Six years after unseating a two-term Democratic incumbent, Republican U.S. Senator John Boozman faces a long-shot challenge in Arkansas' March 1 primary from a rival who's questioning his conservative credentials. Boozman faces North Little Rock businessman Curtis Coleman in the March 1st primary. The winner advances to the November general election against Democrat Conner Eldridge and Libertarian nominee Frank Gilbert. Coleman is trailing Boozman in fundraising and the incumbent lawmaker has the backing of prominent conservative groups like the National Right to Life Committee and the National Rifle Association. But Coleman is trying to paint the former congressman as a moderate. Boozman dismisses that criticism and says his record shows he's a conservative.

RINO’s always say they are conservative when they run for re-election.

Boozman is a RINO and needs to be defeated.

Don't think he's up this time. I didn't see him on the ballot.

Give the RINO a 2nd term. Give him a second chance. THEN lower the boom. 6 years into a President’s term(GOP) It will be ok if it goes to the Rats.

He probably supports the RINO incumbent. Vote for the challenger Arkansas and make some history.

“He probably supports the RINO incumbent. Vote for the challenger Arkansas and make some history.”

Sadly, you are correct. We are once again in that forced situation of having to “eat” another GOPe $hit sandwich or face the prospect of loosing the Senate when the new Repubilcan president needs it to be Republican. Somehow a way has to be found to RIF these RINO bastards but at the same time retain control of the Legislature. Like we know we won’t loose the House, so now is the time to get rid of a few RINOs (can you say The Speaker).

"Boozman dismisses that criticism and says his record shows he's a conservative."

If he hasn't stood with Cruz like Mike Lee, he's a RINO.
