The 'principled conservatives' who sat out the election last November are particlly responsible for the Democrats being in charge of both houses of Congress.

That worked out well, didn't it?

Really taught those RINOS a lesson, they did!

It sure did!

I wonder if they got their Thank You cards from the DNC yet?

More “it’s the conservatives’ fault” garbage.

Where I was, we had no problem getting conservatives out. Why? We ran conservatives. And guess what? We won, in spite of the RINO sniping we had to endure right up until election day.

That’s because there are some here who are more interested in purging the Republican Party of elements they dislike than in winning elections.

Here’s a comment from one Freeper’s profile (EEE):

“Hate RINOs, moderates, centrists, etc.”

There’s no comment about hating terrorists, communists, fascists, pedophiles, murderers, rapists, etc. No comment about opposing ‘rats or liberals.

No, it is the “RINO’s” who are hated.

This mentality dislikes 50% supporters more than 0% supporters. This mentality defeated Mike DeWine and elevated Sherrod Brown. Mike supported the War and conservative judges, but his lifetime 80% ACU Rating wasn’t good enough so 4% Sherrod Brown was elected. That enabled Reid and made the difference in the vote last week.

Frankly, I’m tired of the threats of non-support from the radicals. The threats to withhold support in the general election cut no ice with me. It’s impossible to reason with people who think the 1992 strategery of “teaching a lesson” is a good idea in 2008. The radicals are the ones who need to be taught a lesson — their numbers aren’t enough to dictate policy.

If that's what you claim, then why do you want to piss us off again? Simply make sure Fred Thompson gets the nomination and this will be a non-issue.
