"Its the environment were living in right now, South Dakota Sen. John Thune..."
Thune (like David Souter) has been a great disappointment

Yesterday, some galloping fairey at The NATION was lamenting the loss of “Pragmatic” Republicans (Democrat-Voting) in the Senate.
FUGG’EM....

"Basically, its the ABCs of politics: Stay involved; communicate with your constituents; be prepared to embrace a 21st-century campaign, Sen. Lindsey Graham "
Try, try, try to REPRESENT your State/Constituents/Country, b0z0s.

For the 10% of GOP Senators that are conservative, No.

Thune has been a tall squish mostly. Wouldn’t call him a RINO but a play-it-safe type. I keep getting letters from him in the mail to donate-— fat chance.

They all need to switch to the party they have been most loyal to. Real simple. No more DNC/RNC. Should be Socialist or Conservative. Democrats in congress do not exist anymore. Republicans with power are mostly what an 80’s Democrat was, mushy. Pick a side and fight for what you believe.

After Utah Senator Bob Bennett was voted out at the convention in 2010, Orrin Hatch quickly found the conservative ‘light’ and changed his tune for 2 years. Orrin is all about the constitution and the 2nd amendment now, according to his commercials here in Utah. His time is up, hopefully we can vote Dan Liljenquist in to run the general election in November.

The story is play offense, not defense, said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who tore down his primary challenger, J.D. Hayworth, in 2010. And it aint bean bag.
McCain gets it half-right ... the story IS play offense. Just against the Dems, NOT fellow Republicans or Conservatives.
Unlike what the MSM and others are saying, Lugar didn't fall victim to the Tea Party. He fell victim to the Senate Democrats, for whom he repeatedly rolled over and refused to stand up to from a position of strength. He got used, abused and left all alone on the floor by the likes of Schumer, Durbin, Levin and Reid ... and has no one but himself to blame.

but there are obviously Republicans out there who may not like when youve been around a few years and you got a lot of votes.Silly me, I thought it had something to do with them being liberals.

I’m disappointed that Levin is supporting Orrin “booby” Hatch. Hatch is way past his sell-by date.

What is dishonest about this story is what happens on the Democrat side.
Yes, Republicans have to face a Repbulican electorate that has tired of the constant caving to Democrats on most issues.
However, there is no mention that the Democrats rule their side with threats of no reelection funding by the leadership if they stray from the party line.
In summary:
Republicans fear their voter base.
Democrats fear their leadership.

Senators who stay closely connected to people at home are senators who are usually able to be reelected, Alexander said.Good point, because if they stay connected, they'll HEAR what their constituents are saying, and realize that their re-election depends on keeping the folks back home satisfied.

“I know well have a primary, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said of his 2014 bid for a third term.”
I am praying for the opportunity to vote against Chambliss in a primary.

Republicans fear their voter base.
Democrats fear their leadership. Great summary that shows the difference between "We the people" and "We the ruling class"
