Do these senators realize if that is true, they better not be up for re-election.

>>Neither Bushes were conservatives. They were one world government globalists.
Dam you Ronald Reagan for letting them in!

I fully understand your frustration, but please don’t curse Ronald Reagan for “letting them in”. There is more to the story than many may know.

It is my understanding that President Reagan was coerced into accepting Bush when he REALLY did NOT want to.

Nopardons knows more about this and can add more detail to what actually occurred...

Poppy Bush was stuffed down Reagan’s throat, BY FORCE, with him kicking and screaming about it. Neither got along with the other....EVER.

Apparently Sen. Ayotte has forgotten that the "voters in New Hampshire" she needs to win re-election are Republicans and conservative independents, and they voted for Trump in the primary.
What a blunder on her part.

Same with Sandoval. Record numbers of voters turned out to vote for Trump. We already don't like him since he raised taxes.

That is a most excellent summation of how the two parties hate us.

The Chamber of Commerce has been funding these idiots for years to make your words happen. It was meant to help businesses keep costs lower, but was from the wrong side of the equation.

Businesses should have been building up US citizens and helping to keep taxes low to help juice our economy, which would make their businesses grow in healthy ways. Instead, they import crime and raise inner city crime by bringing in substitute labor. This also increases welfare costs that get added onto our total debt.

I love how you said that.

One of those senators (Mark Kirk) is from my state, Illinois. He probably doesn’t want to be near conservatives. Here are some of his latest interest group ratings: Planned Parenthood, 100%; NEA, 100%; John Birch Society, 35%; and Gun Owners of America, 0%. He wants to give amnesty to illegal aliens.

Kirk has a conservative opponent, Chad Koppie, of the Constitution Party. If you know any conservatives, who live in Illinois, please ask them to help Chad’s campaign by collecting petition signatures and/or by donating. His site is www.chadkoppie.com. Chad thinks that the liberal vote will split among the Republican, Democrat, and Green Party candidates, helping Chad win with 20%.

GHWB delivered some nice remarks at the Reagan funeral. Were they contrived?

Kenneth B. Keating wouldn’t endorse Goldwater in 1964 and lost to RFK. Goldwater had earlier endorsed Keating, as he did Javits.

No, but they were part of the " ALWAYS DO/SAY THE RIGHT THING", old fashioned elite GOPers white glove wearing manners. There ARE times for that still, yet I railed against it as far back as the early '60s, because even back then, I could see what was coming and sadly, it did.

Something I doubt you understand completely, not being from that background.
