Unfortunately, the RINOs and Washington Pubbies see low turnout at Republican primaries as a sign that there are fewer Republicans...they think they have to run to the Left.
They never think about the facts that we have had a bunch of RINO candidates rammed down our throats and nobody wants to go vote for them.
The Republican establishment is clueless. The spend their lives surrounded by liberals and drink the kool-aid.
I’ve said it again and again. Many of us are still in shock from the one, two punch of our own party leadership trying to cram that amnesty bill down our throats. We need to be reassured. Instead they are back with their transparent lies trying to get us to pull the lever for Juan McCain. Where’s the fence, my friends?
I turned out in MD this morning - for the last time as a Republican. When I left the polls, which were almost deserted (more conservative area in northern MD), I immediately headed to the post office where I dropped a voter registration form in the mail to go "I" and drop the Repug party after 25 years.
I keep seeing people using the term "RINO", as if that means a non-conservative Republican. Not so anymore. The new party base and presumptive nominee is now left of center, meaning conservatives are the new "RINO". I don't use the term anymore, since it's not really accurate.
If the GOP is clueless, then maybe we each need to send a postcard to them and tell them WHY folks didn’t bother to turn out for the primaries; because the primary system is so messed up we can’t even count on it being only Republicans to choose our nominee.
