The people you talk about not coming out to support the primary winner because he isn't their pick or he's not "pure" enough are a perfect example of what a REAL RINO is.

They are only Republicans when it's their people that are getting the party support. The whole reason there are political parties in the first place are for the strenght in coalition. It's all about "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine".

That is neccessary if you want to ever advance your agenda. If you support other Republicans on their people and their issues, they in turn will support you on yours.

Not supporting your party will lead to total system breakdown and political dominance by your opponents. In the end we wind up being better off with a European-style multi-party system and fragile coalition governments.

I may not agree with everything you've said on this forum in the days you've been here, but THAT is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing BUT the truth.

The other day I finally figured out that the people calling us RINO's are the people threatening not to vote and about time we turned it around on them.

Vote in every election and resent being called a RINO or told I have blood on my hands as bad as any DemocRAT. I am not pro-choice but I hold the President's same views which is not pure enough for some folks on here!

Very perceptive.

Good point.

RINO's have a much poorer track record than the rest of us, and we're justified when we say we're through with them.

It's over...because THEY DON'T return the favors...and never have. Sometimes, it's scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. RINO's just screw the rest of the Republicans...it's history and you can look it up yourself.

And that'll probably be my last word on the subject.
