Yep. The 'vote for the lesser of two evils' crowd. I despise them.

Yep! - That does appear to be the motivation fot BatLady’s spouse’s appearance here.

There are quite a few who have been here a long time but only post to promote RINOism around elections.
***Yup. That’s why I proposed the voluntary idealogical matrix. From my home page...

I would like to see a VOLUNTARY idealogy litmus matrix here on Free Republic, but when I proposed it to Jimrob, he called me a newbie.

To: babygene I dont think hes all that interested.
To: MHGinTN It doesnt matter what a FReeper thinks. Its just a list that they tell us what they think. That way we can tell who were dealing with.

To: Jim Robinson Hah hah, thats great. I signed up 2 months after you and Im a newbie. Back then no one even said, Welcome to FR. But yeah, I do think that there are tons of RINOs. To be more accurate, the term would be CINOs.
Ive been pushing for an idealogical litmus matrix here on FR, not to get rid of RINOs but to expose them.
THE GOP DOESNT WANT US- SO WHATS NEXT?

***It simply takes too long. Look at this thread alone. I see evidence of RINOism in some of the FReepers on this thread. It takes 700 posts to drill down. We need the matrix posted and available so that we dont have to drill down on every FReeping thread. Theyre wasting our time. Deliberately.
Agreed to a large degree. Perhaps a way to rate members by other members???

My experience has been that these folks are among the nastiest and most predictable here on FR. When the general election period rolls around every 2 years, God forbid you post something to an FR thread about planning to vote for a 3rd party candidate, in lieu of "wasting your vote" on a RINO and showing implicit support.
The inevitable "screw you, you're effectively voting for the Dem if you do that" responses immediately come rolling in, and they quickly get downright nasty if you have the gall to point out that they are incorrect. A vote for I is NOT a vote for D, nor for R. It's a vote for I. Just that simple. But, logic really pisses off the RINOs.
I've been involved in other nasty exchanges here over the years, particularly on threads about abortion and evolution, but the "if you don't vote for the RINO you're effectively voting for the Dem" nastiness jumps to mind first because it's so periodic and predictable.
