Ranked by the editors of Human Events
1. Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R.I.)
Once approached by Democratic Leader Harry Reid to switch parties, Chafee has long supported liberal polices. He backs legal abortion, gay rights, federal-funded health care, strict environmental protections and a higher minimum wage. Opposes ANWR drilling. Also was the only Republican in Congress not to endorse the President's reelection and one of three who tried to gut Bush's tax cuts.

Absolutely!
Seeing him shaking hands with McCain was definitely a WTF??? moment.
Here's my pics, in addition to the list.
Gov. Robert Taft of Ohio. No explanation necessary.
Former Gov. Christie Todd Whitman. Again, no explanation necessary. Her ridiculous book is what bumps her back up on the list.
Gov. Kenny Guinn of Nevada. Big tax increaser, and he got the courts to order it to boot.
Rebel, if you notice the list all come from blue states except Iowa.
More socially conservative Republicans would not be elected under any circumstances State wide in NY, Massachusetts, RI or Maine.
LOL
The great state of Maine has got to be perplexin' about its wimmin pols...
yep..notice how the LSM left out their little 'pets'...lol
The absence of John McCain's name on this list renders it useless and irrelevant and will probably cause me to rethink re-upping with H.E.
I used to long for the days of Ronald Reagan but the older I get the more I long for the days of Joe McCarthy.
Source?
American Conservative Union.
McCain's lifetime voting record is 83% conservative.

McLame is an enigma - he has the understanding and supports the WOT. But so many issues he is liberal on. And his law on "no torture" when torture was already against the law is totally unnecessary and will do nothing but put our troops and other members of the Government in jeopardy with subsequent court actions. Did McLame define "torture" in a very precise manner? Something about a Military manual being implemented but if not legal specific it will only cause problems for government employees later. If someone forgets to give an islamofacist his copy of the Koran, is that "torture"?
Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM). Co-sponsors every federal minimum wage increase with Ted Kennedy - every time.
So many RINOs, so little time... Voinivich and Dewine (Ohio), Bass and Sununu (NH), just to name a few more to add to the list. Seems kind of frivolous to have House members on the list since they are only 1 vote in 435, but Human Events started the list that way.
Don't forget the prescription drug plan.
The acronym RINO hardly needs further elaboration at FR. Neither need you add (Grand Old Party)after GOP.
Leaving John McCain's name off this list is like leaving Dolly Parton's name off the list of the Top 10 County/Western Singers with Big Tits.
My thoughts: McCain is actually more dangerous to the conservative movement (strike that)... he's more dangerous to the nation because of his voting record.
I'd agree. Big Government hiding behind a Bible.
Don't forget Colin Powell...was once a fine military leader, and look what happened.
