So all the "pragmatic" conservatives who bit the bullet and voted for RINOs once again in November 2014 got their reward with the Republican votes for Obama

Lie #1. In the general election, conservatives stayed home, they didn't vote for Obama. Try to at least start your thread with a smidgeon of integrity.

Uuuummm - the last time Obama was on the ballot was 2012.

What the writer meant was the RINOs in congress voting to support Obama’s agenda.

Maybe you need to reread what I said. I think you missed the point, because you were so eager to make an accusation that you leaped before you looked.

In the heat of politics, emotions trump the mathematical and material reality of a vote. People who argue that failure to vote was a vote for Obama, fail to think in terms of voting for. They vote "against." They confuse intent with action. They intend to vote "against" the Democrat. They act to put functional Democrats in charge of the Republican party.

I did it myself for years.

*sigh*
