Baloney. Try factual arguments, please.
He posted facts, you just don't like to be reminded of them.

Actually, the first poster posted an assertion and a challenge. The second poster you are responding to did in fact fail to show the assertion was wrong. Maybe that means Smith only voted with the enviro wackos against drilling in ANWAR and the first poster's assertion is correct or maybe the poster you are responding to is correct.
But I do not believe the facts are established, but I do know that Smith supported Kerry so to me it does not seem that NH conservatives had a choice between a RINO, Sununu and a solid conservative in Smith. So it seems that the choice was between two typical NE GOP candidates. With one you get certain things you like and with others you get other things you like.
How about comparing Smith's voting record with Sununu.
Smith was crapped on by the RINO wing of the party, you can observe the same thing right now happening with Dr. Coburn. Did you know he already has ethics charges pending?
Why do you think they rejected Don Nickles, and promoted a single termer spineless jellyfish as leader? Why did they shut Jim Inhoff down?
Why do they attack Tancredo?
Why did they elevate Spector even though the party faithful, new full well he would waffle?
I can understand why Smith became disillusioned with the party leadership. I think what he did was stupid, but I can understand his frustration. Sadly we see this kind of erratic behavior from older defeated men. Barry Goldwater being a prime example.
If we don't fix the Judge issue in the Senate and fix immigration, I will stay home, next election. Because in the long run, it won't matter. My time here is winding down, so I doubt I will live to see the worst of what is coming, but I somehow don't think God will hold my generation blameless for what we have left our children to deal with.
