Your objection makes no sense. The choice of a RINO is essentially voting for and electing a democrat. Who gives a hoot whether or not he/she has an (R) behind his name?
Dubya has done more to expand big government and what is becoming a police state than Clinton ever dreamed of.
Excuse me sir, but we are at war.
Bush ran as a "compassionate conservative"...which to me was code for liberal. Bush was not my choice in the 2000 primary, I voted for Alan Keyes. Because I knew Bush's bona fides were suspect I should have voted for that gasbag Gore or the fake soldier Kerry in '04? Of couse not. I voted for Bush in the general election because I had no other alternative. To not vote for him was akin to voting for the gasbag/fake soldier.
There just aren't any solutions here. I'll tolerate the RINO over the democRAT. It doesn't make me happy to vote RINO but at least the RINO keeps my side in the majority. Wheter he votes with me or against me on a perticular issue is less of a concern when what concerns me is the types of legislation being considered.
I point to the recent flap about the minimum wage. The RINO may very well vote to raise it. But if it doesn't come up for a vote (a decision made by the leadership) then I have less to worry about.
Your point is valid insofar as if you had RINO's in the leadership. Then there are serious problems. Bill Frist is a glaring example. Denny Hastert exhibits this too, but to a lesser extent. When Newt Gingrich was running the show the RINO's didn't have much control of anything.
