Which bums to throw out: Craig, Graham, Hagel, Martinez

None ^ | June 27th | Vanity

[sargon]

Larry Craig a traitor? howso?

[Mamzelle]

Who picks the head of the RNC, anyway? How do we un-pick him?

[Covenantor]

Martinez should immediately be removed from his position as Chairman of the Republican Party for his stance on this issue, his vitriolic attacks on the grassroots members of his party. And because the American people have loudly expressed their lack of confidence in this gusano.

[rurgan]

Who you guy going to run against Landrieu?

Jindal will be the next Guv.

We are going to run some Republican named Kennedy against Landrieu . Hopefully she will be history.

Vitter did great didn’t he? Why wasn’t Landrieu joining Vitter in this fight? Liberals.

[VRWC For Truth]

Graham ... the LSM heir Maverick.

[CPT Clay]

Another “Kennedy”in the senate?

[CPT Clay]

Get rid of your liberal ‘critter first.

Isn’t it Matheson?

[Cuttnhorse]

With Craig, the Idaho Republican machine pretty much decides who goes to Washington and Boise and unless Craig decides not to run again, he will return to the Senate.

I’ve sent him several emails telling him that he is a walking poster child for mandatory term limits and that I planned to actively campaign for anyone running against him in 2008.

[Utah Binger]

That would certainly be a good start. Doubt Bennett will run again. Guess who will try to get the seat? You guessed right if you said little Jimmie boy Matheson.

[fish hawk]

Stick to the Republicans. If you bring Democrats into this thread, I can name fifty that need to go.

Collins is far, far worse than Graham or Craig when it comes to voting with the RATs. Graham & Craig sold out on immigration but support the conservative position 90% of the time, whereas Collins is awful across the board and I'd be surprised if we get her to vote the "right" way 51% of the time.

IMO, the worst incumbant Republican Senators up for re-election in 2008 are HAGEL (who used to be conservative but has become the Dem's FAVORITE Republican lately), COLLINS , and WARNER . Warner & Hagel are from Republican-leaning states (especially Hagel). The assumption here on FR is Warner will retire in 2008 and be replaced with Tom Davis, but he has made no announcement of the sort, so it's set in stone as much as Fred Thompson's "July 4th Presidential annoucement" was.

Another incumbant up in 2008 from a "safe" Republican state who's voting record is far worse than Graham or Craig is ol' pork-barrelling TED STEVENS of Alaska. I'd hold my nose for him in the general election but the old goat definitely needs a primary challenger to push him to the right.

The only other GOP Senator who needs to leave Washington ASAP, IMO, is JOHN SUNUNU of New Hampshire, for totally different reasons. Sununu is a reliable conservative vote but poll after poll shows this guy is toast in 2008 against a RAT. The only reason he got that seat in 2002 was by proclaiming that the incumbant Senator was unelectable and needed to step aside for a Republican that could hold the seat. Time for Sununu to take his own advice and quit while he still can.

The remaining GOP Senators may be sell outs on a handful of issues, but are generally pretty good conservative votes. People may demonize John McCain on FR as an awful RINO and hail Fred Thompson as the conservative savior of the party, but if you actually look at their voting "records" in office, there's not much difference.
