Well, you are welcome to think that.

How condescending of you.

FACT
...anyone that thinks putting more RINOS in office rather than standing up on your hind legs and saying “NO”, has to deal with the fact that they are perpetuating the problem.

Mischaracterizing what I said will not help your argument. Let me try to make it clearer for you.

The only ammunition we have in a political contest, apart from our ability to inform and persuade prior to the election, is our single vote.

Here are your choices:
1) Sit on your hands and let the bad guys take the field;
2) Vote for the lesser evil if that is your only chance of avoiding a victory by the bad guys.

Is it not clear the second choice is the only way to avoid a 100% chance of defeat?

The RINOS we put in there are moving further leftward.

Agreed, at least with the leadership. And certainly with regard to the nonresponse by the Republicans to O's wholesale disregard of his sworn duty to enforces the laws. It is possible to conclude, with what has become apparent with regard to NSA revelations, etc., that they have been compromised to an extent unheard of in our history. If so, of course, it indicates that we are very near a crisis.

Logic dictates that adding to their number accelerates the downfall of this country.

Logic more clearly dictates that when faced with only two choices (at this point in time), the choice that offers the bad guys something less than a 100% chance of victory is the more prudent.

Sitting here in the middle of an oncoming storm and have two alligators cornered in the pool...so you can have the last word.

There's a third choice: work to stop the motor of the world. The bad guys already have the field: they're called Republicans and Democrats. Thanks to both of these groups, we have an ever-growing federal debt of over $17 Trillion, and the elected leaders are now open about which laws they choose to uphold, and those they will simply ignore.

Boehner must be held accountable for his 180 turn on the debt ceiling. In six months, he's gone from talking about a "whale of a fight" to complete capitulation.

America cannot be saved until Washington DC has crashed and burned.

Facts are not condescension. If you willingly continue vote to elect the people that are causing this fiasco, Please, spare me the false indignity.

Riddle me this Batman, If you K N O W I N G L Y vote in a RINO / Let me repeat it so you can read it clearly/ K N O W I N G L Y vote in a RINO and I don’t, exactly who is to blame when that RINO siding with the dems? That’d be you. Not me. Not those of us who stand on principle. YOU and those who follow your proven disaster of a method. Because simple math shows that if you do not give the dems another ally, he’d not be in office to assist them from the...ahem...”Right” from doing what they do anyway.

If you refuse and vote for a conservative, regardless of the odds, they don’t get an automatic partner. And if we ALL ignore your proven disaster of a political idea, follow mine and the rest of us who have woken up to reality then we win.

You lesser evil types were warned. We will not join you. Side with us and win or side with lesser evil without us and lose.

Your choice. Choose wisely.

Simple.

Problem is, that's what we've been doing. Look where it's brought us.

My ancestors didn't fight on April 19th 1775, and the first battle of Saratoga, so we could have another King. Electing RINOs in the face of an aggressive socialist in the White House, is leading right to that. Although maybe "Chairman" or "Premier, rather "King" might be a more appropriate title, or maybe "First Citizen".
