[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Conservatives need to take a play from the liberals. Get a RINO who is generally not that useful anyway, tag him a Democrat and then praise him to death as your favorite Democrat. It is a weaken the opposition tactic that the leftist media plays all the time.

Get a RINO who is generally not that useful anyway, tag him a Democrat and then praise him to death as your favorite Democrat.

The Dem base runs the party, where the pragmatists/establishment ones want to run ours. If the Dems wanted to WIN, they'd get a guy like Evan Bayh the nomination (he quit at the right time, and is from a mostly sane state). But even if that knowledge were infused in every Dem delegate, they couldn't resist going for someone who thinks their way.
