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!

Thank you! People are forgetting that the Dems would love for NC Republicans to bicker and fight over Liddy Dole. It gives their candidates an edge.

The blue bloods haven't really had that much power, politically anyway, since the 1960's. The media manipulated mob runs America now. I don't see why Liddy Dole is more likely to win myself( the Dole's don't strike me as "bluebloods" I know a few of them myself).

Well I don't know about others on the forum but I certainly consider the following items she supports to be pretty much Conservative ideals.

Making Tax Cuts Permanent
Building a strong and modern military
Strengthening National Defense
missile defense system
fill the federal bench vacancies(more than likely with Pres. Bush's selections)
she signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge promising to oppose all efforts to increase marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses; and any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.
will fight for North Carolina jobs and for our working families by cutting taxes, reducing the burden of regulations on business and pursuing strict enforcement of our trade laws.”

Lott's for sale - cheap!

(Not my phrase - don't remember who said it).

Libby Dole makes me nauseous. It worries me that people like that can even half-way make it in politics.

Lott and Liddy; two of the elite, effete who are selling this country down the river. My Gawd, where do these scallawags come from??? Liddy might not give a damn about the average joe in North Carolina, but she will get 40% of the motor voter illigal alien vote. That's what counts anyway. In a time when all people are equal, but some are more equal than others, illigal aliens are a tad or two more equal than the average good ole boy of Scotch Irish descent in NC. It's the same here in Georgia too. RINOs you say??? I say they are the real Republican Party.

The longer the conservative, die-hard Republicans refuse to get off their plantation, the harder it wll be to turn this nation around. They need to WAKE UP! The GOP isn't conservative anymore! They are reverting to being the party of Lincoln again: Lincoln, the Great Centralizer; Radical Republicans.

I guess it just takes conservatives a long time to realize that their party doesn't represent their views anymore. It took decades for conservative Democrats to make themselves get out of the party. A few of them STILL won't admit the truth to themselves.

While that may be true, the primary election for governor in Kalifornia revealed that the press will also pick the RINO every time. Riordan is anti-gun and deserved absolutely no support from Constitution advocates.

The time to ensure that a conservative is running is the primary. Leadership in the Senate will do us no good if it only provides control of how we spend the budget. RINOs like McCain would see to it that no pro-gun measures get attention.

The choice now in Kalifornia is between Simon, who lacks experience in office but holds truly conservative views, or Gray-out Davis whose incompetence may yet destroy the state completely before election day arrives.

The only thing un-conservative about Lincoln was his protectionism no matter what you neoconfederates say( and I tend to believe protectionism was just something he had to be for to get elected rather than something he really believed in).

She's also indicated that she's pro-gun control.

That wipes the slate of everything else supposedly "conservative" in my book.

If I remember my history Liddy Dole would be a "carpetbagger" not a "scalawag"( a native to the area but a Union collaborator).

NC is losing Jesse Helms......

This NYer would like to suggest that the nation is losing the great Senator Helms. He'll be missed.

Aha! You and I had the same thought at the same time regarding the GOP becoming the REAL Republican party again. Leaves real Americans like you and I helplessly watching as conservatives continually vote for liberals and help run America into her grave. It's been going on since 1865. Frustrating.

Deo Vindice, brother!

Everything listed here benefits primarily the pocketbooks of her rich, elite, NWO friends. Nothing wrong with that on the face of it, but were is her positions on cultural issues like so called "hate crimes," illigal immigration and immigration in general, correcting the PC crap that is taught in the government schools, and a myriad of other issues like this???? She doesn't want to make a stand on these issues, because she would lose.

Lincoln's passion was a centralized government. It was an obsession he had. That is irrefutable! Another obsession he had, which hacked off many of the famous abolitionists, was the deportation of African Blacks. Go beyond the education they gave you in the governmental indoctrination camps.

The 3 most important issues are taxes, getting rid of the gubmint schools( will never happen though), and opposing gun control. Terrorism is also important but thats an executive job.

I knew he liked to talk about sending the blacks back to Africa but that was not an uncommon position at that time.

Might have not been uncommon but then again not everybody speaking this way was the POTUS were they?

Licoln may have wished them to go back to Africa but he didn't plan to force them back there at gunpoint. You are confusing prejudice with discrimination.
