[Antoninus]

Any of the Republicans would be better than Hillary even a liberal Republican.

Only in the short term. In the long term, the federal government will come to resemble the government of MA or NJ and the GOP will be a permanent minority party.

See tagline.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

The error in your thinking, as I see it, and where we disagree, is that you are trying to assign the liberal programs RINOs are able to pass in liberal states. You are mistaken in thinking that the remainder of the red areas in this country will allow a Romney to push his liberal plans through on the national level. Such liberal issues would have passed in liberal states whether it was a Dem or Rep at the helm.

As I said, any of the Republicans would be better than Hillary. And you are sadly mistaken if you think the populace has any clue what Hillary’s full plans are. The only hint we have is that she once said we couldn’t possibly afford all of her ideas. That’s about as honest as she’s ever been with her big-government plans.

So there you have it.
Vote for whomever you believe you have to. But remember, we got 8 years of Clinton because of a third-party siphoning votes from the Republicans.
I’m no fan of Romney. But I’d vote for him to prevent Hillary or any of the Leftist Dhimmis from winning.
