Not sure there are not more than one! What better place to create disharmony than here on FR.

Personally I think Simon and McClintock should get a clue and back Arnold who can win. Neither of those two stand a chance to get elected! Without Arnold, neither of them would win either. Wish for once, Republicans would put the good of the State and Republican Party ahead of their own selfish interest in order to win in October.

Came to the conclusion over the last several days that the purist conservatives are just downright selfish -- only explanation. Their "so-called" stand on principles cost us elections and we get DemocRATs who are worse than the Republican candidate they tanked! What good is their "so-called" stand on principles if the outcome is worse?

Have also decided over the last few days that the word RINO is being used on the wrong group of people. To me the Republican in Name Only are the arch right conservatives who threaten not to vote if they don't like what the Republican candidate is all about. Never hear Arnold, Olympia Snow, Susan Collins and others say they are not voting for Republicans if they don't agree 100% for a Republican candidate!

Think about it -- only one group threatens to sit home and not vote and actually did in 2000 which almost cost Bush the election -- the ultra right which includes the Keyes faction of the Republican Party! Seems to me they are the Republican in Name Only part of Republicans since they didn't vote for President Bush or stayed home. As Keyes said in 2000, he was going to sit back and say He Told Us So when President Bush lost in November. I don't call that a "real" Republican!

These non-voters/non-supporters yet want to tell the rest of us that we are RINO's, but yet we vote in every election and probably 99% of us vote straight Republican. Something is wrong with this picture!
