Somebody call the WAAAAHMBULANCE!
They’re outside because they’re not elite pro politicians. That’s democracy for some people; government by the elite. That’s how the “popular republics” got all to be aristocracies.
She but mirrors the arrogance of the Republican Senate leadership. They just don’t get it and therefore they must go! Nice job, Alaska!
these people still don’t get it.
They did votes which we did not want them to. They are supposed to represent their voters but never did and now cry and act like children because the masses have said enough is enough we want representation.
either get voting as we want or be fired, what is so friggin hard for them to understand?.
Yes they are losing their jobs and power but if they did what they were supposed to and vote as they were supposed to then this would not be happening.
vote as a conservative like De mint or be fired
My friends. That is the face of a Crown Royal drinker.

IMO, the conservative GOP nominees can use the unwillingness of these career politicians to go away to their advantage. They need to trumpet the fact that they are the outsiders against the D.C. establishment, both Republicans and Democrats. Polling has showed that a majority of voters are dissatisfied, even angry, with both the Democrats and Republicans. These candidates need to use the fact that they are political outsiders being attacked and marginalized by the rich and powerful politicians in D.C., who have trampled the Constitution and bankrupted the country, to their extreme advantage. It is a winning strategy! It is an anti-incumbent year, and 2010 is not a year where being an “extremist” is going to hurt you. They need to make fure voters know that “extremist” is codeword for anti-establishment and anti-big, powerful government and special interests.

It would really be nice for once if the ‘Pubs would fight against the real enemy (’Rats) instead of each other.

You’re assuming that the GOP establishment considers themselves to be the enemies of the democrats. I don’t see much evidence for that. They’re MUCH more opposed to conservatives than they are to liberals.
And let the disgust forever stain EVERYBODY in the Republican establishment who supported Murkowski. We need to not just go after the RINOs, but those in the party Establishment who pick them.
Get a grip, Ma'am.
Take a deep breath and look at me.
Making "NICE" loses the war.
Now read my tagline again and again and again.
Hahaha, I thought we were little nobody's, astro turf, etc. No a$$wipes, WE are here to stay and change Washington back to it's original role!!
Don’t know about everywhere, but they sure did in 1976 in Fort Lauderdale.
As a high school volunteer then at the local GOP HQ, I saw there was a definite bias from the white shoe, country club set against the “unwashed masses”.
There was an obvious disdain for blue collars apparent in the attitudes of the Coral Ridge folks.
Saw something similar in 1992 when I arranged with the county GOP to save a space for a bunch of Cub Scouts in a hangar at Ft Lauderdale Executive airport when George Bush Sr. came for a campaign stop. The pols would get a good photo-op, the boys would get credit toward a merit badge and have the thrill of meeting the President and seeing the political circus up close; press, limos, Secret Service, etc. They even had a torpedo bomber in the hangar like Bush flew and a celeb, Gerald Raney warmed up the crowd.
When we arrived the “Young Republicans” had occupied the space and refused to let our boys in where they could see and meet the President.
From what I’ve read it goes back a long ways in the GOP; Taft, Goldwater, Reagan, the urban Easterners vs the working and middling classes from the Midwest, West and later the South following the success of Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” in ‘68.
Like the black voter in the Dem Party, the GOP establishment would like values voters and Tea Party types to hand over our cash and votes and keep our mouths shut and let “the best and brightest” run the show.
The arrogant sense of entitlement and disdain for hoi polloi among the elites isn’t confined to the ‘rat side of the aisle.
Perhaps they can share seats in the same tumbrel some day!
Adios to Ms Rino!
Well, she's just ugly - oh, and a loser.
No amount of beer could help that face.
“That’s how the “popular republics” got all to be aristocracies.”
Maybe Ignatius J. Reilly was right, and we should go back to a benevolent monarchy :)
