Yeah, just how eeeeeeeeeeevil unapologetic pro-life, pro-family, anti-tax conservativse like Rick Santorum and Peter Fitzgerald were "unelectable" in their "moderate" states. ::rolls eyes::
Ever notice the RATs never play this game of infesting their party with turncoats?
Try to picture some RAT telling his fellow party members: "Bush won North Dakota by over 60% of the vote here!! A purist liberal will NEVER win here! Kent Conrad is UNELECTABLE. Byron Dorgan is UNELECTABLE. We HAVE to run a Bush-loving, pro-gun, anti-abortion Democrat or we're dooooooooomed!!"
Bingo. You absolutely nailed it there. The more I see it, the more I come to the conclusion that many RINOs are simply Democrats who've been paid off to disrupt and inflict MAXIMUM damage within the Republican party. The funny thing is, they don't even have to change their ideology to do it... we just open the door and let the enemies right through the gate. The Democrats, for all their evil and ignorance, aren't so stupid that they'd EVER allow those types of shenanigans to F up their own party, they'd quickly show those types the door.
