“...hate what the Democrats do so much that you despise any Republican...”
I despise RINOs who help them.
Explain to me how it serves our cause to elect quislings, just because they have an “R” after their name?
It’s not hard to understand. Better the enemy you know and can unite against, than the “friend” who pretends to be on your side and then crosses the aisle to help the enemy on every important issue, or stands idly by refusing to impede or block while they ram things through.
I’ve held my nose and voted for folks who I knew were weak. John McCain was a perfect example. Lesser of two poor choices. I voted because Sarah Palin was on the ticket.
Do I hope Democrats win? No. But it’s better that the blame lay entirely on their shoulders, with a clear “D” of failure on it, than to have any hint of “R” compromise.
If the compromise is on something for the actual GOOD of the country then there is no problem with that.
The GOP in Congress united against Obamacare. That was good. They should be doing the same against everything this admin has tried to ram through. That’s why we sent them there in 2010.
Agreeing to ram through Amnesty for an invasion of Illegal Aliens who care nothing about being American other than getting on the free chow line and voting Democrat forever is NOT for the good of the Country.
If that’s not clear enough, then there’s nothing else I can say to you about it.
Believe me, I want the quislings identified and thrown out of office, but the time to do that is during the primaries. That’s why Cantor’s loss is so exciting. That’s exactly how it needs to be done.
The problem is, what to do if someone like Cantor wins the primary? Some here propose voting for Democrats to defeat RINOs like Cantor. In other words, they’re willing to sacrifice someone who is with us some of the time for someone who will be against us all of the time.
Some make a valid point that a Democrat win might actually be better in some cases. That makes some sense to me. For example, let’s say we have someone like McCain who not only is a RINO but a RINO with a lot of political power to do damage to us. In some few cases, there might be a legitimate reason to sacrifice a seat as the only possible way to eventually put a decent person in it. Of course, that’s a minimum SIX YEAR wait when it comes to a senator.
I’m not talking about the exceptions, though. I’m saying it’s generally a very bad idea to elect Democrats. I don’t even care if the moderates vote Democrat to defeat conservatives. We know that’s what some of them do, and even though it infuriates me, I’m not going to cut my own political throat to get back at them.
In very precise terms and not counting a few special cases where the RINO is doing us grave injury, I want someone to explain to me exactly how the country is somehow better with more Democrats in office.
