sister is chopped liver? Collins should also be booted and they should take Murkowski with them!

Arlen Jr. believes in the repeal of DADT.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/255461/toomey-support-dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal-daniel-foster

He did not have to say anything, but he wanted everyone to know before he actually takes office, that he is a flaming RINO. Pat “Do it” Toomey, possibly the 2nd coming of Arlen Sphincter.

“the RAT Party wouldn’t have survived the first years of this century,”

You mean like GWBush never enforcing the Beck decision that would have defunded the Democrats? That kind of fool?

AZ...re-elected him this past election...so I’d say when he goes the way of Murtha, since AZ keep electing McRino.

Still, Kay’s not out till Kay says she’s out! People here still think she is “conservative.”

I imagine Toomey is having a “fit of compassion” for poor Arlen having to leave. 2010 is not 2004. I am sure he will disappoint conservatives time and time again, Toomey that is!

I will give Brown a big pass: he is the only Republican in congress from Massachusetts and they keep voting in Barney Frank! Luger has been a disgrace for a long time. He has to go.

Why? Because he is a lot better than Barney and his Franks! And let’s not forget that Ted supported partial birth abortion!

Don’t you read the news. McCain was re-elected this year.

Hint: the U.S. Constitution allows senators to have six-year terms. Now, make your own conclusion.

"far too much of a gentelman for this war

I'd phrase that his draft dodger lacks the stomach for a fight. He started off as a Reagan Republican but his proclivity for friendships with bad people clouds his judgement.
