They should not replace him with dole.
North Carolina GOP to conservative Republicans:
"You're going to have Liddy Dole as your Senate candidate and you're going to like it!"
.
Folks,
The fix is in. The powers that be have decided.
Might as well not even have that silly old primary, anyway.

That all I need to know. Liddy the RINO would be better off with a jockstrap for support instead of Tinkerbell Trent.
That goes double for me, Darth.
Good to see you around FR - I haven't noticed your posts for a while.

A RINO backing an even worse RINO. Who'd a thunk it?
And she's being foisted upon us by the Republican fatcats and powerbrokers: G.W. Bush, among them. There's a couple of SERIOUSLY principled GOP candidates in the field but they're being shut out in favor of someone who can "win". It's more important to these people to be "in power" than to humbly submit themselves to the office they desire.
Dole doesn't want to serve us. Lott doesn't want to serve us. Bush, especially, does not want to serve us. They desire a comfort zone for themselves and expect us to provide it for them. These blue-bloods are leading our country into stagnation.
To hell with all of 'em.
If she wasn't already taken, and he wasn't already gay, they'd make the perfect couple.
Among them: that we should do everything in our power to keep elitists like Liddy Dole from "representing" us.
(snicker) Yeah, I know. My jaw dropped in amazement.
Gomer bump back at ya...
LOL!
That's one hell of a scary visual.
That's it Giddy!! More subsidies. That'll help for sure. Why don't you just push to get the national government off our backs with these ridiculous tobacco lawsuits like Bush promised he would do when he ran?
Dole spoke briefly on a bill that recently passed the Senate that would give the president "fast-track" authority to negotiate trade agreements that could only be voted up or down, not modified, by Congress.
There you go, Giddy!! Give even more power to the POTUS. You can tell you're a true Southerner and North Carolinian < /sarcasm>. Heck, at the rate Bush is going now, we'll have tariffs on everything from bellybutton lint to candied yams.
Her campaign slogan should be changed. 'Vote for Giddy Dolt. Because you recognize the name!!' This woman is so far from conservative I'm thinking she might be Erskine Bowles in drag. Seatbelt laws, gun laws, subsidies, 'fast-track' negotiations. What does she support that is conservative?
Everyone keeps forgetting WE COULD LOSE THAT SEAT, remember what Jeffords brilliant move did! Whether she's a RINO or not we have to win back the majority in the Senate PERIOD!
The industry I work in is down right now, and we are short-handed on top of that.
Gilbarco (a company in that industry) is soon going to be laying off a "sizable" amount of people.
Back on topic, the main thing I resent about Liddy is how she has been pushed down our throats.
Yes, I also want the GOP to have control of the Senate again, but I'd rather have a principled conservative, not a statist like Dole.
So do I.
Some would disagree with that but doing otherwise is "cutting off your nose to spite your face."
What I object to most (beyond her conservatism or lack thereof) is how the primary race was handicapped from the start by the state and national GOP.
Jim Parker. But the GOP leadership is decidedly against someone who's not not "one of the boys" if you catch my drift.
Or are you willing to have 2 Democrat Senators from our state? How would that help us?
We're going to have 2 Democratic senators from this state anyway, if Dole is the nominee. WHY do you think this state's mainstream press is fawning over her so?? It's NOT because they support her! Within a month of her winning the primary, the dirt's going to start flying and she's gonna have severe mud on her dress. No way in hell will this state's liberal press give her an easy ride over Bowles.
And please don't tell me that she isn't a Conservative because of past remarks made. People can and do change their philosophy(e.g. her stance on gun control.) I believe if elected she will vote Pres. Bush's agenda and IMHO that's better than a Democratic agenda.
President Bush's agenda is giving more power to the federal government than it ever had under Bill Clinton. Why should I or anyone help them along with it?
You got that right though: Bush and "his people" are far BETTER Democrats, than the Democratic agenda ever designed!
