Dang it, I forgot Michael Steele. But, Olympia Snowe? In what alternate reality is she right of center? In the one that says Republicans are all conservative?

Hey, John... how does one get added to the List O' Bloggers?

There's simply no way Sullivan and Johnson can be categorized as "on the right" any longer. They are/were single-issue conservatives whose overall ideological balance places them well into the left. It's more realistic to call Joe Lieberman a member of "the right" (clearly he's not) than those two clowns.

Interesting observations:

Sarah Palin didn't get a single vote even though she's supposedly an idiot hick that resigned in disgrace amid scandal, can't control her family, is getting divorced, lost the 2008 election, and is a racist serial liar for opposing Obamacare. The conservative base is behind her.

Cornyn's antics at the NRSC don't seem to be getting much attention.

Most of the big talk show hosts got a sprinking of votes except Rush. Has he upped his game or is he just under the radar while the left tried to destroy Beck and the others?

the only people who hate (fear) Palin are on the left, and the occassional RINO Lites. Conservatives support her.

McCain, Snowe, Collins and Graham probably hold the balance of power in the Senate on health care, energy, immigration and taxes. Is this really the time to unnecessarily insult them and assure that they will not listen to your point of view?

But then, a group that dislikes Noonan, Parker, Buchanan, Frum and Brooks for questioning conservative orthodoxy probably is not open to rational thinking anyway.

I'm tickled that John McCain (and his Princess Lindsey Grahamnesty), Patrick Buchanan and Ron Paul made the list. I despise them.

I post on RWN because its easy and fun to fluster political ideologues who are more obsessed with attacking the opposition than they are in boosting their own positive aspects.

Before you compose a reply to this well-known troll, consider what his personal mission here is, as stated in his own words above. As inferred from his own statement, he'll say anything to piss you off. Nothing is too outlandish, nothing is off-limits. He'll insult anything he thinks you hold dear, just to watch you fume and boil. He's here just to piss you off. And he thinks that pissing you off is great fun. Before you post anything in reply to this troll ask yourself a few questions:

Do I want hoggo setting the tone and topics of my discussions here?

Do I want hoggo exploiting my anger at him for his own perverse pleasure?

Do I want to feed more material to this persistent lying troll?

Do I care what hoggo thinks, says or does?

If the answer to any of those questions is "no", and very likely they will all be "no's", then you know what you should do - just walk away and say "No response to hoggo from me today."

Too bad the bloggers aren't linked to their votes so we can see who dis-favors who. I am interested in knowing what "right wing" bloggers have issues with Ann Coulter and Glen Beck, and why they have those issues.

This whole exercise seems counter-productive. I agree with Reagan that we should not speak ill of other conservatives. That doesn't mean you have to agree with them, but why provide ammunition to the Democrats and show the undecided folks that conservatives are in chaos?
