“Rinos arent great but they are way better than Obama. Period.”
RINOs like Bush I, BushII, Dole, McCain etc. pave the way to the Obamas of the world. They make socialism more palatable by easing us into it and putting a partial GOP-seal on the movement toward it.
They muddy the waters, confuse the issue and weaken our opposition to what’s happening on our side. By being on “our side” where much less likely to criticize them for doing the same exact things Obama does. That makes RINOs in some ways more dangerous — because they drain our resolve for true reform.
What would help is a clear alternative and maybe a crisis that forces us to adopt the painful post-Communist-style reforms that are necessary. See Chile and Poland. RINOs will not get us there. In fact, they’ll help lead us in the opposite direction.
Under these circumstances, it might be best for Obama to win the election, further wreck the economy and make the options between socialism/fascism and free-markets a lot more clear to the electorate than they appear to be now.
America’s finished if Obama gets a second term, if not the entire world.
