Actually, there is a great similarity between Judas Jeffords and John Warner. The difference is that Judas can get away with more in Vermont than Warner can in Virginia. Warner has repeatedly demonstrated as a sitting United States Senator his abject refusal to give loyalty to the GOP. Naturally those who imagine themselves "pragmatic" then demand that those Republicans who put principle first cave in and reward Warner for his career of apostasy which includes torpedoing Bork and torpedoing Ollie North.

RINO Party Line: The unwashed New Right types simply must be made to understand that a man of social stature like John Warner simply would not be able to hold his head up in the Virginia hunt country society if he had not done in Bork much less Ollie North. Neither were born into the best sorts of families you know and they really have no business in the party of the foxhunting Warners. Muffy and Skipper will support John Warner. He's one of US!!!!

Are we now hearing on a conservative website that insisting on conservative principle equates to wearing a tin foil chapeau? Well, to those old enough to remember the joy of resisting the likes of Nelson Rockefeller and punishing Gerald Ford for dallying with him, consider the source of such remarks, each and every source, and remember the screen names just in case they ever seem to make sense.

Most people posting here are motivated by principle and not by a burning desire for jobs and contracts. Being a Republican is not a principle. Being a conservative is a matter of principle.
