Pennsylvania also had a high rate of voter fraud. I wonder how many terrorists voted for Algor. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if terrorists were able to vote. More people voted than actually resided in the urban areas of Pennsylvania.
That being said, I voted for John McCain as RHINO because he wanted to risk American lives in Afghanistan and his other wacky ideas such as campaign finance which decimates free speech. Copy this to your Pennsylvania freepers.
Although I against domestic violence, that was high drama. I also recall that the politician had a personal assistant whose scenes were all on or near the senator's desk. Kinda like x-42 who we all remember as a good actor, lousy president.
The difference between me and a true libertatian is a matter of degree. A true Libertarian might take the view, for example, that people ought to be able to drive as fast as they want as long as they don't hurt anyone else. That's stupid, because if you do get an accident, then the chances are pretty good that you're going to hurt someone else. And even if you don't hurt me, accidents result in increased insurance rates and increased insurance rates reduce my net wealth, which makes me angry.
Excellent point. I'd like to change my vote to Jefferies for RINO of the year, except I'm not sure he'd qualified to run because he's no longer registered as a Republican. Perhaps we need a ruling from the election commish.
Connie Morella, 8th Congressional district, from my native state of Maryland. She has an ACU rating of a typical Democrat and said she would have voted for Gore if there had been a House vote a year ago. She lead the parade of the (70,000) Million Moos in May of 2000.
However, as he became more of an incumbant, he became to consider himself more a member of the Senate, adhering to the factions and compromises there, than a Senator from Utah, part of the whole but still a Representative.
Now I will be the first to stand with Burke in his definition of Deliberative Representation as being superior to Pliebisitary Delegate, but something happens to many who serve for a considerable length of time...they become overly aware of the mantle of office. Hatch has let that mantle dilute, pervert, compromise and marginalize what good intentions he held to begin with in his career, and while realizing his emasculation has resorted to bluster and high rhetoric thinking it a replacement for conservative action. He used the term 'pussy-foot' in a speech last week, doesn't that tell the whole story.
The one and only gun-rights grabbin', first-amendment stompin', Anti-Bush, Senator John McCain.
I don't think he can be topped in VA but nationally......so many choices......so little time......
It would have to be Trent 'Vacant' Lott in 1st place followed closely by John McSwine.
I vote for the supposedly Republican Senator who voted against the George Bush tax cut with the following statement...
"I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief." - statement of Senator John McCain, Saturday, May 26, 2001
I expect this type of class warfare rhetoric from Democrats, NOT Republicans.
John McCain finds himself siding with Democrats more and more. With Senators Lieberman and Schumer on trampling gun rights, and of course, with Senator Feingold on Campaign Finance Reform - "leftislation" he demanded be taken up in Congress this year BEFORE anything from President Bush's agenda could be heard.
It was John McCain, who in the face of the terrorist attacks on our nation, decided it would be an opportune time to revive what he refers to as his "gun show loophole" legislation, with the following statement...
"Clearly, alleged members of terrorist organizations have been able to secure guns and weapons using the gun show loophole." - Senator McCain, November 26, 2001
Pardon me, but weren't the planes that were used as weapons of murder and destruction on September 11th taken over with knives and boxcutters?
Yes, Mr. Moore, Senator McCain makes an outstanding choice for RINO of the Year!

Bush doesn't have any conservatism in his makeup, Slim. Every single one of his kneejerks has been a socialist knee jerk. We must have been watching two different Geedubs, you and I.
The GOP leadership intentionally threw the election to Johnson when Goldwater challenged their status quo. They tried to do the same thing to Reagan. Since Reagan left office, there has been a steady culling of the ranks of conservatives. I'm not talking about the rank and file, though the number of conservative spear cariers has been dwindling since '96. Face it. The GOP's conservative element is done for. The leadership's brief flirtation with conservatism ended when Reagan left office.
