I've got two words that pretty much capture my position on this:

ARLEN SPECTER

See my last post on that one.

That guy was endorsed by every Republican who weighed in on it. It turned out he wasn't just a leftist Republican at all. He ended up switching parties after he had taken them all for a ride.

No more of that sh!t for this voter.

On election day, you play the hand you are dealt. To wish for or stamp your foot about another hand means you’re only going to lose.

“Are you saying the ‘Rinos’ could have stopped the implementation of the ‘law’ when they couldn’t stop the Dems from jamming it through in the first place?”

Yes the RINO’s in the House could have stop it BY NOT FUNDING IT.

It has to stop. There is no next time. We have to say no more. If people choose willingly to support liberal republicans, they are no different than any liberal supporter with a D.

The GOP can either turn right or go Whig. The choice is theirs.

Excellent, truthful rant supported by common sense and logic. Your commentary is so sensible that perhaps even here on FR, it may change a few opinions. Thank you!

Then do not complain about the amnesty/homosexualization/ebola fiasco, wars and the rest. Because you will get what you vote for.


I just cant see how it helps to allow the progressive democrats to take control unopposed. Its got to be slowed down. Stopped. And reversed. That can’t happen with Harry Reid in control.

Do you have any principle that is non-negotiable?

Vote for a conservative. Write one in. But if you elect the people funding Happy Harry, where is the benefit exactly?

You are right. There will be no next time. Zero will see to that.

Like I said above.. On election day you play the cards you are dealt.

What is going on? I haven’t read all the posts to this thread but the ideologues who believe we must destroy the country in order to save it seem to be missing.

Sure. He has a strong commitment to liberal repubs. I can’t see him or many here exercising their situational ethics and abandoning them for a conservative.

Straw argument. Unless you’re willing to say that all RINOs are going to turn out as Arlen Specter or Jim Jeffords or Charlie Crist, then you’re just blowing self righteous but fatuous smoke.

Try these five words on for size:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

You see, I CAN say those five words accurately in context. You can’t....

Try “Funded by House Majority Leader JonBon” Since the two are joined at the hip.

To: who knows what evil?

Would I vote for Scott Brown?
Nope. To me a carpetbagging politician is as bad or maybe worse than a career and/or GOPe Senator or Representation.

Write one in.


Three weeks from the election and you’re suggesting I throw my vote away? No.

I’ve used my votes to make a statement before. No one heard the statement.

Engage the enemy on this battlefield.

Work for the conservative on another battlefield.

A republican senate is this November’s battlefield.

The battle for a conservative senate starts the next day.
