I live under two of the biggest idiots in the government of the United States, Senators Olympia Snowe (R) and Susan Collins ("I" for independant socialist). Do I want them out because I believe that they weaken this country? You're damn right I do. Did I vote for Snowe in the primaries? Heeeeeellllllll no! Did she sweep the primary? She sure did, because there was no other candidate that came even remotely close. That being the case,I voted for her in the general election, along with a straight rep. ticket.

I'm sure that some Republicans voted Democrat or Independent to "punish" their left-leaning representatives; however, the Republicans lost the election because they have been acting like politicians rather than leaders. The number one ballot box issue in nearly every poll? CORRUPTION.That causes the Republican base to fracture during the primaries as some go in search of a better candidate, and causes the easily-led sheep in the "independent voter" category to lean left of center. Was this primarily because the leftist media painted a pretty picture of the Socialist Lite Party Of Corruption, while damning the Republicans? Of course it was, but that is another issue.

The Republicans didn't lose in a landslide:they lost just enough seats to lose the House and Senate. If you want to point a finger at a voting block, point it at the swing voters, who wouldn't know the right side of a political issue if it bit them on the ass. The majority of the Republican base voted "R".

I am sick to death of people who jump up on a soapbox and point fingers without knowing the actual facts. Change happens incrementally. We need to change the direction of the Republican party, and that is a fact. However, I believe that THE PRIMARIES ARE THE ONLY LOGICAL PLACE TO EFFECT CHANGE; after that, you vote what is best for the America... which is obviously REPUBLICAN! When some of my "conservative" representatives pull liberal crap like shamnesty or spending like drunken sailors, they weaken my country and everything it stands for. For that reason, it's time for them to go. However, with all the idiocy that has gone on in the Republican't party (do I really have to go into all of it?), they are still better than the democrats by a mile.

Remember how we all delighted in the democrat party infighting? So many on this site are doing exactly the same thing... and that is what we are sowing for 2008.

Pull it together... and we will win.

Thank you snowrip. You speak the truth. As long as we continue to let the dimwits force us into thinking that we have no candidates, we will continue to do ourselves in. We have strong conservative candidates out there. The only thing most Americans knew about Ronald Reagan was he was an actor; but he won; because he proved to be a conservative. Unfortunately, most of us outside of the political arena had never heard of Carter or Clinton; but the dimwits put on a show and nothing much else and won. So it works both ways. It doesn't matter a twit who says what about who. We want people who are good for this country and if that means running some republicans out of office; so be it. The good people are out there. Please remain strong in your beliefs and on course. We managed to get Gray Davis out of office, and promptly forgot what it's all about in this country when Arnie was elected because he was a republican in name only, simply because he was winnable. Stay the course. The candidates are out there. America is great.
