I’m tired of certain people on this site, always the same ones, who attack almost every Repub as a RINO. I smell BS.
How very totalitarian.
A little research on Scozzafava might clear your sinuses. She is no friend to conservatives.
RE moose2004:
“...I’m tired of certain people on this site, always the same ones, who attack almost every Repub as a RINO. I smell BS....”
Nope. Not attacking every Repub. Just the ones who really ARE RINOs. Do the names Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter, Jim Jeffords, Lincoln Chaffee, Lindsay Graham ring a bell? At almost every opportunity these “moderates” ( I call them gutless cowards) side with the enemy most recenty Snowe screwed us over, last week.
And this NY idiot is as flaming a lefty as you can get.
There are AMERICANS...and then there are Liberals.
NO RINOs. Not Now, Not Ever.
If that means writing in a candidate that’s what I will do. I do not and WILL NOT automatically push the “R” lever just because “Oh my, oh gee, we just HAVE to beat the Democrat!”
Does us NO GOOD to replace a liberal with a liberal.
Better the enemy you know, than have someone we put there turn on us at a critical time for a critical vote.
As for being “tired of certain people on this site” - that’s called freedom of speech. You also have the freedom to NOT read their comments and move along to someone that agrees with you.
At the end of the day, one team, one fight. But not when we let the enemy decide who our candidates will be.
I’m tired of certain people on this site, always the same ones, who attack almost every Repub as a RINO. I smell BS.
+++++++++++++++
Moose, please admit, there’s a massive amount of clean up to do on aisle RINO of the Republican party. This has been generations in the making and they play perfectly into the socialists hands/plans.

If you compare the Democrat Bill Owens to the Republican, they agree on all the same things, except he is against same sex marriage, I believe the case could be made that the Democrat actually is more conservative than the Republican. So what is the point of electing a Republican, what does it gain us? I normally agree that 3rd parties don’t do anything but split the vote, but in this case it looks like the liberal vote could be split between Dems and Republicans, and the Conservative would get ALL the conservative voters.
