Too many people around these parts unwittingly help the Democrats every four years.  I changed my tagline about a month ago.  It says, "McCain 5 yrs Left/1 year right "BAD!" - Republicans 3 yrs Right 1 year Left to elect RINOs. "Good?"  The point is, we hate John McCain and what he does within the Republican party to defeat the Conservative cause.  None the less, many of us pull a routine quite similar to the one he does, by turning Left just before the General Elections to vote in RINOs.

Hey folks, if it's rotten of John McCain to feign being Conservative for one year out of six to get re-elected, isn't it wrong for us to actually turn into a Leftist to back RINOs every General Election?  Another way of putting it would be, "Isn't it wrong for us to act like Conservatives for three years, then vote in RINOs?"  Why are we not voting for people who have expressed the same desires we have, so they will implement the policies we say we support?  The only obvious answer is that some folks don't actually support, or long for the things they say they do.

It's rather sad to see what passes for reason in the season that leads up to the general election primaries and caucuses around here.

We watch it play out over and over again.  At some point folks have to take a look at the basic scenario, recognize the fact that they have seen it before, and stop perpetuating the persuit of failure.

Every time we jump on board the Good Ship Lollipop RINOflop, we deprive an honest to goodness Conservative the position.  How is that working out for us?

Carry_Okie comes here trying to talk some sense into people, and a swarm develops.  Why?

Some of the folks here are flat out lying to themselves.  We have candidates who betray Conservatism for four, eight, twenty-five years, and yet they are touted as solid Conservatives, some even saying they are just what Reagan was prior to becoming President.

I watch as folks whoop it up because a RINO is not leading the pack, and laugh at other candidates who aren't doing so well, that agree with us about 100% of the time.

If this is folks idea of how to achieve victory, then we'll never see victory.

It is not two weeks before the general election, us having to coalesce behind a candidate even if we don't like them best.  It's months before the primaries even begin, when we should be phoning the candidates who agree with us asking what we can do to help.

Instead it's all giggles and levity around here, because the most solid people are lagging in the polls, and the folks who will never support what we want them to, to the degree they must to lead us out of this mess, are championed with vigor.

Either we have some of the stupidest people I've ever seen around here, or we have sleepers here who are doing their best to make sure Conservatism never prevails.
