"We" the RINOs because they would find themselves again in the minority in a party they thought was their own. The RINOS(used to be Rockefeller Republicans) are much more comfortable as a minority party in Congress that gets the Presidency from time to time and can pick off pork along with the Democrats. They like to represent a genteel "opposition" as token guests at Democrat cocktail parties. They are terribly uncomfortable as members of a majority party that is expected to accomplish things, especially conservative things.
WOW,, arthurus, you’ve really hit the nail on the head, describing the elected DC republicans. We have a couple who may be run of the mill, hard working, investing, volunteering Republicans, but I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts not many of today’s elected Republicans can stand up to the rest of us. My belief is, the elected republicans in dc are far more interested in being relected and “LUV ED” by the democrats than they do about the interests of the people who’ve put them in dc. I understand there is something in the Potomac water that does something to conservatives in that area...they all become democrat lite.
