I am one of those broken glass Republicans that absolutely nothing will keep me from voting and I no longer consider voting anything but a straight Republican ticket. I used to consider other candidates locally -- didn't vote for them but I did consider them. Now if there is not an (R) behind their name, they don't get my vote. I won't even vote for a RAT if no one else is running -- I leave it blank!

Which gives us Republicans like Jeffords, Chaffee, Specter, Snowe, McCain, et al. Great.

It is fascinating that you are obviously proud that you've eliminated every element of critical thinking skills from the most important public act that you participate in.

You really don't get it! I don't live in New England, I gave you Senators Nickles and Inhofe!

The Republican Party is not listed as the Conservative Party if you haven't noticed! I am a Republican, always have been, and I will not vote for 3rd Party types or Indy's who spoil elections because the person running is not Conservative enough for the ultra right.

I got news for you, Snowe and Collins are the type of Republicans that win in Maine that gives us two additional seats in the Senate. They vote more conservative then 99% of the RATs so I have no problem. You see I think our Party is better off to have divergent views and not be little robots. There are some conservative principles touted on here that I don't agree with -- one of those is staying home if the Republican doesn't do what some people want. That is self-defeating.

I will take a Lincoln Chaffee even though I don't agree with him because when the chips are down and we really need that vote, he will be there 99% of the time. All the Republicans from the NE are voting with us on the Senate judicial nominations.

If I lived in New England, used to BTW, I would still vote for the Republican over any RAT. I want Republicans running that can win. The Party has already become more conservative over time and a lot more conservative than the RATs. It will continue to shift right, but you have to get out and get good conservative candidates at the lower levels first. Some of you want the leap overnight and it is not going to happen that way!
