liberal republicans can't win. That's been proven.

Whaddaya mean they can't win? You just rattled off the number 14.

Some states can give you conservative Senators, some can't even elect RINOs. It's all about the cityRATs, college freaks and union-thugs. The House is completely different.

Senators are there for at least 6 years, so sometimes you just have to work with what you got, and hope strong conservatives can prevail in caucus.

We'll see come November. If McConnell, an incumbent, and in a leadership position, is only able to brag about 4%, it looks like they might not do so well.

They can beat conservatives in a rigged primary, but can they beat Dems, who really play hard-ball?

I don't think so.

I won't be voting for Cornyn. I'll be on the streets and on the phones, campaigning against him in the general.

Bad form, that... not supporting the liberal republican in the general election? Too bad. It works.

It just dawned on me. You don't even have a clue who they are... They weren't all liberal republicans.

They were:

Robert Byrd (D) WV
Lincoln Chafee (R) RI
Susan Collins (R) ME
Mike Dewine (R) OH
Lindsey Graham (R) SC
Daniel Inouye (D) Hawaii
Mary Landrieu (D) LA
Joe Lieberman (you remember him, right?) (D) CT (at that point... he was honest and switched)
John McCain (R) AZ(hole)
Ben Nelson (D) NE
Mark Pryor (D) Arkansas
Ken Salazar (D) CO
Olympia Snow(job) (R), ME again. Detect a pattern?
John Warner (R) VA

You really had no clue about who those people were in relation to the gang of 14.

It was 14 liberals, Dems and Pubs, that wanted to keep control of the Senate in Dem hands.

Talk about low information.
