    Default Another RINO kicked out

    Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

    SALT LAKE CITY - Once-popular Sen. Bob Bennett fell victim to a growing national conservative movement with his stunning defeat at Utah's GOP convention.

    Delegates voted Saturday to bar the 76-year-old senator from seeking a fourth term, making him the first congressional incumbent to be ousted this year and demonstrates the challenges candidates face from the right in 2010.

    Bennett was under fire for voting to bail out Wall Street, co-sponsoring a bipartisan bill mandating health insurance coverage and for aggressively pursuing earmarks.

    "The political atmosphere obviously has been toxic, and it's very clear that some of the votes that I have cast have added to the toxic environment," Bennett told reporters Saturday, choking back tears.

    Democrats are weak, Republicans are evil, over and over and over again. That's how politics works in America.

    And why the libertarian-leaners actually made some Conservatives "uncomfortable" during TEA Party protests, enough so some of the religious folk expressed it exactly that way.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    keep kicking out people from your party.

    Keep eliminating voters from your rolls.

    Keep pissing off anyone who is not in line with your narrowing views.

    Its the best thing for America.

    On Mother's day I was talking about this with some hard working republicans at the lower, local levels of government and they are fighting to bring back rationalism to their party. They think the tea party and the far right are more dangerous than the democrats. Kinda weird, I wished them luck.

    I have said it before, and I will say it again, if the republicans would put a fiscal conservative out there, they would win by a landslide.

    Leave the social conservatives and religious kooks out of the mix.
