I see where you’re coming from but I can’t agree with that logic. An old preacher friend of mine once said (and I’m sure he wasn’t the first), “I’d rather be that person who is a 1000 miles away from God and taking that first step towards Him then to be the person 2 inches from Him and taking the first step away from Him.” Apply that to politics.
Everything is contantly moving in one direction or the other. To vote for someone with whom you are agree with 10% over someone with whom you disagree with 100% is stilling moving in the right direction.
I believe the only real long term solution to this country’s problem is to eliminate the 2 party system. You can keep voting for RINOs who may bring some very temporary improvements, but just like the debt problem, it’s only kicking it down the road without providing a real solution.
If the GOP nominates a RINO like Romney, then to me, the best thing for this country is for the GOP to die.
