Why do Republicans in any state put up candidates for office, Senator or House, who are not ideologically conservative? What use is it to have RINOs in Congress. We are just fooling ourselves. We don't have and NEVER have had real control of the Senate, because at least seven of those Senators who call themselves Republicans have no ideological conviction behind their thinking or voting. Their only aim is to get re-elected and to "get along" with their fellow Demorats.
The ONLY solution is to only have candidates who are real Republicans, not imitation Demorats.What happened tonight was not a compromise, it was a sellout. Plain and simple.
And the Demorats are walking around like the cat who ate the canary.
Because less than 50% of the country is ideologically conservative and there is no point in allowing the Democrats to be the permanent majority party.
The primaries are the time to vote for the most ideal. If that candidate loses to a more "moderate" (I HATE that word) candidate, then come the general election, I vote for the Republican and never the democrat, because, like Ronald Reagan said, "I'd rather have somebody voting with me 60%-70%, 80% of the time, than not all at."
We have to apply Reagan's thinking to states like Maine and Rhode Island, which is why I said that I thought only Graham of SC, Warner of VA and DeWine of OH can be spanked.
