I mean why was the subject even broached in the first place by some Dems at the hearings?

Was the whole idea to point out some more "Liebermans" who have infiltrated our party?

If that was the plan it sure worked. We know who we need to replace next election now. Don't we?

Baby steps.

5. You are probably right, Sir

But I sure have a close eye on a couple of them now.

May not have been a plan but the results are there.

2. Interesting twist on finding the enemy within...
Do you have a list of the DINO's that were exposed using the Waterboard issue?

4. Schumer & Dino Feinstein aren't worried.
They aren't due for re-election in '08.

6. True, re election is a long time off...
But in the mean time, we can ostracized (shine a bright light on) them to minimize further damage they may cause.

7. Aren't worried? Their elections are about a year away
It will give us some time to find some real Dems to replace them with.

If the election were this month we wouldn't have the time to get rid of them.

10. So it will take a little longer? We still know we have to dump them ASAP
This is a good thing to be aware of. I could never trust either of them again.

11. It's all the more surprising, knowing they are firmly seated for a couple more years.
I would think that Schumer especially would feel comfortable.

I think Feinstein is pretty much a DINO, Schumer not so much, but I'm astonished that he voted for Mukasey.

12. Not only did he vote for Mukasey. He suggested his name
That takes things to another level.

8. Remember to always refer to them with the suffix (D-Torturer)
Whenever you mention their names. On as many public message boards and LTTEs as possible. Also on freeway blogs and signs posted along their travel routes. Send them a nice Christmas card addressed that way. Keep the TORTURER out front.

13. Yeah, but other than Dino Fienstein.....
Who are the other CONFIRMED Dino's? The ones we need to lose?

Class III only, please. No sense worrying about 2010 and 2012 just yet. We have enough to do over he next year and need to pack both houses with enough moderate and liberal dems to offset both the Dinos and RNC faithful.
