A republican loses in primary - He wasn't conservative enough
While Lieberman's loss is in the news, not hardly a mention of the defeat of republican congressman Joe Schwarz from Michigan. It seems he wasn't conservative enough and he was pro-choice. So he lost to a former preacher and current radical christian yeehaw. I wonder if gingrich would describe those that voted against the incumbent as insurgents.

Should democrats encourage the incumbent to run as an independent? After all he had the support of by-gawd bush himself and john mccain. The general election should be a doozy. A man who speaks in tongues and hates in the name of Jesus Christ vs the democrat, Sharon Renier, an organic farmer. Go Sharon Go!!

1. Translation: He wasn't crazy enough
If you don't think like Ann Coulter, the Republicans hate you.

2. Well, I think the pundits should be talking about this 'split' in the GOP
and that it's the work of 'extremists' and the wacko right taking over the GOP.
