we know those enemies, Pelosi, Reid and whatnot...the Rino’s are like wolves in sheep clothing. harder to detect but just as dangerous. Im not going to vote for a candidate simply based on the fact he/she has an R next to his name. Castle needs to go along with the rest of them, and if the state can get rid of him tonight, then by all means do it.
To take your point of view and reverse it somewhat, you’d rather compromise and take a RINO just to keep a Dem out of office. Thats whats wrong with the republicans today.

If it means keeping Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid from running their respective houses and setting the legislative agenda your d*mn right I would. A lot of people on this site in 2006 said let the Democrats win and then the people will see how bad it can be and run to our side in 2008. In 2008 those same people said I won’t vote for a “Rino” even if he can win. I would rather have O’Bama/Pelosi/Reid running the country than a bunch of “Rinos”. That will teach the people a lesson. In 2010 the people will be begging for conservative leadership. Well you got your wish and now look where we are. Now in 2010 you are saying I won’t vote for a “Rino” even it means 2 more years of Pelosi and Reid.
I play fantasy football I do not play fantasy politics. Power is about numbers. Do you think Health care would have been passed in the House if the Republicans had held the majority? I doubt it. We would all like to live in a perfect world where only conservatives got elected, the federal government was tiny, taxes were low and there were no terrorists, but some of us have to live in reality so the rest of you can have your wonderlands. I always vote for the most conservative candidate in the primary, but when it comes to the general if it comes down between a Democrat and a moderate Republican I will always vote for the Republican and try again in the next primary to get a better candidate. That’s reality.
