It stands for "Republican In Name Only," an appellation that self-styled conservative purists apply to any Republican who disagrees with them about anything

Odd isn't it?

When we stand our principals, we are "Self-styled Conservative purists".

When they agree 60-70-80% of the time with Democrats and stab us in the back politically time after time after time, they are "independent thinkers, mavericks, moderates".

Absurd for people who have never had any loyalty at all to the GOP to now scream bile at us about how we have to be loyal to them.

When they agree 60-70-80% of the time with Democrats

According to the ACU ratings, McCain agrees with the liberals only 15 % of the time, the same as many other Republican officeholders who don't suffer such abusive invective from self-styled conservative purists.

You and me are in full agreement. We have a man who has opposed us, the party, the president..you name it, for a decade. He has called us names, ridiculed us, and fought many of our ideas. But the eastern establishment still nominates him.

I held my nose and voted for Dole. I haven’t failed to vote and vote Republican since Gerald Ford. But it’s over. They can call me every name in the book. I live in Arizona. I know what McCain is, a human lizard. He gets elected with the Dems throwing up a token candidate so they can support McCain. McCain is a liberal. I will not be threatened or bludgeoned into voting for this piece of excrement. The party needs to be taught a lesson.

If it will help at the lower levels, by all means show up at the polls. In my district, we have an incumbent feminist Democrat and no statewide races. I’ll be doing something else this time.
