Any time a mushy pile of crap like Sununu runs in a GOP primary against a solid man like Smith, it is in the nation's best interest for the voters to support the man over the mush. Period. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that certain establishment Republicans and their FReeper butt buddies wish to continue ad nauseum -- Putting up a mushy RINO and then whining because principled voters couldn't bring themselves to pull the lever for the lesser of two evils. Losing elections by forcing principled people to stay home appears to be the future of the GOP. How unfortunate.

Very well stated. Why do so many Freepers refuse to support conservatives in their primary races. Most of the mushy moderate Sununu supporters who oppose conservative hero, Bob Smith, are the same people who celebrated and partied when Bob Barr bit the dust and moderate John Linder beat him. What do these Sununu-Linder supporters have in common you ask? They always back the most liberal RINO candidates and oppose the more conservative candidates in the primary. They are part and parcel of the same RINO crowd that backed Bush's handpicked candidate, RINO Dick Riorden for Governor of California, a pro-abortion pro-gay leftwing extremist to the left of Bill Clinton because they said that his more conservative primary opponents couldn't win. If Sununu wins this one, they will merrily dance on Bob Smith's political grave. If Sununu loses as I pray he does, it will be a dark day for RINOism indeed and a smashing victory for conservatism which will offset the loss of Bob Barr in the House.

No, you insist on throwing labels where they don't belong. There is a HUGE difference between Simon and Riordan. Huge! The same cannot be said for Smith vs. Sununu or Barr vs. Linder. Yet you are not objective enough to simply say "I much prefer Candidate A!" You have to tear down Candidate B.

The power to change the GOP resides within those of us who refuse to go along with the leftward march by voting for inferior candidates. I will never apologize for promoting change within the GOP by withholding my support of candidates who will quicken the pace of said march, regardless of the foolish spasms of certain satisfied Kool-Aid drinkers.
