Congrat to you PA conservatives!. Your message to these two RINO"S and will be felt nationwide. It should be coming clear to national Pols, that there is an angry conservative base waiting to vote the rest of the rino's out.
Thanks for the hard work u did in PA>

I agree that this is a big story, but I think there's more to it than just anti-RINO sentiment. Is suspect these results are tied mainly to the heavy anti-incumbent sentiment in Pennsylvania.

It could be. Admittedly, I'd like to use this as propaganda to accomplish two purposes.
1) Encourage the demoralized members of the conservative movement to work within the GOP and get aggressive local to chase Lincoln Chaffee, and others of his ilk, out. I may get into flame wars with a few Freepers, but I'd much rather have an FR warrior than a RINO covering my 6 any day of the week.
2) Send the pink-weiners who repeatedly go as far left as they can while still maintaining the pretense of being conservative via a GOP membership to cut the manure and get straight with the people that voted them in.
Every primary should be at the very least a cursory job interview. Whether you currently hold that job or not, I still want to know if you really want it....

Because this is the primary season? And these are state reps, not federal.
This looks to be more about taxes and abortion than immigration anyway.

Sounds like great news! What's the flavor of their respective districts? Conservative or RINO leaning?

Probably Conservative. RINOs start out as better true believers than they remain after several terms in office.

I guess he did say the entire GOP needed to learn the lesson. I was referring to the representatives in the article when I mentioned they were state not federal reps.

Being from Pa. this bunch of arrogant bums gave themselves a huge pay raise-one of those middle of the night deals.Then they had the stones to be surprised that the voters were pissed.

Do you know what happened in Aichele vs. Dinneman?
Can't find a thing.
To: digger48
Primaries are the best way to shut down the RINOs, I think, because they have such a low turnout usually. If we get the base out we can win the victories where they count, in the primary! Of course we need viable conservative candidates to do it.

I remember reading about that. Didn't the Young Republicans put out ads calling them on it?

No, it's about an an unconstitutional middle-of-the-night pay grab, and a bunch of unrepentant legislators who think they are our overlords. Well, yes our runaway taxes have a lot to do with it too.
Every one of these clowns who was ousted lost to a more conservative Republican opponent. Of course Dems being Dems, huffed and puffed but only booted a handful of theirs, but again for more conservative old school types.
The RINO hunt is on!

PA Young Conservatives. They've been awesome. Their radio spots against Chip Brightbill were hilarious and scathing.

You are correct. It's across party lines for the folks here. Incumbents sold us out, Democrat and Republican. There's not much of a difference anymore. Just about every newspaper in this state was on the "vote out the bums" bandwagon, and it was pretty successful. Now we just need to get rid of Gov.Cheesesteak, former Philly mayor. He was good at running a corrupt eastern city, but god-awful at being governor.
