Primary’ing an old RINO is always going to be a risk. Whoever you run against him is bound to be relatively inexperienced as a candidate, and is going to make mistakes, maybe put his foot in his mouth from time to time. And, running against the Dem, be at a disadvantage.
You have to make up your mind that punishing the RINO is worth the risk that you may be giving the seat to the Dem. I figure its worth it, if the old RINO winds up giving the Dems what they want anyway, but with a GOP seal of approval. (I get tired of Dems defending their policies by saying, hey, the Repubs voted for it too... and they did...)
But thats the risk. You have to be prepared to back the conservative even when the press goes into overdrive mocking them, and the trolls turn up on FR to do the same.
You make good points.
Real Conservatives are tired of wasting their time on GOP liberals. Wasting a vote on a GOP Liberal just means you are voting liberal.
The GOP will always run limp of center candidates as long as PhonyCons keep suckling GOP teat.
A third party conservative candidate is always better than a GOP Liberal
“But thats the risk. You have to be prepared to back the conservative even when the press goes into overdrive mocking them, and the trolls turn up on FR to do the same.”
You are quite right! But when you go after an old RINO, do it with a completely vetted, rational candidate. No more Mourdoch’s, Akin’s, Angle’s or O’Donnell’s! The operation is to GET RID of a RINO and replace him/her with a crdible Conservative, not hand the seat over to a RAT!
