First to throw overboard
“I think the important thing for the Republican Party is now to also look at other issues that are very important for this country and not to get stuck in ideology... Let’s go and talk about healthcare reform. Let’s go and . . . fund programs if they’re necessary programs and not get stuck just on the fiscal responsibility (presumably this means it's okay to be fiscally irresponsible?).” Thus saith Arnold Schwarzenegger, who needs to be the first RINO thrown overboard by the Republican Party. His brand of republicanism needs to be roundly repudiated by every true conservative and he needs to be deprived of any further voice at any Republican gatherings. He is finished.

Amen. All the steroids went to his brain. He should've stuck with body building and action films. He's a complete phony who just wants to be in the spotlight.
I like a bit of post-election hyperbole as much as the next guy and have a lot of fun with the kind of verbal excesses that blogging seems to inpsire in me.
But as the dust settles from the election and we begin to look at our future, I think we need to be careful about whom we're ready to discard.
Newt's genius in 1994 was to create the Contract with America. If you were a Republican and signed on to it, you were part of the team.
Before we throw anyone overboard, I think we need to go back to something like the approach Newt used so effectively and see who's able to sign on.
I like the idea of a new contract, something that defines clearly what a Conservative Republican stands for. Then people either get on board or.....we throw them overboard.
I say make 'em walk the plank. Arrrrggggghhhhhh!
btw, Mark Levin is coming out with a book to address just what Dave has mentioned. He'll pull together ideas from a variety of sources, including Edmund Burke. I don't expect to see anything concerning "aisles" in the book, though.
You don't throw anyone overboard. The create a new contract and let those who don't like it self-select out.
