The thought is simple, why protect a Republican running for office if their voting record will differ little from the Democrats.

If the only two viable choices are someone who will punch me in the nose 24/7 and someone who will only do so eight hours a day, I'll take that small break for now and work for something better in the future.

Dang good point.

Those who wonder how Democrats could possibly be worse are likely to find out.

The fallacy here is that there aren't just two choices. And why not work for something better now, which is exactly what this article is about. Replacing RINOs in the primary in mostly republican districts now is better than holding your nose in the general election later.

And while the RINO is only punching you in the nose 8 hours a day, he isn't helping the other 16. Most likely he's busy stabbing you in the back and blaming it on the Dems.

If it were only a punch and only 8 hours a day, I might agree, but it's not. It's more like a sucker punch and a kick to the groin and a knife in the back 12 to 16 hours a day.

And when these 'republicans' vote for the leftist crap, it perpetuates the notion that conservatives are exremists because the 'moderate republicans' get it. It gives the left political cover for their anti freedom policies.

Worse than just a little mistreatment that you think that we can endure for a while, we are slowly committing suicide by electing them. And worse yet is the fact that we are funding the advance of the leftist agenda with our money.

Awful choices abound. But I think that bears repeating.

Thanks.
