By the next election anyone running as a Republican is merely advertising his weak spine and availability for sale. Republicans identified themselves loud and clear with this vote. Those who stick with the label will mostly become traditional Republicans. The few who retain principle will not be enough to stop the race to totalitarianism. These are not RINOs. The characteristic used to identify RINOs is merely traditional Republicanism. That is who Republicans are, what they are.
Poppycock!
You can live in your doomsday world of gloom and doom, but WE.....WE CONSERVATIVES.....have moved the entire conversation to the right.
Do you actually think there would have been even the slightest fuss about the debt ceiling without Tea Party Republicans? Do you think there would be the hope of a balanced budget amendment without Tea Party Republicans??
I am so sick of those of you who have thrown in the towel and are willing to let the country go to the dogs.
There is a HUGE difference between RINO's and the people we elected in November. We just need more of them. LOTS more.
You can give up if you don't care what happens to this country, but I'm sure not going to.
