The thought is simple, why protect a Republican running for office if their voting record will differ little from the Democrats.

If the only two viable choices are someone who will punch me in the nose 24/7 and someone who will only do so eight hours a day, I'll take that small break for now and work for something better in the future.

its funny...because you posted this ..then that pretty much assures this thread wont have any of those "YOURE NOT A REAL REPUBLICAN, SO GO BACK TO DU!" annoying type head-in-the-sand posters. Feel free to post more articles like this one!

I think a RINO is worse than a Dem.

RINOs translate into GOP committee chairmanships and committee majorities, which makes a huge difference. If you are the GOP, you definitely prefer RINOs to DEMs. Unfortunately, if you prefer GOP leadership to DEM leadership, then you MUST prefer RINOs over DEMs.

The Primaries are the perfect place for Conservatives to show their displeasure, and not during the General Elections. As you have shown, it is possible to make our voices heard without handing victories to the Democrats.

[Restorer]

Dang good point.

Those who wonder how Democrats could possibly be worse are likely to find out.

[RKV]

Thanks for posting Jim Rob. Sounds like the R for Republican brand is starting to mean something more than just "not a DemocRAT."

I could tolerate it if RINOs occasionally wandered off the reservation. But increasingly they're acting like conservatives can go take a hike and conservatives have enough.

Hear hear, Jim. And let's all sign on to this movement.

Don't count Newt out. He is now visiting a lot of states saying all the right things. Recently he was in New Hampshire. Now why do you imagine that might be? I say it's for a 2008 run for the White House.

Are you listening, Chuck Hagel? Start looking for work now, with your buddies in Foggy Bottom. Cuz you ain't got a prayer back here!

Sometimes it takes a dose of bitter medicine to cure the liberal RINO disease.

I hate to say this, but I'm not sure I would have voted for GWB if I had known he would go this whacky on immigration.

[abseaman]

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done.

As for Guiliani, no from me.
McCain, I'll sit home and watch fresh paint dry.

WOW! This is awesome. May the conservative crackdown continue.

[Luke21]

"I'd vote for them without regad to thier party affiliation."

You sound like you're from Boston. Nice accent.

[IronJack]

I think it had a lot more to do with the fact [Osborne] didn't take much of a stand on ANYTHING..

Didn't take any stand in Congress, didn't take any stand in the gov's race. Tom Osborne is a political zero.

[gusopol3]

if they'd put in term limits like they said they would 12 years ago, the country would be a far stronger, freer republic, and we'd have been spared the spectacle of good men slowly corupted by power and the corrosive effect on ideals of trying to retain it.

[Owen]

This is what primaries are for.

But if a RINO is the party's nominee, he will likely be more conservative than the Dem and in the general election, the choice ic clear.

[cripplecreek]

They're acting like a union telling management (us) how things will be done.

[ovrtaxt]

Hope so Jim, but of the supposed "2008 republican" candidates, only George Allen is a true Conservative!

Watch Mike Pence.
