Steve Largent, a former Oklahoma congressman and president of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association

OK's gain is America's loss!!!

WTF!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

BUMP!

[NYC Republican]

I was just about to say what a disgrace Largent is. I blame him, and his inept campaign, for the GOP losing the Senate seat to a Dim.

Where do we donate to Thune?

David Rehr, a former House Republican aide who is now a lobbyist for the National Association of Beer Wholesalers, makes no apology for contributing to Mr Daschle's campaign.

"It did raise a few eyebrows," admits Mr Rehr, chuckling. "When people looked at me - a Republican and a big supporter of this president - they sort of said: 'Hey, what's going on?' John Thune is a good friend of mine and I had to tell him we would be giving to Daschle, not to him.

Real funny Mr Rehr. IMHO, you and your cohorts should be given a fleet enema for supporting Dashole, in your rehrs of course....

When "Senator" Thune is sworn in in January, they will come crawling, asking for forgiveness. The slugs that they are. It's always money over priciples with lobbyist.

the GOP losing the Senate seat to a Dim

You meant that Largent lost the OK governorship in 2002, the biggest surprise of election night, because Largent had taken his election as "inevitable."

Now OK Republicans will have a tough time holding the Senate seat to be vacated by Lobbyist-To-Be Don Nickles.

"It did raise a few eyebrows," admits Mr Rehr, chuckling. "When people looked at me - a Republican and a big supporter of this president - they sort of said: 'Hey, what's going on?' John Thune is a good friend of mine and I had to tell him we would be giving to Daschle, not to him. But it's nothing personal. It's more about trying to re-elect someone who has been with us on the issues.

Idiots like this will destroy the once conservative republican party; perhaps the conservatives of America need people in congress who will represent their views; I think I hate RINO's like this clown more than communist democrats like the liar Daschle. Has Daschile been with us electorate on the issues; I think not. O'vay, pain when I see the conservative party dying out.

I guess this proves two things: (1) This is the only way they think they can get the Indian casino business(9 out of 10 dead indians vote RAT) (2) Khrushchev was correct when he said that a capitalist would sell the rope that was used to hang them, because aiding that little sob is helping hang America

[stylin_geek]

[Theodore R.]

Do you think that we will yet see the destruction of the Republican Party from within its own ranks?

[sticker]

Luckily, my senior senator has announced he would work to defeat the dipstick

[Theodore R.]

Idiots like this will destroy

Don't you think that such "idiots" represent the majority of the Republican Party? Or just a small minority? Democrats used to call conservatives within the GOP "a minority within the minority."

I've got some bad news for you sunshine, if li'l Tommy Dashole is "with you on the issues," you're no Republican.

Major League Baseball gave $4,000 to Mr Daschle, even though many of the league's owners are big supporters of Mr Bush - who once owned a baseball team.

This is one of the most disturbing things I've read in a long time. FU Bud.
