The abortion of the American Economy known as ACES was rejected by some House Democrats who were unwilling to collectively crucify private-sector workers on a cross of trendy pseudoscience. Yet a few turncoat Republicans saved Obama’s bacon. When the Heller case (that demanded that residents of the District of Columbia be included in the traditional scope of the Second Amendment) was under review by the Supreme Court, Amicus Curiae briefs were circulated in both houses of Congress. A majority of members in both chambers signed the pro-freedom brief and only a gaggle of ‘progressives’ in the House signed the opposing brief. The non-signers are those who seem to think that only criminals should be armed and that residents of the District of Columbia are truly second class citizens. Most Republicans signed the brief but a few did not. Most of the Republicans who were ‘Rahmed’ on the job-killer bill seem to be in the ‘gun grabber’ category, as indicated by the following list of the latest sellouts:
New Jersey Republicans include a criminal element as well as some decent people.
Note that three of the RINO sellouts were from that state. When a true reformer arises, a confederacy of RINO dunces ride to thwart him.
Steve Forbes was effectively pulling the strings for Christie Todd Whitman when she ran for Governor. She was a wealthy airhead but she chose do ‘drop the pilot’ and do her own thing. Note that even Howard Stern pushed her candidacy.
When a conservative Republican got elected mayor of a majority black city and turned the place around, one would think that he would be a political superstar. Not so to the people that run the party. More recently, Steve Lonegan took on the teachers’ union and halted some costly featherbedding and pushed for a flat tax. Again the RINOS pushed for Chris Christie for governor.
Playing ‘DemLite’ to win some meaningless victories is not the way to fix problems.
Mike Castle of Delaware is a pleasant person. Politically, he is a POS and needs to go,
Well, all three Repubs in my state voted against this Crap & Trade bill. No RINO’s here!
No one from the Keystone State, either, but now that Arlen Specter has ceased being a RINO, I guess we already know where his vote will fall.
Absolutely! This gives Specter the chance to prove his loyalty so he gets his pay back next election with lots of Dem. support.
Art,
For openers, here’s my opening salvo against scumbag Castle. We need to discuss a Primary.
Dear Mike,
After seeing you were one of the eight Republicans who voted Yea on H.R. 2454, it left me no choice but to ask that you to leave the party. You don’t represent me or any other Delaware Republicans I know. In fact most now grit their teeth to the thought of you continuing to serve out your term as a Republican. As such, it is with great sadness I must ask you to change parties or resign.
I don’t know what the Statist Party gave you and the other RINOs from Jersey & Maryland to sell out my liberty and freedom, but all of you deserve to be tarred & feathered. I don’t normally yell in my emails, but as your boss you’ve left me little choice but to give you a good old fashion ass-chewing.
YOU’RE A TRAITOR TO CONSERVATIVES AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! WE DON’T NEED YOU AND DON’T WANT YOU! YOU’RE FIRED! GET OUT!
P.S. You need not send me any of your crap about how you’re helping me and other Delaware Republicans. It’s an insult to our intelligence.
