Mr. Robinson, I am an American first, a conservative second and a Republican third.

I never thought about the order of those three things until Bush became President. I didn't have to. There used to be enough difference in Democrats and Republicans that the line drawn was clear and wide.

That line has changed over the years, with the Democratic party making such a strong left turn that now it should be called the socialist party with all their Progressive politican's agenda to destroy everything about America we know and have loved.

This is only my opinion but I have been thinking this for a long time.

The sad and shocking and heart breaking thing is the Republican party has been collecting the left as party members like there is no tomorrow. Where were the left, the Democrats to go that had gotten fed up with their Democrat party turning into socialists galore. They signed up as Republicans, and many have run on the Republican ticket. Some even being put in high positions in the GOP and RNC making it even harder to have the Republican party stay strongly Conservative and work for those running that were Conservative. Instead the GOP and RNC have backed these Rhino's to our dismay and to America's destruction.

Look at how many Rhino's hold office. It is disgusting, and yep they were voted in because there was no other choice. Too often we are told it is the lesser of two evils and how horrible not to vote. Sure it IS the lesser of two evils but in saying that it is also admitting that the person we are told to vote for IS evil. And that is a fact.

Rudy is NOT a Conservative, Bush was/is not a Conservative and we knew that in Bush's first election. We also knew how he felt about illegals and did he change his mind? NOPE, he pushed his illegal alien agenda from day one of his first term and continues. So Rudy is not going to change either and to say he will is stupid.

I have been shocked at what I have seen at FR where so many are for Rudy and bash those that want a true Conservarive. I came here not long ago after watching this place for awhile and reading over and over how FR came about way before my time here. Did that get lost some place? I don't think so, it is just that a lot of people seem to have the mindset of the "anything but" a Dem is OK.

In voting that way we as Conservatives are not letting the GOP and RNC know we have had enough of the Rhino's. Yes it will possiblly mean a Dem will win but how much difference is there in a Dem and a Rhino. In some cases not much, in others a bigger difference.

I resent that we even have to question any of this. I prefer a clean line drawn and our side to be strong and every Republican a true Conservative. But more and more lately I am meeting online and in person Republicans that are not Conservative and it is making me sick very concerned in the direction that America is going when our side is filled with this virus. I never caved in to pier pressure in my life and I am not going to start now. I have always voted, but if my own party has left me and I do mean left me. I am not going to change my character and what I want for America......to appease those with less character and with a liberal agenda just to say it is ok to vote for a Rhino it is better then an Obama or a Hillary.

I demand a Conservative to vote for.What has happened to the men that crossed our country in covered wagons, the courage of men and women to fight for what they knew had to be. Why do so many cave in from the pressure of Rhino's? The or else BS and the better of two evils mantra Republicans can lower their standards and stop standing up for what is right vs. what is wrong and stop fighting the evil within, but not I.

You have courage Mr. Robinson, you have fought the good fight, but it is not over yet. Now it seems the fight has grown to the invasion of the Republican party. It is close to home so to speak and it is much harder now because some of our enemy is within our camp.But so is the world we live in. Our enemy is everywhere, in many countries not just one, they wear no real uniform and walk our streets and ride our buses. They lie in wait for all of us to be Rhino's and cave in so that more of their ilk can be in Congress and the Senate ie. Keith Ellison.

We may be fewer then before fighting FOR America but right is on our side. The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves to see how easily some cave in to those that would vote for the likes of Rudy or McCain.

LOL!

We had RINO's 10 and 20 years ago. And before that in the 60's and 70's we had Northeastern liberals who were Republican and Southeastern conservatives who were Democrat.

If anything, we were getting more conservative...at least until November of 2006 when we lost many good conservative Republican congressmen.
