A better tactic: I wrote to the RNC and let it be known that I would not financially support them if they did not ensure that party members were COMMITTED to live according to conservative principles. Here in Tennessee, the Republicans just booted a turncoat out of the party.
“Here in Tennessee, the Republicans just booted a turncoat out of the party.”
Won’t happen in Maine, in great measure because the only way the GOP will have a seat on the delegation is if Snowe and Collins sit in them. The right wing of the GOP in Maine is a pretty pathetic, frankly laughable bunch, mostly from away, and a group which never misses an opportunity to tell the rest of Maine how to live, civilly and religiously. If, by some miracle, they were actually to succeed in booting out Collins and/or Snowe, the senators would simply return to DC as independents...probably with even larger margins than before.
I can tell you this, from what I hear, Mainers are having a grand time watching Republican leadership and radio personalities’ heads explode over all of this.
