Spoken like a true Rino who is not the brightest bulb in the box.

Actually, you're the "Rino." You reject a candidate you agree with 50% in favor of electing a candidate you disagree with 100%. You reject the GOP unless it conforms perfectly to your wishes.

You reserve the right to walk out and not support the GOP when the nominee isn't to your liking--to the point, I guess, of using GOP walking-around money to derail a GOP candidate you dislike--yet demand complete fealty from those Republicans who MIGHT disagree with you (or dislike your habit of vile personal attacks) if your candidate happens to win the primary.

Loyalty is a two-way street. You are unwilling--or unable--to show any loyalty outward from yourself, yet demand absolute loyalty inward to yourself. It is a sign of a profound spirtual sickness. I am profoundly grateful that you did not serve in the USMC: you might have decided to not cover the flank of the man next to you if he was a less-than-pure conservative like you.

If Kaloogian wins, I'm going to work extremely hard to get him elected. That's what's known as "loyalty." Call me a "Rino" all you wish, if that will make you feel morally superior to me.

But you will, if your candidate doesn't win, simply pick up a knife and give everyone else a stab in the back.

Whine about Ed Zschau having been a RINO all you want. Senator Zschau would have voted to confirm Robert Bork as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1987. We might not have gotten David Souter on the court had Bork not been successfully Borked. But you and your ilk decided that Alan Cranston would be the one to cast that vote, and he voted to not confirm Bork.

You, sir, are the RINO.

Your entire post is 100% accurate, you told them, like it is.

These "unapeasables" are correctly termed "useful idiots" for the Democrats, because that's whom they help, when you look at the bottom line.
