PING!
“Ex-GOP” is right. They’re commie ‘RATS now.
D-bags.
GOPe, one degree of separation from the Democrats.
Yet McConnell says groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Madison Project are working against a republican majority.
There will be no gnashing of teeth against Warner and Lugar, for to moderate republicans, in a race between a conservative and a democrat, the democrat is the “lesser of two evils.”
Behavior which proves that GOPe = DNC
This is the kind of thing we can expect from John McCain in 2016.
These two have always been somewhere between Democrat and RINO on the political scale.
Part of the self “Anointed Elites” as Thomas Sowell so correctly describes them.
Talk about the mother of all oxymorons...
He was Elizabeth Taylor's sixth husband.
He was GOP-e from the gitgo, always referred to by the MSM as a "moderate" and a "bi-partisan" senator.
....and we know what that means.
He is 87 years old. I thought he was locked away years ago.
He should have been.

Cornyn likely heavily backed these two b0z0s.
Guys like Lugar & Warner are more dishonest & disgusting than democrat liars like Schumer & Feinstein. At least the latter two are honest with their own constituents.
From the Nixon Watergate tapes, a discussion of a prospective nominee for Secretary of the Navy - Nixon: “Hell, any ******* can do that job; we even had JOHN WARNER do it”. Also, a statement from the Democratic State Chairman in Virginia the day after the 1976 election, when JOHN WARNER narrowly beat Dem Andy Miller on the strength of the celebrity of his then-wife Elizabeth Taylor - “well, the good citizens of Virginia just elected the three biggest boobs in the State to the Senate”. I am in agreement with both Nixon and the Dem official.
The next time I get a call from these commie RINO’s, I will pick up but this time to just tell them to piss off!!
The GOP does not stand for anything other than governing. Therefore the elites have no loyalty. Lugar and Warner are really no different than other turncoats - Jeffords, Chaffee, and Specter. They do what is expedient.
If the Republicans win the Senate it would not surprise me if we have a repeat of 2001 when Jim Jeffords switched to independent and began caucusing with the Democrats to break the 50/50 tie in the Senate. If the Republicans end up with a 51 seat majority after the 2014 elections, Reid and Obama will be promising the wobbliest RINO’s all sorts of perks to come to their side or minimally switch to independent and caucus with the Dems. McCain would probably switch in a heartbeat if the media insiders quietly whispered to him he would no longer be on the Sunday talk show circuit unless he did the right thing and switched parties. Graham would likely follow his master. Susan Collins is another Republican, from a Democrat state, who could switch.
Until the party has an ideology and vision all of its members subscribe to it will be vulnerable to defection. Contrast today’s wobbly GOP with the Democrats. The elite power structure in the Dem party is 100% committed to the socialist state. Its members vote in lock step on every issue. They are true believers with a passion for forcing their vision on the country.
Most of today’s GOP leaders are a bunch of country clabbers who just want to get along. They have no vision, no passion, and no desire for a fight. For them, it is enough to enjoy the perks and not make waves. Notice the last GOP president had no stomach for a fight against his opposition. Better to get along and lose than to fight and save the country. He and his family continue to be silent while the country goes to hell.
We are living through the consequences of the behavior.
When has John Warner endorsed any Republican other than himself? I would think that the late Elizabeth Taylor endorsed more Republicans than John Warner did.
With “Republicans” like that, who needs Democrats? Just ONE MORE reason to primary RINO’s. RINO’s will stab you in the back repeatedly.
Todd Akin was NOT a Tea party candidate!!!!
The tea Party supported John Brunner(sp)and Sara Steelman.
