That was not a quote from Fred. It was a quote from the linked NRO column by Jim Geraghty.
I’ll vote for half a loaf — yes, even Rudy, holding my nose — before I’ll stay home or go third-party and put Hillary in the White House. I would hope that any America-loving FReeper would do the same.
You have my support.
I'll NOT be jettisoning my CORE principles and beliefs, and setting a dangerous precedent for my party and country, by voting for ANY liberal, whether they have a "D", or an "R" after their names... PERIOD.
And that's BECAUSE I love my country, and don't want to see, what has been my party, diluted and demeaned by the very left-wing dogma I've been been fighting and guarding against my entire adult life.
If so-called "republicans", in their ignorance and stupidity, select a liberal RINO like rudy, then they deserve 4 - 8 years of a liberal democrat in the White House.
After the dems screw everything up for 4-8 years, then maybe, our party will realize that it is DIFFERENTIATING OUR PARTY FROM THE LIBERAL DEMS, and NOT running some northeastern liberal with an "R" after his name, that will win us long term power to help get this country back to the way the Founders intended it to be.
We need to purge the RINOs from our "tent", NOT bring more of the bastards on board.
[sigh] If Rooty Julianni is the party nominee, then the Republican Party is DEAD!
It won't make a damn bit of difference if Hillary or Rudy wins the election. There's barely a dimes bit of difference between them.
If the country is going to get flushed down the socialist toilet; I'd just as soon a damn democrat did it so I can't be associated with it's demise.
And perhaps, maybe, we can reconstitute the party - NO RINO's ALLOWED - out of the ashes.
