Anyone from NY who remembers Pataki should understand your point: nobody passes a Leftist agenda faster than a RINO. Just having an (R) after the Executive’s name will gain automatic support of at least 10% of Republicans, regardless of what the bill in question is - often enough to pass pretty much anything the Democrats want.
I wouldn’t go so far as voting for the Obama instead of Romney, but would go 3rd party just to make the point.
Yes, there are awful things which would come of it. Point is, it’s a matter of the lesser of two evils, and methinks the greater evil is whoever can get more an evil agenda passed. RINOs seek and obtain cooperation and bill passage, when gridlock is preferable.
Oh, sure. THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY! < /KODOS>
Pataki in NY, Arnie in California, RINO’s do MORE damage to what conservatives stand for.
I voted 3rd party last election.
It’s not like McPain had a chance here in California.
