I’m of the thinking that the worst, call it what you want, Republican, RINO, Moderate Republican what have you, is better than Obama. I’ll vote for whomever receives the nomination, period. Its about the future of the country. ANYONE is better than what we have now. The WORST Republican is better than what we have now. I’ll put all personal beliefs aside to vote for the nominee. If I did it for McCain, I can do it again. I’ve always thought the only way we lose 2012 is if we run the wrong candidate. I believe the media had a great deal to do with McCain getting the nomination. While watching the national convention, I knew then we had lost it when McCain started going “fight with me...fight with me.....”. It was sad quite frankly. He made Dole look Reaganesque. Newt won’t get the nomination and neither will Romney. There is a dark horse out there who will lead us to victory in my opinion. IF we can get him nominated.
The one upside is that even with a RINO, the chance of left wing majority in the SCOTUS is reduced ...somewhat. But it may no longer simply be a question of what party controls the executive branch. In the long run, both parties are in the same leaky boat.
