Rats don't earn the primary free-ride that we tend to grant to rino's.
We end up with Jeffords and Spector for life. Always fearful that they will finally turn ultimate traitor... instead of issue-by-issue traitor... and finally they do.
At least with a Rat in the seat, a conservative has a clear shot next go round. Had Dede won, we'd be stuck with her for 20 years.
Thank you. rat...It's the new conservatism!
An incumbent is an incumbent. If voters are likely to keep a RINO in place, they’re just as likely to keep a RAT in place. I’ll take the RINO, thank you. At least it’s one less RAT counting toward a majority. WE must get to a majority!!
