Exactly.

If it is the choice of whether to take one step back or five steps back from the conservative agenda, I’m going with one.

I am very surprised there are so many with this opinion.

Vanbasten: “If it is the choice of whether to take one step back or five steps back from the conservative agenda, I’m going with one.”

Unfortunately, we keep one and two-stepping to the left. Even Reagan, God bless his soul, couldn’t reverse this country’s decline into socialism. Just 25 years ago we were talking about eliminating entire federal departments. Now, in our own ranks, are candidates who support mandatory health insurance, a nationwide smoking ban, and large-scale illegal alien amnesties.

You know, I probably wouldn’t care so much about the left except for the fact they won’t leave me and other citizens alone. They aren’t content to ruin just their own cities and states. They want to take the entire nation with them, and no one may decline to participate. And they once called this nation, “Land of the free, home of the brave!”

Liberal-lite is no better than pure liberal, since the end results are essentially the same. With candidates like McCain, it’s only going to take us a little bit longer to reach the same destination as Hillary. And, I think I can make a very good case that a RINO is actually worse than a leftist in that a RINO infiltrates and destroys conservative institutions from within.

What can we do? Don’t vote for RINOs!

That’s a false dilemma, a classic fallacy.

You can take one step forward with conservatism by supporting Hunter. You can stay in the same spot with Fred. You can take various steps back with other RINOs.

And then when Fred endorses McCain, you won’t even bother to be ashamed of your lack of judgement.
