Here is a list of the 14 Republican Senators up for election in '06..... Maybe you can provide a list of those that you feel need to be targeted and put out to pasture along with a list of some of the Representatives...
Allen, George- (R - VA) Burns, Conrad- (R - MT) Chafee, Lincoln- (R - RI) DeWine, Mike- (R - OH) Ensign, John- (R - NV) Frist, Bill- (R - TN) Hatch, Orrin- (R - UT) Kyl, Jon- (R - AZ) Lott, Trent- (R - MS) Lugar, Richard- (R - IN) Santorum, Rick- (R - PA) Snowe, Olympia- (R - ME) Talent, James- (R - MO) Thomas, Craig- (R - WY)
Among those up for reelection in 2006, Chaffee and Snowe certainly need to be jettisoned. Frist too if he caves on the constitutional option
Please keep in mind though that I'm suggesting a broader effort. Let's leverage the resources required for the midterm election to *also* pull the plug on senators such as McCain and Collins and Hagel who are midway through their terms. Would this pose an organizational and fundraising challenge? Absolutely. But we're mobilized like never before. We have the will and we have the way.
As to House members who need to have their tickets punched, here are a few of the more obvious choices:
California--Drier (he's a queer)
Connecticut--Shays (he's been disloyal to Tom DeLay and he's shaky on personalizing retirement accounts)
Iowa--Leach (betrayed us on The Death Tax)
New York--Boehlert (need I say more?)
Ohio--Regula (sides with the abortionists)
Without a doubt there are others. But taking out these House RINOs would go a long way towards enforcing ideological discipline.
Of greatest importance is the need to demonstrate that we have power now and we aren't shy about using it. This is what Winners do. It's the key to woeing more Winners into our camp.
