the problem with RINOs is that, by signing on to porkulus, they provide political cover to the ideas of the Democrats.

We would be better off with a small minority of conservative Republicans that lose every vote unanimously than by a larger minority that includes moderates.

Well, the point to the post (satire, parody, whatever) is that we would be even MORE better off if we had a majority (or even large minority) of Republicans who were ALL reliably conservative. But by taking their ball and going home and not helping to actually make this a reality, many so-called "conservatives" actually end helping to sell us down the river to the Democrats forever.

If these "conservatives" really cared about conservatism, then they'd help to nominate and elect conservative candidates within the ONLY party that can even remotely serve as a vehicle for effectively seeing conservatives get elected, which is the Republican Party. With this post, I'm trying to point out the irony of the "they're all a bunch of RINO" people - which is that by their own actions, they're helping to KEEP RINOs in the Party and in office.
