They push us in a corner.
They black us out during natonal news coverage. (Few stories, or just ridiculing references, photoshopping debate photos to just show the Congressman's elbow, with the "annointed choices" only clearly shown.)
Then they leave us out of debates, even though our guy is a multi-termed GOP Congressman with delegates already.
And then the ICING ON THE CAKE. What I call the "you've gotta lotta nerve!" moment:
They come, handwringing to us in late October, PLEADING FOR US TO VOTE FOR THE GOP NOMINEE, otherwise they say the election will go to the big bad Democrats.
If this isn't playing us for fools and disrespecting us, I don't know what is.
Under that kind of environment, who WOULD among us Duncan Hunter supporters get behind a RINO in the general election if there were a Conservative, ballot qualified Alternative??
“They come, handwringing to us in late October, PLEADING FOR US TO VOTE FOR THE GOP NOMINEE, otherwise they say the election will go to the big bad Democrats.”
Just like they can’t give us any excuse now except ‘My guy can beat hillary!!” That covers 4 candidates. They all think that and it’s their biggest talking point. That and insults, rumors, marginalization. And that’s what you’ll get in October. They won’t plead, they won’t be nice, they’ll be just as despicable as they’ve always been.
I’ll vote for Obama before I’ll vote for Rudy, McCain or Huckabee. He can beat her. Then ‘the Kennedy Wing of the Republican party’ can finally get what they wished for....someone who can beat Hillary as the only qualification for office.
Not me, and I will do more than that.
I will defame the libs, R and D, every chance I get.
I want DC cleaned out.
Time to start over.
Great post AIT. But I gotta ask: why would you even leave the door open for the RINO if there wasn't a conservative, ballot qualified alternative?
No way will the liberal REP get my vote. If there's no conservative running in the general election I'll write someone's name in before voting the REP or the DEM.
I'm done playing their stupid game of trying to scare us into voting for the RINO because a DEM might get into office.
They don't want a DEM in the office? Then don't run a RINO against one.
I share your frustration!
