Which bums to throw out: Craig, Graham, Hagel, Martinez
None ^ | June 27th | Vanity

Posted on 06/28/2007 9:58:14 AM PDT by dangus

Four Republican Senators who have betrayed America are up for re-election. It is imperative that all Americans do everything we possibly can to ensure that they are not re-nominated. Three of these Senators come from preposterously red states, so we do not need fear that any controversy within the Republican party will cause their seats to go Democratic.

The traitors are:

Robert Bennett (UT) Not up for election

LARRY CRAIG. Idaho's Senate is comprised of 28 Republicans and only 7 Democrats; the House has 51 Republicans and 19 Democrats. Bush won by 40 points, twice. Clinton got only 34%.

LINDSAY GRAHAM. South Carolina is the most Republican of the deep South. Democrats seem lately incapable of breaking 41% of the vote, which is quite something, given the state is 30% black. (Immigration is one of several issues in which a majority of blacks are very hostile to the Democrat's position.) Both Houses are solidly Republican

Judd Gregg (NH) Not up for election

CHUCK HAGEL (NE) Recent polls show Chuck Hagel already trailing Nebraska Attorney General Bruning. There is a Democratic Senator, Ben Nelson, but he is actually the last, remaining conservative Democrat, which is probably why he survives as the last influential Democrat in Nebraska.

John Kyl (AZ) Not up for election

Trent Lott (MS) Not up for election

Dick Lugar (IN) Not up for election

MEL MARTINEZ (FL) Mel may be Cuban-American, but he's voting like a Mexican, and even occasionally against Cuban interests. He is a certainly far better than any Democrat who might replace him, and on issues when he's not asked to be the White House's stand-in for a Mexican, he's at least moderately conservative. A bad dust-up might wound but not kill his re-nomination, leaving him very vulnerable in a state that isn't so Republican Red, but has many Marxist Reds passing themselves off as Rednecks. It's worth it to replace him in a primary, but some care should be taken not to had the seat to a Democrat.

John McCain (AZ) Not up for election

Olympia Snowe (ME) Not up for election

Arlen Specter (PA) Not up for election

One last bum to throw out: TED STEVENS (AK) is bad on conservativism in general, and, specifically on immigration. I think he simply found the wind blowing too strong against him this issue, this time, but it appears his "No" vote was just him acting as a rat fleeing a sinking ship. Stevens is very liberal on many social issues, including being for murdering unborn babies, and is probably the 2nd most corrupt Republican, after McCain. Alaska is a very safely Republican state; voters even re-elected Lisa Murkowski (another RINO), despite outrage over the nepotism through which she took office. If Democrats couldn't beat her, they can beat no-one.

I’d focus on Graham, Craig and Hagel. All three are beatable in a primary and still keep the GOP seat.

One thing you got wrong, unfortunately Mel Martinez is not up for reelection until 2010. He ran and won his Senate seat in 2004. As regards to the rest of your list, you are correct. I am not an advocate for kicking out Republicans if the seat would fall to a Democrat because I believe any Democrat is worse than a Republican. However, when we can be confident in replacing a Republican with A Republican, teach the damn RINO’s a lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Trent Lott (MS) Not up for election”

I have sent emails to his office and the MS Republican Party letting them know that in no way would I ever vote for this man again. My step-father is a big donor and he says his checkbook is now closed.

>> No, but he will be one day. <<

Not necessarily :^D. We stand a good chance of seeing Warner, Specter, Lugar, and Lott all retire. What a happy day it will be, to rid the Republican Party of such bigoted trash as them.

(OK, Lugar’s not a bigot; he’s just an @$$h0!3

Do try to read the article before commenting on it.

Let’s not forget Voinovitch. I don’t absolutely know if it’s true, but sources have said that he first voted “Yes” on cloture today, and then switched his vote to “no” after he saw it was not going to pass. Brownback did the same.

So they didn’t really change their minds and vote “no,” they voted “no” purely to give themselves cover, probably with permission from the leadership.

Which bums to throw out:..................

How soon we forget, did our congressman or senator vote for mccain-feingold? the medicare drug expansion? massive pork? etc?

most of these bums had already disgraced themselves by acting AGAINST the best interests of Americans.

Let’s not be so short sighted.
