Oh, Jiminy Christmas, let's not rehash that crap on this thread, please. As for Schmidt, I didn't see her ACTIVELY working to elect Democrats and actively being courted to run under their party label as Chattanooga Chafee has.
No, it's better to vote for huge tax increases and huge spending increases. That's why we elect Republicans, to support massive Taft and spending hikes. Since you seem to have such a problem with RINO's in your backyard, please allow the rest of us to have the same animosity towards them in our backyard.
