“He seems to believe that supporting a RINO will get us a more conservative congress magically somehow.”
Yeah, never wrote or implied that either, but you just go on MIS-interpreting my posts for me. What’s the point anyway? No matter what I write, you guys are on a witch hunt. Burn the witch! What a joke.

Oh no, you just insist on voting for the lesser evil, compromising your supposed beliefs, and pretending to be principled.
“And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for the second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering.”

We have a political class that has become unprincipled, and they have created a political process that is not of the people, by the people, or for the people.

No, get the principles right, quit compromising them, and then fixing the process will be easy.
