And if I were him I would be just a wee bit concerned about the new Pew poll on voter identification. According to an article in the hard copy version of the Washington Times, conservative self-identification is continuing to hold steady at 37%, about twice the rate as liberal self-identification, while Republican self-identification is in free fall. And even amongst self-identified Republicans, satisfaction with the party is down around 74%. Sounds like a lot of people at the top of the party have done, and are continuing to do a lot of things wrong. And I don’t see how that’s going to help elect more Republicans at any level of government.

BTW…Crist is out there disparately trying to convince everyone he’s a “Fiscal” conservative.. in an op ed…look for a diary on that one from me.

John Cornyn I appreciate the different views on purely political matters; however, this page is dedicated to non-electoral issues of public concern. While it is a fine line, I hope we can continue to have good discussions on issues of interest to Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. I pledge to find an appropriate forum for debates, both pro and con, about specific candidates. Thanks for your consideration.

My reply…how long will it take them to pull it down?

Huh…is that so? guess that’s why there are comments on several other issues on the wal yet you are striping and censoring those who take issue with the Crist endorsement…curious isn’t it?

Crist/Rubio
I’m not going to repeat the same things discussed on a daily basis but provide the links I decided to now keep handy since the Crist/Rubio thing just isn’t going to go away and I frankly think some of it is being distorted daily (look and decide for yourself)…. It’s all about returning to Majority status STRATEGY….

Bi-Partisanship is really Democrats joining with Republicans, but it goes on as the usual MSM biased spin – again, Bi-Partisanship has really been Democrats joining with Republicans (here) and here

Just before the TARP Senate vote, I received a telemarketing phone call from the NRSC asking for a donation. I told them I would donate $10 for every Republican Senator who voted against TARP. 37 voted against it and so I sent the NRSC a check for $370. (My name made the list of NRSC contributors you posted a few days ago.)

So I told Sen. Cornyn on FB about my recent first time contribution and how disappointed I was in the Crist endorsement. I told him not to expect further donations from me if this behavior continued.

I can’t wait for the next NRSC telemarketing call.

Why would anyone go on MSNBC, but avoid talk radio like the plague? Talk radio has, in one day, the audience of MSNBC in a week. And its listeners are the heart and soul of the GOP.

It’s said an elephant never forgets, and we will all remember these fair-weather Republicans come election time.

Maybe he’ll get the message…..

Thank you.

But your overall point is valid – if the GOP politicians don’t get off the dime, like *yesterday*, it’s time to start thinking about cutting them all loose.

But you’d think the recent incident with Specter would have gotten them to reconsider how far “moderates” can be trusted.
