Thanks. I’ll take a crack at writing a post about it after my granddaughter goes home on Sunday.
AGAIN
Define RINO.
You cant.
Was Bush a RINO?
It’s a : “I know one when I see one”, issue.
One that put Obama and Ayers in control of our nation.
So you could feel better on a chat board.
Not getting banned is a greater issue to guys like you than keeping Obama/Ayers/Soros types out.
You must be night proud of your holiness and purity that had McCain lose to Obama /Ayers and Soros.
Ms. Scozzafava was not the best hope for North Country Republicans and her selection by a handful of county chairs was another example of the dangers of making big decisions in the rarified air of so called executive session.
She got the nod because it was her "turn" and the assumption was she could mop the floor with this unknown Plattsburgh attorney who was his party's third choice for the nomination.
I like Sarah but I have my doubts. She may be more about selling books right now - like Newt was doing. My concern with her is that she lost a debate to Joe Biden (for crying out loud). It could be attributed to her servitude to the candidacy of McCain. We shall see.
Judging only by what I’ve seen/found thus far, I’ve not seen anything yet that convinces me that he is not still a conservative icon. I’ve googled. I’ve binged. I’m just not finding the negatives that several freepers have mentioned. And hey, it’s not like it’s my first time surfing the net (not a cyber virgin either).
He screwed up by endorsing Dede, but his endorsement would have been there for anyone the Reps picked. His enviro ad was pretty bland. It’s not like he came out in favor of carbon credits, Cap & Trade or any Al Goreish BS.
(still not convinced)
There we go!!! official permission. Does that mean we can mention Free Republic in our letters?
Do you happen to have the names of those Republicans and/or a link? I couldn’t find anything.
He is politically tone deaf.
Hope this helps. I got this by googling. http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/17017/ny-23-scozzafava-tapped-as-gop-candidate/
No. It's not. You do know that the Republican Party has "planks" or beliefs. Basic things that they support as a party. Rinos vote with Dems more often than their own party and they back lib crap like GW.
Yeah. you googled and you binged...and?

Ben Smith’s Blog: Rush whacks Newt: ‘He wishes they were running ...Newt Gingrich is out
A RINO is a Republican who either does not abide by the constitution or at a minimum is off the official Republican party platform more than he’s on it.
And, yes, Bush was a RINO. As is Romney, Rudy, McCain, Huckabee, Graham, Snowe, Collins, Arnold and many others.
I supported Bush even though he was a RINO and gave in to Arnold at the last minute, even went with McCain after he gave us Sarah (and ONLY because of Sarah). Never again!
It’s been proven over and over again that the two-faced lying liberal reach around RINO will screw you in the end every time!
That’s what the Tea Party rebellion is all about!
NO MORE BIG GOVERNMENT!! NO MORE SOCIALISTS!! And NO MORE RINOS!!
And there’s the rub. There’s the confusion and the conflict. What to do? Support the GOP because supporting a third party always spells defeat for conservatives? Or hold your nose and vote for the nearest and dearest RINO candidate (that the DemocRats picked in the Republican primary due to Republican stupidity).
Seems to me like....the only thing Newt did was the exact SAME thing most of us freepers did in ‘08. We held our noses and voted for the RINO Republican ANYway cause we KNEW the kind of disaster not doing that would result in (like Newt’s message said...and was spot-on, as it turns out).
Sooooo...I take it that all of you guys that are accusing and blaming Newt for endorsing a RINO either didn’t vote in ‘08.... OR you voted DemocRat? Is that correct?
If it means throwing the bums out, HELL YES!!
How about if you, Kim, bcsco, hiredhand and I write the thread to be posted? My 6 year old granddaughter is here so I won’t get anything done tonight. Tomorrow maybe?
Did you or did you not vote for McCain in ‘08?

Gingrich is willing to overlook Scozzafava’s support for same-sex marriage and abortion rights.
“The Republican Revolution in 1994 started very much like what we see today,” Gingrich said in his statement of support for the Republican. “Like then, our country is reeling from misguided liberal policies, high taxes and out-of-control spending. This special election in New York’s 23rd Congressional District could be the first election of the new Republican Revolution, but we need the momentum to get it started.”
Armey, who runs one of the major Tea Party organizing efforts, in endorsing Conservative Hoffman, told Redstate.com: “We [Republicans] win when we are us. We lose when we are Democrat lite. “We attract people by being small government conservatives,” Big Government Republicans, I would tell the Republican Party leadership it cannot win if it insists
And do you believe in a secret ballot? What gives you the right to demand to know who someone voted for?!
