Is voting for a RINO in our own best interest?
If they are going to vote the same in the Senate, then wouldn’t it be better for the Democrats to own them?


If you think that way, then vote against McCain, Kirk, Rossi, and every other RINO running and the result is we lose. What have you accomplished? Defeat stolen from the jaws of victory again by self-defeating Republicans. The time to oppose these RINOs was in their primaries. We had our chance to defeat them. Now we must win with them. We aren’t just playing political games now. The democrat agenda is straight out of Marx and Engels. We have to get control of both the House and Senate to stop it from advancing and the presidency to reverse it.

I support Rossi. But it is my understanding that Kirk is a true RINO in the most literal sense. He is worse than Castle or Mirkcowsky.

People said Castle needed to win because O’Donnell was as good as defeated in the general election. That is most likely true. So what is your position on that?

Are you unhappy that O’Donnell triumphed over Castle?

Rossi isn't a RINO, he's a right-of-center Republican. RINO stands for Republican In Name Only.

McCain isn't a RINO either, through many freepers continue to rant and rave that is. McCain supports the Republican platform most of the time but has stabbed us in the back on some really important stuff and basks in the MSM spotlight.

Mark Kirk IS a RINO. He is more liberal than many card-carrying Democrat officials. This scumbag even voted for cap n' trade and partial birth abortion, and endorsed Elena Kagan. He's so damn extreme that the Jim & Sarah Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence just endorsed him OVER his Chicago machine Democrat opponent. That's not right-of-center, or even "moderate" or "centrist". That's liberal.

There is nothing Republican about Kirk. Sure he may have voted "with us" on a couple of issues, like tax cuts, but so did at least two-dozen card-carrying House RATs like Stephanie Hersch-Sadlin. That doesn't make them "Republican" anymore than it makes Kirk one.

Kirk is straight out of the same tactics that gave us Jeffords, Chafee, and Specter. We learned the hard way what happens when we elect "Republicans" like that. The only people that gained from having those "Republicans" in office were Democrats. Sorry, it won't work again this time. We won't vote for socialists who happen to have an "R" next to their name.

I used to think that most of those who shout RINO were trolls.
Not any more.

A far right guy I work with voted for the dear leader to teach McCain a lesson!
We can see just how well that worked out!
