I confess, I didn’t read the article, just the names.

Different circumstances,

In your dreams.

but about what I expect out of you.

I'll take that as a compliment.

We have fools like you to thank for Schwarzenegger and the 2006 Democrat majority in Congress.

I like that list. Although Pat Toomey’s DADT position puts him on the side of the RINOs. We’ll have to see just how conservative he really is. I’m also concerned about my new senator, Marco Rubio. We’ll have to see if he is a real conservative or an amnesty lover.

You never really know about any of these power lovers and influence peddlers. You have to keep a close eye on them all the time.

The Republican alternative to Nelson is going to be an issue in FL.

We need to find a suitable conservative (with strong constitutional roots) to run for that seat. The Party Establishment will either give us another RINO or another career politician positioned as a faux oustider.

For a true conservative, I like what I've heard from Col. Mike McCalister.

The establishment has been floating Jeb Bush. Also George LeMieux (the Crist seat warmer) and Mike Haridopolos have been mentioned for that seat.

We need to do better than those career politicians.

Beg to differ with you about the sexual preference of Miss Lindsey. But I agree that South Carolina has given us one excellent senator, Jim DeMint, to balance out that absolutely atrocious Grahamnesty.

You could add 95% of the GOP from New York State. They are all RINOs who actually think they are conservatives. Not a one of them actually knows what conservatism is.

You haven't a clue about who you are talking to or what you are talking about.

You keep on being a tool of the RATS. They play you and your ilk like cheap fiddles.

If it hadn't been for fools like you, the RAT Party wouldn't have survived the first years of this century, but you are so easy to manipulate that you played right into their hands.

And you haven't learned a damned thing.

That said, I see nothing wrong with this firing list. I'll give Snowe and Brown a small pass due to their states...

Brown may have been backed by the Tea Party in MA, but he never pretended to be a solid conservative. MA has over 50 % registered independents, 38 % rats and just 11 % GOP. Maine now has a GOP governor and legislature. Snowe should be primaried, IMHO. The result in the 2012 general election should determine whether Collins gets primaried in 2014, IMHO.

Primary victories are VERY helpful. No candidate should be able to presume the primary is theirs.

See RNC endorsed Crist.

This is a list of Senators not House members.

If there is a House list, there are probably 2 dozen people on it before Ron Paul would be considered.

I agree with all except Scott Brown. Sadly, he’s as good as we’re going to get from MASS. Might as well keep the RINO in the caucus, rather than get another Kennedy.

Okay but he won’t get a dime of CONSERVATIVE money like he did last time,so he’ll probably lose anyway...or change parties.

I have no doubt Richard Lugar would go the same route Lisa Murkowski did if he lost in a primary.

I don’t believe he can do that in Indiana.

Toomey was for repeal of DADA? I give up.
