I was disappointed to see Rep Renee Ellmers (R-NC), who ran as a Tea Party conservative, blast The Heritage foundation's defunding push. She's another one that seems to have gotten co-opted by the RiNO/GOPe.

I say God bless Jim DeMint - and others - who are trying to sound the alarm on the whole 0Care debacle. Shame on those who've lost their conservative, even original Republican platforms, footing.

I don’t agree a Republican is a RINO/GOPe if they don’t agree with the defunding approach. I think some of them want Obamacare eliminated as bad as the rest of us. Listen to what they’re saying. They think there’s a significant risk of losing the next election if we give the media the chance to play the evil Republican meme again. Do I think they’re right? No, but it’s something to consider.

I’m simply saying a RINO/GOPe is someone who supports Obamacare or simply wants to fine tune it a bit. Obamacare is an abomination. In a free country, the government simply has no right to tell any of us what to do with privately funded health care (they do have the right to control health care that’s paid for with government $$$). A person isn’t a RINO/GOPe if they despise Obamacare but want to use a different approach to eliminate it.

We can’t continue to keep making enemies of every last person who disagrees with us. An 80% friend is our friend, so long as it’s truly 80% agreement.

I second that...God bless Jim DeMint and Heritage, and all those who are fighting for the Constitution. They need our prayers...group prayer does work.
