My experience has been that these folks are among the nastiest and most predictable here on FR. When the general election period rolls around every 2 years, God forbid you post something to an FR thread about planning to vote for a 3rd party candidate, in lieu of "wasting your vote" on a RINO and showing implicit support.
The inevitable "screw you, you're effectively voting for the Dem if you do that" responses immediately come rolling in, and they quickly get downright nasty if you have the gall to point out that they are incorrect. A vote for I is NOT a vote for D, nor for R. It's a vote for I. Just that simple. But, logic really pisses off the RINOs.
I've been involved in other nasty exchanges here over the years, particularly on threads about abortion and evolution, but the "if you don't vote for the RINO you're effectively voting for the Dem" nastiness jumps to mind first because it's so periodic and predictable.

Can you have missed the whole point?
The route to success is to challenge the RINO at the primary level where you have a fighting chance of victory, rather than going sellout party in the general where you will always be doing a Perot, and handing a victory to the Marxist.
