You named ONE RINO there ~ Arlen Specter. Some of the others are fairly typical of what had been the Republican base in the otherwise Roosevelt North East.

You probably forgot to read the memo from Ronaldus Magnus that said "11th commandment" ~ "never speak ill of other Republicans".

He made an error in that ~ he was in an environment where there were too many Republicans ready to speak ill of him.

BTW, we still haven't solved the NE problem ~ we get a few offices here and there and then Republicans elsewhere sniff and move on.

Half of the people I named are no longer Republicans EVEN in name including Specter.

>> Some of the others are fairly typical of what had been the Republican base in the otherwise Roosevelt North East. <<

Most of them are from USED to be solidly Republican states, until they destroyed the Republican party, with every bit of intent and malice they could muster.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, without exception, has done everything they could to defeat conservatives. And I’m not allowed to criticize them for it? Perhaps you should put Reagan in context when you quote him.

Other former Democrats: Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich.

So, you would support Jim Jeffords, Lowell Weicker, and Lincoln Chafee because they weren’t *really* RINOs, even though they left the Republican Party, but you wouldn’t support Reagan or Limbaugh, because they’re former Democrats.

I’m beginning to suspect how you became such an expert on those magical mushrooms you’re always talking about ;^D

All those "solidly Republican states" have been almost certainly solidly Democrat since Roosevelt was elected in 1932.

What you see are states that had a viable but not dominant Republican party, and it was forced by circumstances to TOLERATE a good number of RINOs running for office as Republicans due to the lack of popular Republicans.

Again, you are so far from the truth!

These states were the backbone of the Republican Party right up through, and including, the Reagan-Bush years. Reagan, Nixon, and hell, even Gerald Ford won Lowell Weicker’s Connecticut, James Jefford’s Vermont, Bob Packwood’s Oregon, Lincoln Chafee’s Rhode Island, Christine Todd Whitman’s New Jersey.

Why did these states turn so blue? Because they electorate was so pro-abortion? Nonsense! While I was living in Massachusetts in the 1990s, even the DEMOCRAT leaders of both houses were pro-life. Bill Weld and Lowell Weicker BOTH ran against pro-life Democrats! It’s because their Republican leadership treated conservatives as neanderthalic idiots.

the pro abortion tone you allude to was completely absent from the tea party convention i attended last year....instead...anti abortion rhetoric was at full tilt
