I disagree with Sunnunu on this issue, but still support him on turncoat Smith who has turned liberal on several other issues and who cannot win the general election.

That's a bunch of crapola and you know it. Smith switched sides on only one issue of concern to conservatives--oil drilling in ANWR. However, Smith supports drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and Sununu opposes it so I find Sununu's criticism of Smith on this issue rather hypocritical to say the least. Care to list any other votes by Senator Smith which are indicative of him "turning liberal"? Obviously not, because he hasn't cast any other "liberal" votes. This is just really a straw argument designed to justify electing a moderate good for nothing 40% conservative who votes liberal 60% of the time RINO like Sununu and I think that it is about time that some of his supporters start fessing up to this fact. Smith is a conservative hero along the lines of Jesse Helms and Ronald Reagan.

Saying he is too liberal and unelectable is patently false in view of the above facts and the fact that he has not lost an election for the last two decades. Smith got re-elected last time even though the liberal media pundits predicted he would lose. This year is no different. The liberals are still saying he's unelectable even though the latest poll shows him leading his Democrap opponent, Shaheen. So much for the electability straw argument...The truth is that if Sununu hadn't waged backstabbing internicene warfare against incumbent GOP Senator Robert Smith he would be leading Shaheen by a lot more than he currently is and would probably have this race "in the bag" by now. What is most troubling about Sununu is that for selfish and personal reasons he chose to sabotage Bush's efforts to win this seat in an election in which Bush badly needs a GOP majority in the Senate to further his agenda.

Smith switched sides on only one issue of concern to conservatives--oil drilling in ANWR. However, Smith supports drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and Sununu opposes it so I find Sununu's criticism of Smith on this issue rather hypocritical to say the least.

Well, let me enlighten you a bit. The citizens of the state of Alaska overwhelmingly want to drill for oil in their state.

The Gulf Coast citizens overwhelmingly do not want to drill for oil offshore.

So in essence the conservative respecting states rights is Sunnunu and the guy ignoring states rights, and as an aside American energy security, is Bob Smith.
