>>>A lot of these "RINO" House members -- like mine -- were RINOs because that's the only type of Republican who could win in these districts.

Agreed. People suffer from bias. They think that their world view is everyone’s world view. They think they should be able to elect the same type of republican in Jersey that I elect here in Southeast Texas. It ain’t happening. This is where the democrats are smarter than the GOP-they don’t eat their own.

The American people deserve the government they get and they overwhelming want free crap with a generous portion of "compound interest" (That does not exist with taxes/withholdings) associated with some of that crap. You can only kick the can so far, the road ends eventually.

Democrats prey on this obviously, while "moderates" play the high and mighty narcissistic role preventing anything of lasting substance that fixes bad legislation/policies and curtails various "Iron Triangles"/agencies. It's a no win situation because the "stink" is still there, while being held hostage by a Rep that is enamored with themselves because they think it's not getting worse under their service. Guess what, the "stink" grows regardless.
