There is nothing to consider. RINOS got us into this mess refusing to hold anyone on the left to any account at all. Multi uear investigations leading nowhere, excuses for Obama overreach, allowing DOMA to be destroyed and DATT to be pen and phoned away.
they were complicit. They did nothing. That’s reality. Romney haz less conservative positions on his record than Obama. Literally. look it up. Mitch declared war on the Tea Party. They are complicit. And as such, no different than a democrat.
Every major issue they either sided with dems or caved into them. Thats a fact. Anyone supporting and or wanting more of them is no better than they are.
How is it caving when Democrats control the presidency and the Senate? I think it’s pretty clear that President Obama will NOT compromise, and Harry Reid has the president’s back. How does one win in a situation like that?
You claim the RINOs are complicit. I claim they’re largely powerless to change the status quo.
I’m not saying the RINOs are with us on every issue. They are not. What I am saying is a RINO does not equal a Democrat. That’s not really conjecture. It’s fact backed up by voting records.
Hey. I don’t like compromise with RINOs, but compromise is better than outright defeat. Do you really think we’d be better off today if every last RINO was replaced with a Democrat? That’s absurd!
BUMP to the top. It's time for the "conventional wisdom" (which I subscribed to for decades) that RINOS are better than Democrats, to go out the window. It is a textbook example of "conventional wisdom" being an oxymoron.
Citizen, if counting on RINOs to be better than Democrats actually worked, we'd have turned right by now. It has failed and will continue to fail. HAVE YOU NOTICED? We have been turning left for years and years, and all those years and years, we -- ME included -- have been voting on the premise that RINOs couldn't possibly be more dangerous than Democrats.
Many of us, including me and Norm, have woken up. You are still slumbering.
