Conservatives should withhold votes from rinos. It’s the only way to defeat the gope.

I guess the definition of RINO has changed in recent years. Back in the day we referred to them as “Rockefeller Republicans” -—most were from the East Coast and had fairly liberal voting records, Senators like....

Lowell Weicker
Jim Jeffords
Arlen Spector
Lincoln Chaffee
John Chaffee
Jacob Javits
Olympia Snowe
Charles Mathias

ETC....

Sen. Pat Roberts has a lifetime ACU rating of 86.40% making him among the most conservative members of the US Senate.

Have things changed so much in recent years?

No one is perfect, of course. But to throw away a US Senate seat like this is nothing short of sheer insanity IMHO.

That’s not going to help, we need to primary them until they do as they did in Mississippi.

Only when they cheat should we run 3rd party. Never abstain from voting, that just tells them low turn out.
