True, but not far enough. One of the problems we've had here in Pennsylvania is that the Republican party hierarchy constantly messes with the primaries to try to ensure their anointed candidates win. This is anathema to many of us, who oddly enough think that the primaries are our time to choose the candidates for the general election. So I say, defeat RINOs in the primaries, but also make sure that you know who you're voting for for the state committee posts (usually voted on at primary time) and make sure they're committed, principled conservatives, not part of the mine-by-divine-right party elite.
You are assuming he is in Clinton's league. I don't believe that is the case. If he is the person who appears to be the most conservative then I will vote for him. We are past the time when we can hope for the perfect candidate. We must pick one who will listen to America's conservative base.
Of course she would. Her best chance at the White House will be if the illegals get to vote. I KNOW the RATS have been signing illegals up every single chance they get, and there's no doubt in my mind that many illegals will be allowed to vote, using the same tactics that were used in the last couple of races. We are in 100% agreement about her, and the rest of the RATS. Why did you think we weren't? I personally would crawl across the city on broken glass to get to the polls so I could vote against her. Let's just hope there's a true conservative running against the RATS that will bring other conservatives back to the polls.
If the election comes down to Hillary, McCain, or Joe Schmoe, I'm voting for Schmoe.
Who's the troll who put "NEWMORONITY" in the keywords I wonder?

Troll? Oh, you're much too kind. I'm an evil Independent Conservative, Thank You.
What's the difference between the New Majority (RINO driven moderate) movement (with many of the same Main Street Partnership perps represented in both) and a New Moronity?
If you're not able to make that connection, fine, I'll ask to have it deleted if it is still upsetting after that brief explanation.
I guess they haven't made the same inroads in your state as they have in many others ... I , for one, am well aware of what moderates have "delivered" us and bound us to as well issues-wise the last few years.
I know he has not been convicted (yet) but if he has nothing to hide, why did he drop out of the race? If I'm innocent, I'm gonna fight like heck and let the world know that I've been railroaded for political gain by those who oppose me.
I do not discount all the good he did for the Conservative cause. I just wish he'd never gotten in bed with Jack Abramhoff. As I've said before; plant 20 acres of wheat and in the center of it, plant 5 acres of stink weed. The 20 acres of wheat does not offset the 5 acres of stink weed.
Yes, I am very disappointed in that man.
It's nice when people take interest. But it's great when they take action. This is a good thing.
Think it is possible they are all smart enough to not turn over seats to Democrats?
I hope people have been at least this active with Democrats.
What I'd REALLY like to see is a credible opposition party, but that doesn't seem to happen. Most countries seem to have at least one socialist party. Which sort of narrows down the options.
As for Specter, he's WAY better than a DEM. Look at all the party line votes on the judiciary committee.
From your keyboard to God's ears.
Primaries are the appropriate place for this sort of housecleaning. Hopefully, all the talk about conservatives staying home in the fall is MSM wishful thinking, or just the spleen-venting of justifiably frustrated conservative voters. Then again, when are we not justifiably frustrated?
Wrong question. Voting for a President who supports Specter over Toomey in the primary is the problem. Granted, we all *thought* he was a conservative, so there we go.
The Bush-bots are very sad.
Yes! On to South Carolina and Dump that RINO bath house boy Lindsey Graham.
VERY VERY SAD!
Really? Who did John Kerry support? Sheesh. The 2004 presidential election was the ultimate no-brainer.
Granted, we all *thought* he was a conservative, so there we go.
Not really. I think even his critics--and I'm no bot--must admit GWB has for the most part done exactly the things he said he would do. Even the abhorrent stuff. His immigration policy is exactly what he described way back in 2000. His stupid medicare bill was promised as far back as 99. The only area where he really contradicted his campaign promises was on foreign policy. He was supposedly opposed to nation building, but somehow, ragheads blowing up buildings in NYC and DC magically made nation building sensible. But besides that, he's been just what he said he'd be.
I'm going to use my rental car discount next weekend. I like to wear my NRA cap to the mall: I'm like Moses parting the Red Sea through the kids with baggy pants, and the university people practically making the `sign of the cross' at me! :-)
Btw, drove by my (ex) favorite Mexican restaurant ten minutes ago. Newspaper had article about how they closed May day, etc.
Usually at dinner-time Sat night, their parking lot is overflow. There were about 6 cars in the lot . . . .
Que lastima!
Well, I'm a BushBot and the only one of these I'm sad about is Chis Cannon, a House Manager and 100% ACU conservative.
