Doesn't this sound familiar!! From the article:

RINO Methods

The RINO modus operandi is crystal clear. First, RINOs savagely and falsely smear conservatives who offer a choice in Republican primaries, even courting Democrat votes with classic shameless Democrat-style race-baiting.

Second, after working and spending vast sums to defeat conservatives in primaries, the Establishment demands that conservatives support RINOs in general elections because Democrats are allegedly worse and conservatives have no place else to go. After the lame-duck effrontery the country just suffered, defiant RINO nullification of an election won by candidates who campaigned on the appeal and strength of conservative promises, the "lesser evil" siren song has lost a lot of its appeal.

Third, and most important, while demanding conservative "lesser evil" support for RINO nominees, the Establishment often does not reciprocate. Nor are RINOs content to remain mute about their distaste for conservative nominees. Instead, RINOs feel free to trash conservative Republican nominees. Then Establishment "experts" pontificate that conservative candidates can't win general elections because they are incompetent, too extreme and just plain nuts. Obviously, when a conservative primary winner has to fight not only a Democrat opponent but also malicious attacks by those supposed to be on his or her own side, it is grossly unfair to declare him or her unelectable.

The Lesson: Turnabout Is Fair Play

There is a lesson here. For RINOs, the "lesser evil" ploy is a one-way street. Many RINOs favor defeat of conservative Republicans by leftist Democrats, if that's the choice. Turning the tables is long overdue.

And as Karl Rove observed, they will ALWAYS vote GOP on that basis alone.

Boehner, who, from day one, has prevented use of constitutional powers Congress does have in order to block a lawless president from abusing powers he does not have — and who now has nullified the clear results of an election.

About sums it up right there, Dump Boehner, he is the Enemy

The RINOs should quit the republican party. They are democrats (wolves) in sheep’s clothing. They have stooped to lying and empty promises, just like the democrats.

Simple math folks. The GOP has become evil. If you vote for it, make excuses for it or try to save it, you are as evil as they are. Because thats the result of empowering evil.

ABB (Anybody But Boehner) works for me. If electing Nancy Pelosi (and later dethroning her and replacing her with a TRUE conservative) initially is what it takes, so be it.

The Mississippi primary election has told us what the GOPe is really all about. And that is NOT the best interest of the American people.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again ... the *REAL* elections that count in this country are the *PRIMARIES*. Until we fully realize this and act accordingly by putting real energy into the primaries then none of this garbage will be stopped.
