Who are these traitorous RINOs in the Senate, so we can work like h*ll to get them diselected!

The lies these people tell to try to keep their power are no longer credible.

Senator Warner is from Virginia. This may be his last term. As bad as he is on RKBA issues, I wouldn't be surprised if our current Governor Warner (D) replaces him - which would be a disaster for those of us who are also fiscal conservatives and who believe in the Right to Life.

"...Getting the 1994 assault weapons prohibition renewed has been a Democratic priority this year. They picked up support Tuesday from GOP Sens. John Warner of Virginia, Mike DeWine of Ohio and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island.

"Although I voted against the ban a decade ago, over the past 10 years it has reduced crime dramatically and has made our streets safer," Warner said. "The legislation also has protected the rights of gun owners better than many of us predicted."

Richard Lugar, John Warner, Lincoln Chafee, Mike DeWine, John McCain and Peter Fitzgerald failed to sponsor the Lawful Commerce in Firearms bill, i.e. the product liabilty wanted by the firearm manufacturers. Others accused of being RINOs include Arlen Spector, who has a primary challenge, Charles Grassley and Orin Hatch, but Hatch sponsored a bill to recognize gun rights in D.C.

IIRC, Chafee and Warner won elections in 2002. Warner had no rat opposition, IIRC, but this term may be his swan song. Fitzgerald is retiring this year, and maybe McCain might join him. AFAIK, McCain hasn't announced his intention. If he runs, I expect a primary challenge. I believe all the rest are safe this year.
