“Actually they’re not. There are very issues that Cornyn (the leader of the bunch that selected Crist) is RINO on. That’s also true for at least 75% of the Republican Senators...they generally vote good.”

This kind of statistic is meaningless. The question is, do they vote good when the vote is close. You would find an amazing tendency to bipartisanship by RINO’s when the vote is close and their vote actually matters.

The 75% is cover voting for the rubes back home. It is votes on bills that are already decided.

“The 75% is cover voting for the rubes back home. It is votes on bills that are already decided.”

I’m just making the point that these Senators tend to TOTALLY BLIND to how the future Senators (they support) will vote, as they support people like Crist (and Lincoln Chaffee...unreal), who appears to be even to the left of Snowe...yet those same Senators simply don’t vote that way.

If it makes you guys feel better, you can run around calling everyone a RINO who doesn’t get a 100% rating from the ACU - but there is NO WAY IN HELL that Alito, Roberts, and Thomas would be on the Court if it wasn’t for those 90% of the party that you call “RINOs”. You may not consider these votes like these important, but I sure do...and some
of those votes were very close.
So go vote 3rd party, if it somehow clears your conscience, and let your kids and grandkids try to clean up the mess that you’re leaving, by empowering even more Democrats.
