Right again, Resolute! Avacado, Resolute is correct, and I know this because I already took the path you now recommend. I took it California with Arnold Schwarzenegger over McClintock and then Cruz Bustamonte, and it was a hard lesson. Sadly, it is one that has soared over the heads of Republicans like you. Maybe you're just young and need another decade or two to figure things out. I used to think like you ... I finally wised up. When are you going to wise up and do the HARD right thing, instead of the easy middle-of-the-road long-term wrong thing that looks right but more importantly, makes you feel good? Just as it made me feel good to vote for Arnold instead of "letting" Bustamonte win?
If I had it to do over again, I'd let Bustamonte win; short term would have been very painful, long term would have been unpleasant but good medicine for the health of the Republican party. Instead, I fell for the fallacies you fall for now, and ended up hurting Republicans far more than if I'd voted out of confident principle instead of FEAR-based compromise.
Sorry bub, but if I have too, I'll take a RINO over Hillary or Obama any day! If you don't value the next 3 new Supreme Court appointments which will effect this country for the NEXT 30 YEARS then you are lost.
