Here's to a good RINO hunt!

Hello. My name is Seymour. Don't laugh. My mother gave me that name. Have you contributed to Free Republic's quarterly fundraiser yet? Why not? Do you want me to get very angry? Do you want me to ring my little bell and get my big brother over here? He rides a Segway. He kick you in the rear end and make you cry. Don't make me have to call him over here. Go here and give something to keep the Free Republic running. Even if it is only five dollars. It's easy. And it will make me feel good not to have to get angry with you. Have a good day and Freep on!

Republican establishment is terminally stupid. Did you know that Florida Rep Party is responsible for the RATs controlling the US Senate?

Hey! Davis wasted $10 million dissing Riordan, who was indistinguishable from Davis!

This battle was won! On with the war!

Conservatives told the White House, Gerry Parsky, and the George Skeltons of the media that the GOP establishment and the Republican grassroots run along two different tracks: the former toward the left, the latter toward the right. The establishment didn’t listen. Arrogantly assuming they could impose their will on rank-and-file Republicans, they shilled shamelessly for Riordan’s ruinous campaign, all the while browbeating conservatives for not backing a real “winner.” Bill Simon’s victory leaves a considerable amount of egg on the face of this crowd. Weasels like Parsky and Congressman David Dreier must now explain what particular insight into “winning” they possess — now that is clear their horse couldn’t even win a Republican primary against a political novice. The California congressional delegation sold its soul for Riordan (excepting those few wise enough to shun the mayor’s bandwagon) and got nothing in return, save the scorn of ordinary Republicans wised-up to their lame Machiavellian games... Perhaps conservatives in the state owe the Riordans, Parskys, and Dreiers a debt of gratitude. In hamhandedly trying to kill the Party’s conservatism, they may unintentionally have resurrected it.

This article sums up my feelings about the whole Riorden debacle exactly although it fails to lay responsibility for this travesty where culpability is due--squarely at the feet of the White House. It was Bush and his liberal GOP Establishment advisors that tried to force the ultraliberal partial birth abortion extremist Richard Riorden upon the California GOP. When the liberal Republicans failed to takeover the California State Party by democratic means one year ago, it was Bush and his advisors who successfully instigated a palace coup to replace conservative control of the California GOP and ensure its takeover by a liberal Bush loyalist--Parsky. Sure I blame Drier and kind--but after all he was just another Bush loyalist following orders from this politically center-left White House. I sincerely hope that the size and scope of the Riorden defeat and the Simon victory will convince Bush to start supporting conservatives for public office for a change, not ultraliberal RINOs like Riorden.

His conservative message of tax cuts and limited government will not scare Californians, as polls indicate they feel no particular loyalty to the liberalism of Davis. Moreover, Simon’s moderate personality will counteract the inevitable liberal attempts to demonize him as an “extremist.”

This says it all. Simon has a likeable personality, and a compassionate background that makes him an ideal standard-bearer for not only conservatives, but the Republican Party.

Simon is, and has always been, our best hope at defeating Davis. I hope the GOP establishment finally sees the light.

Go Simon!
