Top 10 Senate RINOs

by Human Events

03/11/2009



As part of HUMAN EVENTS ongoing campaign against Republicans in name only (RINOs) we have compiled a list of the Top 10 Most Liberal Republican Senators based on the American Conservative Union Ratings for 2008 (110th Congress, second session. The ratings all compare rather unfavorably with that of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), chairman of the Repubican Steering Committee. Sen. DeMint’s score was a perfect 100)

On the conservative scale, the ten lowest-scoring senators are:

1. Olympia Snowe, Maine: (ACU Rating: 12)

(Only one point higher than liberal Democrat Hillary Clinton who the ACU scored an 11, and an astonishing 4 points lower than Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid’s 16.)

2. Susan Collins, Maine: 20
(Collins received the same score as liberal Claire McCaskill, and 4 points lower than Russ Feingold’s 24)

3. Arlen Specter, PA: 42 (Only 10 points higher than Mary Landrieu’s 32)

4. George Voinovich, OH: 52

5. Lisa Murkowski, AL: 58

6. Mel Martinez, FL: 60

7. John McCain, AZ: 63

8. Richard Lugar, Ind: 63

9. Robert Bennett, UT: 64

10. Thad Cochran, Miss: 68

I feel a bit left out that our local RiNo was left out.. lobiondo should have made the list..

Another point about Castle is that Republicans who represent districts in his neck of the woods -- Charlie Dent (PA-15), Gerlach, Peter King (NY-3), Leonard Lance (NJ-7), Frank LoBiondo (NJ-2), Todd Platts (PA-19) -- all tend to cluster around the same ideological position as Castle. And if you look at the 109th Congress, the last time the GOP had a majority and when there were many more northeastern Republicans, you'll see that Castle was right smack dab in the middle of this geographical group of GOPers. This means that Castle is pretty much a mainstream Republican for the Northeast. He's not some extreme RINO heretic. He's just a northeastern Republican.

but face it.. they might not be extreme rinos... but given the choice between a blue dog Democrat or a rino.. and it becomes a toss up...

so why support them?

Get rid of them all.

If they are not Conservative, they do not deserve to be in Government. Liberals should be in charge of special interest groups. Let them convince the majority, when it comes to their "special interest projects"

Castle is calling Odonnel an idiot, which I find interesting.

So if she is an idiot and she beat him...what does that make him.

The other stance he could take is the voters are idiots who voted for her.

The guy loses either way

Coons will use the "she's a radical" platform in the general election canpaign.

all she has to do is answer to her past mistakes honestly and ask for a chance given the record of Dems in the Senate at present.

I have no doubt that if it gets dirty she will advertise his marxist background and some other dirty laundry.

Keep it to the issues and she will win.

I just read that Murkowski is going to run as a write in against Miller-
Castle might decide to do that too-

If they do it just proves their Liberalism- do anything to defeat a Conservative at any cost. gotta keep their lib buddys in office.

They are going to find out that the voters don't have the patience for their games.

Even Dems should realize that there is a reason that they were not re-elected in the primaries.

If they are elected? Then you know the Dems. don't have the Country's best interests at heart.

This is where the Tea Party may end up being the Democrats best friend--just like Ross Perot did years ago getting Clinton elected....

The evangelicals and far right's split from the Repub party is what put Obama and a Dem majority in office the last election-- and I think that is what Dems are hoping for again this time...

It's NOT the TEA party doing it- the are not running as write-ins it's the RHINOS- well so far it's just a threat from 1, Murkowski
This would be different than Perot- this would be the liberal wing deliberatly trying to sandbag the Conservative.
Hopefully as Hypo said- "WE the People" are smart enough to see through this cherade and vote in the Conservative.

"Unsuccessful GOP campaigns and deflated GOP pundits: Remember, attitudes are contagious. So, make sure yours are worth catching," Palin said.

She said that "unsuccessful campaigns and expert Beltway pundits'' were "all bent out of shape,'' but asked them to buck up. "You win some, you lose some,'' she said.

Palin's speech came as some Republicans were still smarting after a primary season in which many contests were made more competitive by her endorsements. Even as she spoke, word was circulating that one Republican she helped defeat in a primary, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), had decided to mount a write-in bid for re-election. Murkowski's decision may diminish the chances of Palin's endorsed candidate in that contest, GOP nominee Joe Miller.

She singled out Bush strategist Karl Rove, who has been highly critical of Christine O'Donnell, a Palin-endorsed candidate who won the GOP nomination for Senate in Delaware. The night of the election Tuesday, Rove predicted that O'Donnell wouldn't be able to win in November.

Palin suggested that Rove come to Iowa so he could "see the light and realize that these are the normal hard-working patriotic Americans who are saying no, enough is enough, we want to turn this around."

There you have it!

But will the Repubs be able to come up with a national candidate- a Presidential candidate- that will satisfy the Tea Party?

McCain had a chance to win til the evangelicals and far right deserted him- then he brought in Palin to court them- and in doing so lost all the moderates and Independents...
Not sure if there is any "national" candidate that can make the split Repub party all happy...

McCain is not running oldtime have you gone senile to the last election?

Thats my point- who in the Republican party can satisfy the Tea Party and radical right movement, the Evangelicals, the moderates and neocons- and still bring in the Independents..... :???:

The party split got them defeated last time- and as I see it now- with the addition of the Tea Party movement- it adds another split to the party.....

The radicalism of Palin is what ran many Repubs/Independents over to Obama and the Dems last time.....

I'd wager that right now Palin's "radicalism" looks mighty good compared to the Mulatto's handling of the last 2 years. How's that "hopenchange" workin' out for ya, Short timer?

So far there is little that the Obama Presidency has done that has negatively affected me ....
I see positive movement in the USDA working with Ag producers to restore enforcement of the GIPSA rules and the PSA act-- as well as the USDA and DOJ working together and meeting with producers for the first time in history to look into the anti trust concentration and violations of the Packing industry...And finally recognizing the importance of small business and producers over multinational corporates- and giving them some recognition...

I also see positive movement in the USDA now realizing the problems in the Bush Mandatory ID- and working with producers looking at ways to make it workable so that it does not create undue hardships or slow the speed of commerce...

I also see positive in the Bank Reforms that will close many of the loopholes that allowed Fatcat bankers to play roulette with their investors savings...Loopholes and nonenforcement that brought on the Bush Bust.....

My next hope is that they can get the campaign finance law thru- to shutdown the loophole made by the SCOTUS ruling which ultimately allows corporates and foreign entities to anonymously finance campaign ads.... (a change in the law which I heard the other day several of the Tea Party groups are also supporting)..
