If we have to have a RINO, I prefer McCain.
Bush was stopped in amnesty and McCain can be stopped too.
He does need a real conservative should he win the nomination.
May I suggest Thune?
Are you kidding? Thune has been utterly disappointing.
Thune won his Senate seat by going after the fact that Tom Dasshole was an obstructionist who held the Senate hostage and backstabbed the President if he didn't get his pork... then after Thune won, he turned obstructionist, held the Senate hostage on several occasions, and backstabbed the President to make demands for his pork.
Thune may have a conservative voting record, but he'll no longer get my support for future campaigns. He has become the thing he campaigned against.
Alot of us from outside SD worked hard to elect Thune to the Senate, and we didn't do it to get Dasshole lite. Thune told SD that they could replace their Senator and do better. Time for Thune to find out SD can replace him and "do better" too.
It's a heavily Republican state. Now that we don't have a RAT incumbant to take out, Thune is easily expendable. If he doesn't shape up we'll have to find a Republican who knows that stopping "obstructionism" is more than just a campaign slogan.
