What are you talking about?

Our own DeWine RINO had opponents in the primary, and I voted for one of them. DeWine just won big time.

It's not the GOP that is the problem. It's the voters.

Ultimately, if you blame a political party, you are denying your own culpability in it, and your responsibility to make things better.

People fail to realize that RINOS "vote."

I'm talking about exactly that. Are you telling me DeWine didn't have an advantage over his challengers due to the party infrastructure?

You proved the point. Can you point to a single case where "the party" supported a challenger to their existing incumbent? (I'm not puting the burden of proof on you, it's just that I can't think of any case where "the party" was motivated to do anything other than milquetoastify a candidate the longer he stays on.)

I am NOT denying my cuplability, even in Ohio's election, which I can't vote in. Because in the past, I have donated to the GOP, which has funded people like DeWine and Specter.

That makes me guilty of supporting the machinery that is doing some things I don't want. It is also doing some things I do want (such as "nothing.") I perfer a party to do less, rather than more!

So I dunno what the answer is.

At the same time, the GOP threw DeLay under a bus, and would support McPain as their standard bearer if they thought he was moderate enough. So again, damnedifIno.
