That assclown Hanna’s ACU rating for 2011 was a 40... a stinking 40!
There are rats with better ratings than that.
To: Hojczyk
What a shocker, ButtFeed trying to make the GOP-e look anything but “moderate” or even in any way conservative.

The split of the Tea Party from the GOP (and consignment of the latter to Whig status) is inevitable.
It’s a question of when, not if.
To: Buckeye McFrog
Why does it seem like the deadline for that is way overdue . . . ?

...to give deferential treatment to our extremes in this moment in history, Hanna told the Post-Standard.
The "extremes" is probably 70% of your constituents, Hanna. You're in the mushy minority.
I would give deferential treatment to them too.

Okay.. And LaTourette’s ACU rating for 2011 was less than 67.
The guy’s another rat.

The country is in desperate need of bold actions and the Vichy GOP are the last to seek bold action.

Hanna has been very clear about his stands from his first run for office - he’s a right-leaning independent who runs as a Republican in a NY swing district. Disagree with him on issues but at least he’s open and honest about his beliefs, in contrast to those who talk conservative but push ‘moderation’ behind the scenes.
To: philman_36
The "extremes" is probably 70% of your constituents, Hanna. You're in the mushy minority. Maybe true, but the "extremes" in his district are mostly liberal. He gets elected by a modest number of conservatives and a lot of mushy moderates.
To: Skulllspitter
hes open and honest about his beliefs
Actually, he's toast now. LOL

Republican Moderates Tire The main reason RINO Olympia Snowe gave for leaving in disgust, was the constant criticism of her working with the RATs. She was always touting her "independent spirit" and frequently betrayed her Republican base.
Now, here in Maine, we find out she refuses to help the GOP candidate running for her former seat because "he didn't endorse her in February" before she quit.
The Senate candidate, Charlie Summers, was serving as Maine's Secretary of State, and probably was correct in not taking a partisan position.

Afterall, he IS a Mormon, which I believe naturally trends toward "strict" conservatism. In fact, you may be dumb-struck with his real conservatism. How do you explain "Dingy" Harry Reid?
To: Hojczyk
RINOs present as much of a danger as re-electing Obama.
Until they are ‘liberated’ back to their districts , we are all at peril of more getting jerked around and little to slow much less stop our crumbling foundations from continuing to do so.. If that is extreme, so be it.
To: cripplecreek
Actually, he's toast now. LOL No loss. I just wish there were more Hanna moderates in Congress instead of so many moonbat liberals. At least the moderates or pragmatists - say, Simpson & Bowles - aren't actively intent on destroying the country and sometimes will go along with common sense reforms.
To: Skulllspitter

"Moderates" are lying, manipulative, bottom feeding scum. Nothing but democrats who don't have the courage to be democrats. Anyone who wants to moderate needs to be a democrat and moderate the party that actually needs it. The GOP has been moderated into a coma and the moderates are doing nothing but trying to drain the last life out of the patry.
They are nothing but toilet bowl scrapings and I openly invite them to go elsewhere.

They should form their own moderate third party, or join the Democrats. Some might be a bit slow, but the GOP did that years ago.
