Connie Morella (RINO MD): lifetime achievement award for consistently running as a Republicrat and voting like a Demublican.

I am amazed that no one appears to have mentioned Senator Lincoln D. Chaffee of Rhode Island, currently upholding his families Rino tradition.

I give northeastern Rino's a geographic handicap, I really don't expect them to have any principles, backbone, cajones, or whatever. Tax and spend is all they know, in the case of Chaffee (and probably the rest), its genetic.

I have to cast my vote with Sudquist (Taxquist). Not only is he pushing for an income tax and spending money like it's water, he also signed that idiot bill allowing anybody (including every illegal alien for 5 states around) to get a valid Tennessee drivers license.

I cast my vote for liberal Democrap Manchurian Candidate Sen. John S. McCain III. Nobody, with the possible exception of James Jeffords, who has been consistently ultraliberal his entire career, has done more to deserve the title of RINO and much worse, than liberal GOP Sen. John McShame.

[vin-one]

Thanks, for the pin,
I will have to go with McMainiac

Here here, 1 more for John "Plastic Head" Warner.

[NC_Libertarian]

I vote for Ron Paul. He is clearly not a Republican, what with his whining about the constitution and limited government and all that crap.

[Cyber Liberty]

Anybody keeping score? McCain, the arrogant pr**k seems to be out in front, with Jeffords running second.

Personally, I think Jeffords should be disqualified, but a case can be made for keeping him in the running because he was a RINO for a few months this year....Also, I'm biased because I detest the senior senator from AZ so much.

[Cyber Liberty]

You have a point. Paul is only in the House because he masquarades as a Republican every two years in order to get himself elected. He should get honest and change his party registration at the next election. He'd probably be reelected.

Connie Morella (RINO MD): lifetime achievement award for consistently running as a Republicrat and voting like a Demublican.

You know, she deserves an award in her own right....Turkey of the Century award for her!

[Labyrinthos]

There IS NO VIABLE THIRD CHOICE, VOTING 3RD PARTY JUST PUTS THE DEMS IN POWER.

Did I say anything about voting for a third party candidate? I suspect that in 99% of the elections, particularly on the local level, the Conservative Party endorses the same candidate as the Republican Party, so even though you might be enrolled as a conservative, you're still voting lockstep with the Republicans.

What I'm talking about is the party platform, where a small plurality of conservatives force a conservative platform upon the Republican Party, which by definition should stand to the left of the democraps, but to the right of Conservatives. I do believe that non-conservative Republicans are the mainstream of the Republican Party, and that they are more likely to jump ship and vote for the enemy if they are uncomfortable with a conservative platform, than the enemy is willing to jump ship and vote Republican to escape a liberal platform. Indeed, I know many Republicans here in the Northeast who have and will vote for a democrap, rather than a Republican who is forced to defend what is often portrayed and percieved as a conservative platform.

"same song, different verse..."

Ahhh yes...a favorite tune of mine, Ol' Chap...MUD

[CounterCounterCulture]

So many to choose from, but I'll give the nod to McCain this year. Spectre and Whitman are good for lifetime achievement awards. Mayor-elect Mike Bloomberg for Rookie of the Year.

Next year though could be the year for potential California Governor (hah! fat chance!) and former L.A. Mayor Dick Riordan.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

So many to choose from. I have to go with Lott, because he is the Leader.

Lott draws lines in the sand & carries dasshole over them.

[white trash redneck]

God, this is a tough one - McCain or Jeffords? Jeffords' party-switching publicity stunt was pretty awful, but McCain is much more of an ongoing nuisance. I'd like to vote for both, but if I have to choose, I guess I'll pick McCain.

[Mudboy Slim]

"...stop trying to hijack the Republican Party."

Actually, we're trying to keep the GOP from being hijacked by the RINOs...but good luck in the Conservative Party. Lotta good folks over there.

FReegards...MUD

[Clemenza]

Doesn't the northeast s-ck. Especially New York, where Conservative party will probably endorse gun grabbing, big spending, regulation passing RINO George Pataki.

If you live in New York, you might as well vote Communist. Here in Florida, we have a REAL Republican party.

Hey Lab, how do you like those high taxes and fascistic gun laws?

[Mudboy Slim]

"...the Republican Party, which by definition should stand to the left of the democraps"

How so?! You must be referring to libertarian issues.

[hobblemaster]

I second it! Let's get rid of Warner ( Hey, which one? The Senator or the Governor?)

[Mudboy Slim]

"I will have to go with McMainiac"

Yes, nationally; however, we Virginians need to be cognizant to clean up the mess in our own backyard!!

John Warner's a RINO mess...MUD
