There are only 3 Republicans who have integrity and are NOT....

[PROGRESSIVE1]

Shills for the Reich Wing:

Jim Leach (Iowa)
Amo Houghton (New York)
Ron Paul (Texas)

I would never call them "shills"!

All other Repubs are "shills" for the Right!

[KamaAina]

1. Ron Paul is really a Libertarian

he just didn't think he could get elected on a third-party ticket, so he ran as a repuke.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

8. Yes but we agree with him on Consitutional Issues, the Illegal War...

and fiscal disipline.

[KuroKensaki]

25. Libertarianism..

That's pretty much the definition of libertarianism. We agree with them half the time, when it comes to issues of personal freedom.

[elperromagico]

2. What about Lincoln Chafee? (eom)

[PROGRESSIVE1]

7. Sometimes he is and sometimes he isn't!

His standards are not high enough.

[elperromagico]

9. But he is one of the better Republicans.

Sometimes we have to take what we can get from the opposition party.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

11. Yes he is. He a "lesser shill" than the rest but still a right wing shill

[kiahzero]

27. Hardly

Every vote the Republicans get from Chafee, they work for.

[QC]

28. He is helping keep Frist in charge of the Senate.

So he is as much a part of the problem as Trent Lott or Rick Santorum or any of the others we love to hate.

I've never understood why so many people here slobber all over Chaffee, Snowe, and Collins. As long as they caucus with the Republicans and vote for the brownshirts in the leadership, they are part of the problem.

[MSgt213]

3. What about John McCain?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

5. When push comes to shove, McCain shills for Bush.

I have no respect for him.

[elperromagico]

14. Agree with you.

After what Bush did to him in South Carolina, the fact that he still (however grudgingly) supports Bush makes him seem like Bush's lapdog.

[GreenArrow]

24. it isn't even necessary to wait

until push comes to shove. This cat is a shill from start to finish.

[flowomo]

4. Have to add....

Jim Greenwood of PA

[TheBlob]

6. "There are only 3 Democrats who have integrity and are NOT...."

Shills for the Left Wing:

Joe Lieberman
Joe Biden
Ed Koch

The GOP can (and does) play this game too.

[elperromagico]

10. You left out Zell!

He's not a shill for the Left Wing. Hell, he's a shill for the Right Wing!

[TheBlob]

13. Damn, you're right

How could I have left out Zell!

[indepat]

21. But what about the integrity issue?

[elperromagico]

23. I don't believe he has integrity.

He's a sell-out.

[KissMyAsscroft]

12. Ad Zell to that list...

There are way more DINo's than RINO's..

[orwell]

15. CH

Chuck Hagel...even though he entered office under suspicious circumstances.

O

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

16. What's Hagel's 'draft notice' all about?

Think he's being chivalrous or just ironic?

[orwell]

18. Honest

I think he's being honest, unlike the rest of the Bush chickenhwks.

O

[RedEagle]

30. Oh, Hagel Belongs in the Coup Too

Friends with Bush I.

Think Bush I encouraged him to go to Nebraska and run for office. Wonder if he suggested he get into the voting machine business too?

Hagel is in the "Good cop/bad cop" game, as the "good cop."

He's the backup next time around, especially if a Jeb candidate isn't too appealing yet.

Hagel is just another playing piece in the Bush gameplan.

[boxster]

19. I find myself respecting him more and more...

which is scary because his politics are quite the opposite of mine.

I give him credit for being honest, regardless of the consequences or repercussions.

[Zynx]

20. Under the right circumstances, I could vote for Hagel.

[Viking12]

29. Absolutely not!!

Until James Inhofe took the mantle, Hagel was the biggest lying piece of crap, fossil fuel whore in the flat earth society of climate change deniers.

[JohnKleeb]

17. Houghton is retiring

both Leach and Houghton voted against IWR and Paul too. Another one who would be on this list would be Connie Morella but Connie's seat is now democratic.

[Athletic Grrl]

22. Connie wasn't too bad.

Neither is Olympia Snowe.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

26. She said she voted for Gore in 2000. I didn't list her because...

she is no longer in congress.
