"As a Conservative, I would rather back a Conservative Republican Candidate and see him lose the Presidential Election on principle"
I have a great deal of respect for you.
But please consider the consequences: UNCHECKED Marxist Dem power: Dem President, larger Dem Control of both Houses of Congress AND activist judges nominated and confirmed by Dems, handing ALL THREE BRANCHES of the US government over to the treasonous, socialist Dems.
Conservatives need to focus on the big picture. You can see all the damage the Dems are already doing to the country, by weakening us against the terrorists -- just imagine the damage they will do with a Dem president for 8 years and teh judges who will be there for the next 40-50 years.
And if we elect RINOs, what will be our plan in future? As far as I can tell, the long-term effect of electing RINOs is to ensure that the Republicans of the future will be more leftist than the Democrats of today. And if we can't survive today's Democrats, we certainly won't be able to survive tomorrow's RINOs.
And if we aren't careful, Republicans just might go to the polls and vote one of them into office.
The amount of fight, or should I say the lack thereof, in you is sickening, you are nothing more then a win at any cost and damn the consequences... and screw anyone who disagrees with your "Fair Opinion".
Enjot the ride to the bottom, TWirP, covertly pushing a Progressive socialist agenda, and claiming to give a rat's arse about conservatism. Even aRnie can't hide his Progressive stripes, so why should anyone buy your canned spam?
Do you realize that is precisely the GOP's game? Just throw up the fear of the dems, and they can get away with whatever they want. More entitlements? But the Dems are worse! More earmarks? But the Dems are worse! More federal involvement in education? But the dems are worse!(Meanwhile, by they way, the DNC does the same thing to the leftist base). It is one big scam that the two parties play on us.
I refuse to play from now on. I am willing to take a chance that 4 years of the liberals running things, followed by a real Republican in power, is better than 20 years of the current game.
How would that be different with a RINO president?
>>please consider the consequences:<<
You should have told that to Bush!
I like your tone and your efforts to persuade, rather than insult people. But we need to come together behind someone who represents our party platform. Rudy opposes most of our traditional GOP platform that we've supported for the last thirty years.
On those same issues, they've been given to you ad infinitum, Rudy agrees with the Democrats. Not with us. He is a big city, liberal Republican. The people you disagree with here(and we are not your enemies) are not going to vote for the barely lesser of two evils this time.
I really hope Fred Thompson gets in. I want someone I can enthusiastically support.
To many the fear tactic of vote rino or you get a rat is not working anymore. The rinos are just that bad.
You're talking prevent defense here, which is a winner only when the team applying it is way ahead.
I'm sorry to comment without reading down thread, but you don't get it. RINOs have never and WILL never check the Marxist Dem power. They can do it as well or better in the minority if they have a mind to.
Maybe the GOP needs to focus on the big picture, instead of demanding that conservatives support RINO candidates?
