If the candidate is Rudy, Romney or Huckabee, the answer is no. We end up voting for republicans only to accuse them of being RINO’s which is exactly what a lot of conservatives have been calling these guys.
I thought Huckabee was a friend of the Freeper’s. He came and played for the Freeper’s when everyone was in Washington for Bush’s first Inauguration I think I remember that everyone thought he was a really good guy at that time and a lot of fun. Maybe my memory is wrong.
Agreed, I don't plan on ever reading another post and have someone say you knew what there were when you voted for them, example the amnesty king, Jorge. I will not accept the lesser of two evils.
I am going to vote for Hunter in the primaries, but I have no control over other peoples’ votes, so come November I am going to vote for the Republican even if he is a RINO simply because there is no other choice. The real opportunity to have your favorite candidate is in the primaries. Then you vote for the person you really believe in, not because you think that he can win against the Democrats. If we are fortunate enough to have a true conservative win in the primaries, then it is up to the Republican Party to “sell” the Republican candidate to independents and Democrats as well. Ronald Reagan was a conservative but he got elected because he had a strong belief and he knew how to articulate his beliefs, so we shouldn’t be afraid that conservatives cannot win a general election. Besides, it is the liberal media that keeps trying to plant the idea in our minds that conservatives can’t win, because from their liberal view point conservatism is not a mainstream belief. But we know better, we know that conservatism is the foundation and framework of our culture and government. We are not the unAmerican weirdos...the liberals are.
After a Republican candidate is elected, all Republicans should support him all the way. Even if he is a RINO, all is not lost, he can still be pressured by “the base” to stay in line. God forbid, even if a Democrat like Hillary is elected, we can still make a lot of noise and keep putting on the pressure. Never give up.
As far as the RINO problem, I think that the highter up the political ladder you go, the more money and special interests come into play, so I think that there will always be more RINOs in the higher offices. I think that Republicans have to spread the warning about the deadly RINO much as Jesus warned about wolves in sheep clothing. As more Republicans and other Americans begin to realize that there is much duplicity in politics, they will become more discerning and careful in their voting. Hopefully this will begin to reduce corruption and power lust in politics. These problems will never go away, but they can be reduced by an aware citizenry. In a democratic government, those who wish to control us can only use trickery and lies. It is up to us to see right through them. That is the only way we can defend ourselves.
We Republicans were dealt a serious blow in recent years when we learned that there were people who would use the words and concepts of the Republic to deceive people into voting for them. For me, the peek behind the curtain happened when George W. Bush stubbornly and defiantly opened the border with Mexico. He is letting Ramos and Compean rot in prison while he lets drug smugglers go free. That is an icepick through the heart to all of America. I suspect that the open border globalists probably have several crypto-globalist candidates lined up in both parties. Even if a non-globalist candidate actually wins, the globalists will be all over him/her like white on rice, to bring him/her into the globalist fold. We have to realize what we are up against. The RINOs and special interests play like the major leagues, we cannot afford to act like the little leagues. We have to be “wise as serpents, harmless as doves”.
A rino is better than Hillary.
“If the candidate is Rudy, Romney or Huckabee, the answer is no. We end up voting for republicans only to accuse them of being RINO’s which is exactly what a lot of conservatives have been calling these guys.”
So you’re cool with Hillary. Got it.
Why vote for anyone other than the MOST conservative candidate?
A vote for Rudy or Mitt is not much different than voting for a democrat....I just can’t understand how you guys turn a blind eye to that fact.
