Even though the next presidential election is still more than 500 days away, it's never too soon to be prepared. After all, Obama hasn't stopped campaigning since Election Day, 2008.
To begin with, and let me be very clear about this: No third-party candidate, no matter how sincere or how well-funded whether the party calls itself Libertarian, Constitution, Tea Party, Bull Moose or Whig is ever going to win a national election. All a third-party candidate will do is ensure that a liberal will be able to win with just 40-45 percent of the vote.
Also, anyone who is too pure in heart to vote for the Republican nominee, whoever it turns out to be, doesn't then get to say, "Well, at least I had nothing to do with re-electing Barack Obama." If you don't vote for, as some folks like to say, the lesser of two evils, you will have a lot to do with electing the greater menace.
It is high time Republicans grew up. The reality is that politics isn't a game for kind hearts and gentle spirits; it's a blood sport with everything from war to energy policy to tax rates riding on the outcome. Therefore, it verges on the insane when conservatives demean the less conservative as Republicans in Name Only (RINOs).

“We have no principles, but only standards... and they can always be lowered.”
Bring on the blood. I’m tired of the progressive shenanigans. Time to put somebody with some serious stones in office, not some wussie Manchurian Candidate like Obummer.
When it comes to the ballot box I am very tired of having a choice between dimocrat and dimocrat lite. Neither one is acceptable!
The Republic is where it is at to day because there is no desire to honestly debate issues so the best solution can be developed and enacted. The root cause of this is the MSM who have constantly lied to America since the days of Camelot and Vietnam. Dan Rather's downfall was an accident not the media policing itself.
No so-called RINO would put Van Jones in charge of anything, bow to Saudi kings, send out a news release praising Ramadan, but "forget" Easter.
Make a stand and vote your principles.
Reminds of untrained soldiers. They often die bravely.... and quickly.
Work your ass off for the most electable Conservative in the primaries, then vote for the most electable conservative candidate in the general.
Forgetting that reality cost us the Senate in 2010.
Nixon, Ford, Bush 41, Bush 43 (2nd term), Dole, McCRap.....
they had there chance and REAGAN the conservative succeeded!!!
Okay...if RINO hurts their feelings...how about we just go with “Traitor”....
The hell with them.
This guy could have been on McCain’s campaign staff in 2008. He sure sounds like it.
What is insane is that we KNOW what needs t obe done to fix things and yet we have RINO's pandering to the liberals who are destroying our Country.
If anything, we need to fight the Socialist idiocy being spouted by those in the GOP twice as hard as we do from those in the DNC.
A RINO who continues to perpetuate the marxist policies that we are being saddled with is NO different than the marxist currently in the White House. The only difference is the speed of the decline.
Nominate a RINO in 2012 and I can guarantee you that RINO will lose. Apathy from a significant portion of conservatives will guarantee it, IMO.
Then you are responsible for giving us Obama, but a least you remain pure. Thanks a lot.

Folks, we have a winner!
