We must stop knocking Republicans who are not 100% with the program.

So are you suggesting that we ought to support RINOs like Specter, Collins, Snowe, Voinovich, Martinez, McCain, and Graham?

I will knock any elected official who's not conservative or libertarian, regardless of his or her party affiliation.

Huh? What the hell are you talking about? So if someone is with us "only" 99% of the time instead of 100% of the time, that puts them on the same level as Arlen Specter? (whose with us only 40% of time)

I guess the purist mindset here is you're either with us 100% of the time, or you're RINO scum and deserve to be destroyed. Talk about cutting off your nose to spit in your face. That's certainly not the mindset Ronald Reagan had. Hell, Reagan wasn't even with us 99% of the time.

The funny thing is even the politicians you worship and pretend are with us 100% of the time are not perfect. You just pull a monkey "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" move and stick your fingers in your ears whenever they do something that doesn't fit the deity-like pedestal you've placed them on. Your hero Jim DeMint, for example, refused to say anything negative about Hillary during her confirmation hearings, and publicly stated that he thinks she'll be "one of our nations greatest secretaries of state". (that's his exact quote in the quotation marks) But you simply ignore that little tidbit because it flies in the face of your mindset that DeMint is 100% perfect and everything he says is gospel.

By that simple fact, it shows DeMint is not 100% in agreement with you (I certainly would have "questioned" Hillary's credentials for SOS if I had been at that committee hearing, and I suspect you would have well), therefore using your own twisted "logic", he's RINO scum and doesn't deserve our support.

So no, the poster is not suggesting we should support a liberal RINO douchebag like Snowe or Specter. He was quite clear -- a person doesn't have to be 100% perfect all the time to earn our support. For example, anyone who agrees with me 85% of the time is certainly acceptable in my book, and is far better than the likes of Arlen Specter will ever be. Too bad they're RINO scum in yours.

I didn't say “support.” There are only so many hours in a day. I think we should stay focused on Democrats and the Obama programs tearing down the nation!!

You are playing right into the hands of the Democrats.

You had better be paying attention at who is in the WH and the Congress and what they're doing. You seem to be oblivious to the real threat they are to this country. Your hatred for RINOS is so intense you cannot even see what is happening to your country.

I despise any RAT more than I despise any Republican.
