Welcome to the darkside.
You will find a growing number of us evil purists populating the clubhouse. We welcome you to sanity. Just be forewarned that you will henceforth be attacked by many of your former BFFs online because you just committed a blasphemy to their quest for a more leftward GOP.
I hope more join you here.

LOL I have no “former BFFs” here and, believe me, I’ve been HIGHLY critical of RINOs and the GOP Establishment since I first joined FR. Until last night though, I argued that our primary mission should be to win back the Senate this November, even if that meant supporting less than desirable GOP nominees. My reasoning was that we can always apply pressure on these RINOs to advance conservative legislation.
Now I’m not so sure. Last night proved the Republican Establishment is SO addicted to their own power and SO dependent on money flow from crooked lobbyists and unscrupulous ultra-wealthy donors that I no longer believe this country can be saved with them in charge of Congress or the White House. If we’re going to rebuild this country, then we might as well do it the right way by fighting to get decent people with Constitutional conservative values into elected office. And since the Establishment is so hellbent on eliminating the Tea Party from Washington altogether (I wish they’d just once go after the Dems with even 1/10th this amount of energy!), we might as well make it a priority to politically eliminate them first.
Well said. The GOP-E monster will not be defeated by simply defeating their candidates. It will be defeated by electing conservatives. There is a difference and it is high time some people here learned it.
Hear-hear!!
