The point is that without the votes of these RINOs we would have neither Alito nor Thomas sitting on the Supreme Court.

That's a very weak point, considering that the first two were party line votes, and Roberts got about half the 'Rat votes. Sure, if those seats were held by communist 'rats, the vote would probably have gone the other way. But communist 'rat isn't the only alternative to socialist RINO. Until folks like you realise that, though, we're going to be awash in socialist RINOS.

The RINOs stood on principle in these votes

What principle? The RINOS followed party discipline.

stuck their fingers into the wind, took polls and reacted to phone calls.

Oh, really? more likely they just didn't feel like fighting a losing battle.

voting Republican at all costs in November.

All costs? Even at the cost of electing a self-so-called "republican" who's indistinguishable from a 'Rat? No, thanks. Spare me the bogey-man argument. I don't buy it any more.

Make haste from Rio Linda.

There you go again with the personal insults. And you were doing so well, there. Looks like the effort made your head explode.

Pity.

Rush Limbaugh references offend you, huh? How utterly unpredictable.

You see, this is where you get into trouble: RINOs aren't socialists. (I'll type slowly.) They are liberal on social issues and staunch capitalists economically. They are generally opposed to wealth redistribution. They are for tax cuts. They are pro-wealth. They are pro-corporations. They are for school choice, vouchers, enterprise zones, repealing the death tax and almost all of them are in favor of outlawing partial-birth abortions (off-topic but true).

Socialism is what modern Democrats espouse. It isn't what RINOs espouse, and it's the primary difference between them, because on social issues they are frequently indistinguishable from one another.

Due to their capitalist bent (and coupled with their pro-military stances) they are preferable to Democrats. Since they are preferable to Democrats in these areas, conservatives should vote for them if the choice is between the two in order to deny Democrats the platform to implement their twisted Socialist vision for America.

Isn't that jumping to conclusions? Do you only accept conclusions made by yourself
