“Sometimes it seems the only way to shed the dreaded “RINO” label is to forget about pragmatic lawmaking and instead just appear on radio or TV, selling CDs, books or other trinkets, and telling everybody only what they want to hear.”
No, I actually want them to do what they say. If they say they are for less government, they should vote and pass legislation accordingly. If they are for lower taxes, they should do the same. And if they wish to restore the nation to a more morally healthy state, by defending traditional marriage and removing perverts from the military, then they should do so. And most certainly not compromise- every time a compromise is made, we lose more than our enemies on the left. Piss on the country-club democommunist-lite RINO scum.
We always used RINOs where we could find a disaffected but otherwise popular Democrat to run in a district where there was an overwhelming Democrat majority.
That's one of the ways we broke the back of the Democrats in the Souf'.
The Country Clubbers are simply the higher income middle-class and young rich guys who do party work. Remember, the Democrats make use of their special interests to toss up "leidership" to use in the party structure itself. Ordinarily Democrats don't simply cut the rich people into the party structure ~ as Bloomberg can tell you, it doesn't matter how much money you've got, they don't respect you in the morning unless you've served on the Planned Parenthood board, been a kneecap breaker in the union, or taught gradeschool.
