FReepers from all 50 states need to buckle down and target ALL RINOs in the House AND Senate for replacement in '08.

I'd rather target 'rats.

The way to reduce the influence of the Hagels of the Senate is to elect more Republicans. When Johnson had 70 'rat Senators he could tell any one of them to go to hell because he had plenty who would do as he said.

We never had 50 conservative Senators! However, the so-called "RINOs" like Mike DeWine did help confirm Roberts and Alito and Janice Rogers Brown.

You may not have noticed, but we are running out of Republican Senators in the Northeast and Midwest. The few who remain don't fit your definition of Republican, so you want to run them out. I am fed up and sick of so-called "conservatives" who think destruction of the Republican Party in the midwest and northeast will somehow help. You want Voinovich and Specter and Collins and Snowe replaced by hard core 'rats? Because that's what we have up here.

Get a clue.

People like you won't be satisfied until Republicans are reduced to a hopeless minority of virgin-pure conservatives who watch helplessly as the Supreme Court is filled with liberals when 'rats are President and good conservatives like Bork nominated by Republicans are blocked because we don't have a majority.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you are an idiot?

By targeting RINOS and focusing on fielding STRONG CONSERVATIVES who represent the values supported by the majority of Americans (whether they realize it or not), we ARE targeting 'rats. What we need are a group of strong conservatives who aren't afraid to go mano-a-mano in the gutter with the Dems and fight for conservative values and causes. What we need are a group of strong conservatives who won't back down in fear of making liberals mad at them. What we need is a group of strong conservatives who will "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" for any cause that they know to be right - such as defending this country from the people who want to kill us!! What we need is a group of strong conservatives who won't kow-tow to the European appeasers and will stand up to the invaders, stand up to the murderers in the Middle East, stand up to those who want to use the school systems to indoctrinate children with rubbish, stand up to those who want to see us defeated on every front and deny everyone the fruits of freedom!!

Unfortunately, people like you are unable to see the "big picture" and comprehend that when we replace the RINOs with STRONG CONSERVATIVES, we are also targeting 'rats. You may not have realized it, but the new Congress, which changed hands in November SOLELY because it has become virtually impossible to tell a Republican from a Democrat on the basis of the politics, looks no different from the last Congress except that Pelosi is more interested in symbolism over substance. People voted for a change in hopes of seeing something . . . ANYTHING that was different! You want to keep the status quo, because someone who votes and acts like a liberal has an "R" after their name. This is what needs to be changed.

A new opinion poll (not that I put a lot of stock in polls in general) indicates that most people are no happier with the new Congress they elected, than they think they are with Bush - the ratings are in the same low percentage area. RINOS are not an improvement over liberals, they are simply foxes in sheep's clothing. If you're happy with your RINOs, by all means keep hanging on to them - the rest of us are not.

It may be worth notice to you that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Keep voting for your RINOs, and keep hoping that they will oneday represent conservative values!!
