Sadly, Sen. John “Amnesty” McCain will be roaming the Senate for 6 more years.  J.D. Hayworth was done in by two things: a $21 million war chest and an open primary with many Democrats running over to vote for McCain, ala Operation Chaos.  Thank you to J.D. for putting up a good fight til the end.

Now, the most interesting battle that we have been tracking is the Alaska dog fight between RINO #6, Lisa Murkowski, possibly losing to the Sarah Palin endorsed, Tea Party favorite Joe Miller.  Mr. Miller is enjoying a 1,668 vote lead as of this morning, with plenty of absentee ballots yet to be counted.  We are watching and will announce if our RINO is down for the count!

Also, thanks to everyone that participated in our LIVE Chat.  We received great feedback on how to make that better, and we plan to have an updated chat set up for the Sept. Primary!

You can download the pdf of the bill here or here. Last week, Senators McCain and Coburn, both up for re-election in November, released findings  that the Stimulus is filled with failed economic plans and extreme waste (pdf).  Next week, RINOList.org will take a closer look at the Stimulus and list some of the wonderful projects that these RINOs from Maine thought the American People should pay for.

* Note: Soon after the vote, Specter switched back to the Democrat Party.  This past year, he lost his primary battle, and will not be returning to Washington as a Senator in 2011.

Tomorrow, we will list the Republicans that voted for Obama’s Stimulus that has turned out to be nothing more than a slush fund for the Democrat Party.

Then, next week, RINOList.org will take a look at the forecast for TARP at the time of the vote and then at the current circumstance two years after.  Stay Tuned Rinohunters!

update: Rep. Paul Ryan was missing from the list.  Thanks to Oynx, an observant Freeper, for the correction.

Our Republican platform seems to have changed.  I would like to ask Michael Steele if our new platform includes the support of terminally unqualified candidates for life time positions.  we should also ask him if he has any intentions of supporting the candidacy of any of these 5 Republicans who supported the most unqualified candidate for the Supreme Court in our lifetime.  What does the RNC have to say for itself?  Remember not to bother them too late in the evening, they have to have some time to let their hair down and enjoy themselves at the local S&M club.

Elena Kagan is so terminally inexperienced with the American court system as to be unqualified to serve on the Supreme Court.

From the scraps of her record, she is expected to be quite liberal and activistic. So far, she has succeeded in promoting bipartisanship, the Progressive kind.  Notice that the 5 Republican Senators that are nodding they will approve of her are in the Top Ten List of RINOs.  That is not an accident.  RINOs ARE PROGRESSIVES!  Kagan’s effect will be disastrous for our Constitutional Republic.  From the scraps of her record we have, she is expected to be quite liberal and activistic.  Besides the laughtastic censure of Lindsey Graham, what do you think will be the Kagan Effect?

For those of you who think that we could take ANY politician’s life time appearances in front of the camera and get this sort of distortion, I invite you to try.  Sen. McCain is legendary for this sort of political ineptitude in front of the Mainstream Media (now Regime Media).  McCain’s Moderate RINO Republicanism did not win the 2008 Election.  McCain’s Gang of 14 did not help to solve on going problems in the Senate’s rules for the confirmation of judges.  McCain’s amnesty for Illegals is even more clownish today than it was then.  In 32 days, Arizonans will get the chance to finally give Sen. John “Maverick” McCain the retirement he deserves.  Please help send a better politican to Washington.  One that has been endorsed by the  Tea Parties and many others.  We at RINOList proudly endorse J. D. Hayworth for Senate against John “RINO” McCain.   JD. GOOD LUCK ON THE 24TH!

UPDATE!!!   Here is a piece from the Carpetbagger Report that a source sent me. This is from the 2007 campaign, however it was never really put in the spotlight.  It seems that McCain thought that it was a good idea to switch parties, but got beat to the punch.  Guess he wanted to walk in the footsteps of his good friend Arlen Specter.  Any thoughts?

Note: I can’t take credit for the biting sarcasm that is “Sen. Lindable Grahible” from muppitized Michael Steele.  Check out the video from Monday’s post at about minute 4.
