how do we remove Rino's from elected office?

[joe 6 pack]

We have too many LIBERAL Repbulicans including our governor who embrace the Junk Science of Global warming, support the bail out, open borders, and PORK. How can we get beyond the committees and party enablers of these vile types!?

[Paul Franklin]

Rosk asked "How do you know global warming is junk science?" This is a good example of a RINO attitude...willing to go along with junk science and political hackery like Al Gore's, for the sole purpose of "getting along". When in fact, blaming man for global warming is nothing but an attempt to defeat capitalism and America.

There is a lot of good research on "environmentalism" and how environmentalist groups are hostile to capitalism and embrace socialism as a preferable economic system:

The whole "Green" movement is a farce perpetrated by the inventor of the internet (Al Gore). Another liberal idea to bankrupt America. Now all of a sudden it is fashionable to be Green. I got news for all of the "Green" people. I have been an environmentalist all of my life. I do not need big brother telling me how to conserve energy. We need to discuss the myth and junk science of the Green movement. I believe many RINO's buy into this.

Martin, unfortunately they are too busy trying to "reach across the isle"

How about if you don't follow the platform you're a RINO? If the Republicans actually read their platform they'd no better than to vote on these bailouts.

[Terrence Abrams]

Wow, NC is sounding like a sucky political state there Paul!

[Terrence Abrams]

Texas held Red, now latest movements and polls show is moving even more Red from the recent DNC gains. So that is some good news in our area. Maybe the rebuilding starts in our state.

Hey, maybe Texas can get Dr. Paul and the GOP back together after all.....

[Rosk]

Folks, I never stated that I believe in global warming, I just like statements/claims to be supported evidence, such as facts or statistics. You give me that type of information, then I'll have an easier time buying what your saying. In fact, this is the problem with the anti-global warming folks. Many conservatives just say "it's a lie" or "Al Gore made it up". This may be true, but people, suburban professionals who we need to support the GOP, will actually listen if you have facts, such as warming trends are a natural part of the Earth's cycles. Just saying its a lie or a plot isn't going to cut it or buy us respect or get us votes.

I wish people would read what I said before accusing me of being a "RINO". I was attempting to point out the necessity of backing up an argument with facts/statistics, rather than vitriol or unfounded opinion. We can only be a majority party if we are seen as trustworthy and knowledgeable.

If believing in free markets and free minds and the historical foundations of the GOP handed down by Coolidge, Taft, and Goldwater makes me a RINO, then so be it.

First we must find a stronger Conservative replacement. We've already recognized the problem, now it's time to act towards the solution. Getting involved in local politics is a great way to start the process. But even for State races we need to put our time and money where our mouth is...and Donate to those candidates that represent our Values.

[Terrence Abrams]

What part of the country do you hail from BG? We have meetings in Houston getting underway if your around and interested.

Kristin, while I admire your comments and agree with everything beyond the first line and I'm changing my opinion on pro-military as that has to be redefined as of late, and I'm still developing my opinion on that. I think sometimes you MUST call a spade a spade and look i've tried the "nice guy" approach for years and its gotten me shot down almost 90% of the time. Enough it might wake a few up, we had a gang of 6 TOTAL Rinos in our state face tough re-elections and 4 out of the 6 got out, 2 were defeated by dems. Other Rino's got back in. What should we label FEDERAL socialists who backed the Bailouts, only Michele Bachmann and a DEM colin peterson had the 'balls' to vote against it, in our state. the other 4 Dems and other 2 GOP's voted for ALL of them.
The other 2 GOP'rs need to go. My suggestion is to withhold support, and harrass there offices. We DON'T need the those who compromise on their platforms as they only go one direction.

I like Rusty h's analogy here. When someone in a white gown plays with pigs the GOWN always gets dirty and the pigs NEVER get cleaned from that...

Kristin said:

You know, labeling people as "RINOs" is counterproductive. This is precisely the attitude that has caused the GOP to lose this election. I'm a small-government, financially conservative Republican. I'm pro-military, against gun bans, against abortion yet, I'm all right with gay marriage, for promoting responsible sexuality (i.e. not abstinence only) to teenagers, for moves that would decriminalize certain amounts of marijuana (which is truly in the best interest of streamlining the justice system.) etc. My beliefs have been carefully reasoned and well thought out, and it's led me to ultimately believe that the Republican Party is the better party. I don't think this makes me any less of a Republican than others and I resent indications that I should be excluded because I don't fall into lock-step extremes. I volunteered for the McCain campaign for 8 months and have been involved in Republican groups for about a year or two now.
It's time for those of us who are politically active to grow up and get past this cliquey, "you're not a real Republican" attitude. I'm not saying that the party needs to be expanded to include those who are mostly liberal or truly liberal, but there needs to be a place for more moderate Republicans in the party. Alienating people the people who support you is not beneficial to anyone.

If your whining about the "NAME CALLING" so be it, sometimes when your NOT allowed to speak or you are censored the only way to get a CHANCE to speak is to do just that as those with Ego's are forced to respond and always do. Its kind of like a challenge and I've found almost ALL Rino's to be some of the biggest! Also, they are the ones who don't like these labels and try to talk of unity and togetherness blah blah blah. Either we shift the ideas of people or in your case you seem to follow the "better red then dead analogy" at least your all together, yippee...

So long as we have the http://CFR.org and people like Soros, kIssenger vetting people we have to do something or we're going to keep this viscious cycle going.

actually I seldom ever see people that beleive like any of us do ( America, Constitution, anti Socialist etc) seperate into groups.It is only the outsiders that determine if Shelly is a Rino and Dolly is a Conserv. or Bam Bam is a Democrat, We dont really care because we like the label American. The Socialist indocternated people are having tags ingrained into them and that is a root of Communism

In Europe they seldom discussed the levels of people untill they seperated the Jews. They are a race most of the European countries detested because the Governments encouraged it. Later the Commie developed the workers and the members of the peoples Party. China had the Royalty and the peasants. In both those cases the rich were considered the Evil and they must be over ran. Sound familiar ? We have the poor , middle class , the higher earners and the Elite. Obama and his movement want to remove the High earners and claim to remove the poor--elite is no touchable

So with this tag system they try to break us down and by doing so they have created groups of us to try to have us go against our different groups. Just like the author of this Topic intended us to go for the throat of the Rino and most of us are saying who cares what any one thinks of a Rino. We dont even have a definition for Rino amongst ourselves--the Socialist do and can find it in wikipedia for sure. We dont care if Bill is a Rino or Debbie is a Federalist or Julio is a Democrat. Thats right we are Democrats also! Divide and conquer will not work with true Americans like us

So take your little Rino theory and go tell it on the Mountain, we dont care, if they are doing the best to thier ability to reinforce the American Way , so be it. If we think someone can do better we will elect that person. We dont care about Dynasty or name ( or if they are Rino)

[Jim Rock]

this has been an interesting topic, not one of us Americans will permit ourselves to be Re Educated by stabing Wind, oops I mean Joe pack six x 6 pack, every time a person writes whats a Rino there is all kind of socialist web sites directed to us, name calling and disregard for anyone ones opinion and disgusting phrases, Im sure glad my wife has never turned to this topic because she would cut lose in a frenzy------- and the bottom line from most of the people here is-----------PFFFFFT

It is really very easy, vote them out. Just make sure you do not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
