and once again, if the Republican candidate doesn’t full fill my fondest wish, I’ll stay home and let the democrats elect another Obama....how’s that working out for you???? I don’t care who the pubbies run, he/she would be a better choice than the best that the demo’s have to offer....by far
As much as it pained me, I voted for McCain in ‘08 and Romney in 2012.
Except...how's that working out for you?
What’s the track record of candidates we’ve had to hold our noses to vote for, so as not to be overpowered by the stench of Rinocrat?
1992...HW pi$$ed away an 80% Desert Storm approval rating, lost to Bubba..."Read my lips..."
1996...Bob Dole, famously tagged as the tax collector for the welfare state...co-sponsor of how many Kennedy-Dole bills?
2008...John McCain...first to go nuclear on fellow Repubs, but famously said we need not fear a Barack “no middle name” Obama presidency.
2012...Mitt Romney...again went nuclear on fellow Repubs, went limp on Obama..."I was for Obamacare before I was against it."
Those who say we need to hold our noses and vote for the Rinocrat need to show when that’s been a successful strategy.
I suspect the long gray line of RINO candidates is part of the GOPe’s strategy to destroy its former conservative base. As in:
You threaten to stay home if we run a moderate. We’ll keep running moderates until conservatives die off.
I can’t honestly see how the GOPe cares if a far left maniac is in charge, as long as they keep their jobs and perks, and get invited to the parties and Sunday shows.
