Am I going to make an excuse for voting for a RINO? In certain instances, yes, by all means. In no way am I advocating that I want mushy moderates to dominate our party. For you to infer I am a mushy moderate is a lie. I am anything but a mushy moderate.
I am talking strictly about a method to advance a conservative agenda and in the process we are going to HAVE to have some RINOS. It is the only way to ever attain a majority.
If you have been brainwashed that it is to our advantage to allow Democrats to attain an office as a way of advancing our desired agenda, I strongly disagree.
If you believe that is the case, show me how that will work. Are you advocating to NEVER vote for someone you do not believe is 100% to your liking? Another problem is that there is NO consensus on what, or who, is a RINO.
I have said before and I'll say it again, by all means vote for the most conservative candidate you can get in a primary. After that, vote straight Republican. That way we advance our agenda. To do any other way is retreat.

“The truth is the ‘Maine Twin RINOS’ do have some value. We need them to make a majority.”
Accept is has happened time and time again that when we really needed them, RINO’s vote with the Dems. McCain-Feingold ring a bell? How about ending the fillibuster on Healthcare? RINO’s came to the Democrats aid.

“How will we ever achieve victory if we all sit back and wait for the perfect people to come along.”
Like “Brady Bill” Bob Dole or John McCain? How’d that work out for us?
You keep calling me a “liar”, but the above quotes are YOURS from just this one thread.
