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.

The incidence of Tea Parties will continue to mount as the “silent majority” have been stirred to their core values.

This will be one long hot summer of discontent. Anti-incumbent fever will heat-up. Get involved now. Too much talk and not enough action.

In Ridgefield, CT the venue for next Saturday’s Tea Party was changed to accommodate the constantly growing estimate of the crowd.

We are witnessing the germination of nothing less than a new American Revolution. This protest will dwarf the anti-war protests of the late 1960s. It will only fade away when Congress is cleansed of all the dead-heads and dead-hearts.

We’ve got plenty of work in front of us. Start today. He who hesitates is lost!

Absolutely. These RATS are destroying us and we spend our time worrying about Republicans. We need to keep our eyes on Obama and the DIMS. Be afraid, be very afraid.

It’s very hard to face the enemy when his allies are already within our walls knifing us in the back. That’s why RINOs (Democrat agents) are far more dangerous than open Democrats.

No, but you did imply it.

Deliberately neglecting to "knock" those non-conservative Republicans is just plain wrong. It's just as bad as governing for the sake of governing rather than governing towards a stated end; it's just as bad as saying that you only vote Republican, even for liberal RINOs, while simultaneously claiming to be a conservative.

You are playing right into the hands of the Democrats.

First off, I'm not a Republican. Second, I play into the hands of no party. As an independent conservative voter, I will vote for conservatives, not Republicans pretending to be conservatives.

That said, if a particular Republican is also a conservative, I have no problem supporting him or her.

McCain and other RINOs are ‘playing right into the hands of the democrats”.

I hear what you’re saying, by some people’s standards 90% of the Republicans in Congress are RINOs.

But we have some bad trash in our party we need to clean up, like Arlen Specter and John McCain (his overally voting record is fine but that masks his negative impact), people that hurt the conservative agenda from inside the GOP.

Certainly this should be discussed. I don’t see how talking about one thing detracts from another.

We should scream and point at the inferno across the street while ignoring the smoke rising from our own house?

I criticized RINO President Bush this one time and some guy said it was “playing into the hands of democrats” and detracting from the fight against Obama.

I don’t get the argument, this is a discussion forum.
