Our CO RINO's talk the conservative line, but when it comes time to support a candidate they insist on having candidates who will appeal to moderates in order to win.
Then, the moderate candidates lose and these so-called conservatives shrug it off and go on to the next election, smug in their realization that their social issues are satisfied by the Democrat who won. To them, it's a win-win outcome.
I'll vote for Newt in the primary before I'll vote for mcCain.
