“Other than the “liberal female” you don’t have a name for”
Lisa Murkowski Please check her background
“while I dislike many of the positions of at least two of those three candidates, and would like to see them primaried away, I wouldn’t call any of them ‘RINOS’”
McCain
Graham not RINO’s? Are you joking?
Hatch has moved decidedly towards big goverment the past decade. You might argue this one, but he is not a consevative.
Murkowski is most decidedly a RINO.
Neither McCain nor Graham would fit in at all in the Democratic party. Even when they disagree with the conservatives on something, they rarely are on board with the liberal version of things.
We can do better in both states — so we should. But I’d hope that any of us would jump at the chance to replace a democrat with either of those two. Heck, we’d jump at the chance to replace the two Maine senators with these two.
individuals can be extremists. They can be absolutists. Everybody has that right. a party won’t survive if it is made up solely of extremists and purists. We should certainly rant against policies that are wrong, no matter who is pushing them, but if you can’t beat these guys in primaries, and you decide to turn their seats over to democrats, it won’t make things better.
