“RINO’s” aren’t just politicians.
The problem here is that a large part of the electorate - that part of which is needed to achieve power - ARE “Rinos” themselves.
And unless we want to forfeit power for the sake of impotent virtue, then we must come to an accomodation with these people, which requires compromise, and if need be the election of a fair number of “RINO’s”.
Compromise is a two-way street. So far, all I have seen is RINOs wanting to compromise with leftists and telling conservatives to shove it while expecting conservatives to cough up cash.
In fact, that's the biggest problem with the GOP.
F- the Democrat Lite RINOs. F- McCain, F- Romney, F- Bush (both of them), F- Snowe/Collins, F- Grahamnesty, F- Steele, F- Huckabee, F- Cantor, F- them all...and their stinking apologists and shills.
“The problem here is that a large part of the electorate....ARE “Rinos” themselves”
Not really. Those sort are independents and politically stupid and fickle.
“which requires compromise, and if need be the election of a fair number of “RINO’s....”
No. Moderates (not liberals like Mark Kirk) are acceptable to me if it’s them or a socialist democrat are but they should never be supported in the primary.
Neither RINOs or third parties are productive to achieving conservative government.
