Toomey is a Club for Growth member. Meaning he tilts libertarian. Libertarians generally favor sexual anarchy such as elimination of “don’t ask don’t tell”. For libertarians it is “Do you thing. It’s none of my business what you do with your boyfriend in the bunk next to me”

..that is my understanding as well. With much luck this will get buried in an avalanche of incomplete actions.

So, is Rick Santorum still in the doghouse for endorsing Specter in 2004? Turns out Toomey isn`t all that, after all.

The original Tea Party movement was about big government funding health care as I recall, and the bailouts? What I said was it is being made into something that many who are actually Tea Partiers under that definition will not join. I will not die for the Tea Party.

I`ve contacted both Webb`s and Warner`s offices. Unfortunately, both want open homosexuality in the military and will vote to repeal DADT.

Vote conservative, not GOP....and this will not happen.

The GOP is nothing more than Democrats with Jobs

I wonder how many more newly elected people will betray us?

I would imagine there are more.


Just wait until Marco Rubio gets sworn in. I tried to warn all the he is Pro-Illegal Alien and a Cap-And-Trade liberal...and a Bush family fave.

Toomey, like Scott Brown are positioning [sic] themselves to be on “the right side of history”. In history, “rights” were expanded to include non-property owners, to women, to Native Americans, to African-Americans, and now to gays. This seems unstoppable-—for better or for worse.

Every previous time, preachers railed against it. But preachers have a way of looking out for their short-term finances and being wrong in the long-term. Our Nation survived the past expansions, and it will survive this one.

Are you kidding me? My state should have kept Specter? It’s really a shame that we’re now saying that Specter was better than Toomey. Come on. So Toomey has a libertarian streak, so what. Like I said, nobody was calling Santorum a RINO when he was voting for massive spending bills.

Next thing is gay military people will be suing for allowing their domestic partner to glom onto militarily benefits. Same as the wife and family of a service man do. Military housing is going to have gay partners living together in units designed for real families

This will be disgusting and costly to the taxpayer. Also is against Western traditions and religion

So if a politician does ONE thing you don’t agree with, but does 99 things you do, you throw him overboard?

“So if a politician does ONE thing you don’t agree with, but does 99 things you do, you throw him overboard?”

Are you really that simple minded? Lets see if I get this straight - so according to your simple minded theory - said politician could vote 99% conservative but if he voted to have the american people enslaved that would be ok because he votes with conservatives 99% of the time. What an idiot you show yourself to be with such arguments.

Sometimes certain issues are much bigger than other issues -it is these issues that seperate the true patriots and constitutionalists from the central bank controlled RINOs. DADT and the DREAM act are two such issues - regardless of how they voted in the past these two define who the politicians are accountable to. A no vote means they are accountable to the people, a yes vote means they could give a crap about the people and majority and are doing the will of the bankers and political elitists.

“Every previous time, preachers railed against it. “

Preachers and the church in general were monumental in civil rights work.
