That’s Right Nate

Neo-Socialist RINO Robert Bennett was defeated this week in the Republican Primary for Utah Senator coming in third behind Tim Bridgewater and Mike Lee.   Bennett angered many grass roots conservatives by attempting to pass legislation and work with Democrats instead of voting against every Democratic proposal sight unseen.   A tearful Bennett called that atmosphere “toxic”, but his mood was in contrast to conservatives who reacted jubilantly.   Party delegate Steve Ford celebrated the news with his wives saying, “This is a victory for conservatives across the country.  We need politicians with principles and we’ll do what we can to get them.”

Bennett, one of the more liberal members of the United States Senate, has a long history of championing far left causes.   While he’s been a consistent pro-life vote he has shown some support for stem cell research.   While being the only member of either party against the Domestic Powers Benefits and Obligations Act, which would provide benefits to the domestic partners of gay and lesbian federal employees, he lacked the requisite conservative scowl.

Bennett has also failed to crack down on issues important to Utah conservatives such as women wearing pants in public, state residents who skip Sunday church services, and race mixing.   While there is no tea party in Utah because tea is a caffeinated beverage and hence prohibited by the Mormon faith, a grassroots conservative movement has likewise sprung up in the Polygamy State.  This was indeed a grim day for Democrat hopes in the 2010 election.

I have posted before that if we’re serious about turning the Republican Party around we need to get more elite. Our brand has to be like the Navy Seals or limited edition Precious Moments figurines. By cutting the number of Republicans way down, we can create a demand for us that will only serve us well in future elections. Obviously, Republicans in name only (RINOs) like Colin Powell, Olympia Snow, and the McCains need to hit the road, but who are the other threats to our party from within.

7. Rick Perry – When he ran for governor, he promised to secure the Texas / mexico border. As soon as he was elected, he totally reneged on the promise.
He also got a new business tax approved that was supposed to relieve residential property tax payers of their crushing taxes. Not only are business paying taxes they didn’t have to pay prior to 2008, homeowners are paying more property tax.

6. Pete Sessions – As head of the RNCC was complicit in allowingrampant RINOism to spread.

5. Lindsay Graham – His last opponent in the South Carolina Republican primary had a campaign slogan that “Lindsay Graham is too liberal for South Carolina.” I think he went even further over the top when he had a disgustingly kiss kis press conference showing his support for Obama.

4. Mitch McConnell – Was in favor of a stimulus package and big government spending

3. Nancy Reagan – She’s pro-stem cell research, she was a big McCain supporter in the primary over legitimate conservatives, and she has become an embarrassment to her husband’s legacy.

2. Newt Gingrich – He’s been making the round on liberal networks to attack Rush and Dick Cheney for their strident defense of America.

1. Dick Cheney - Though it pains me to admit it, Cheney is a big government liberal at heart. That can’t be changed by simply waterboarding a few terrorists.

Simply, by getting rid of these 7 pseudo Republicans, our party will become stronger. Let’s not waste time showing them them the door.
