Charles, I am not a McCain supporter. I can see his faults even if you can’t Romneys. Niether will ever get a vote from me.
If democrats can get our votes by registering in the RP, then they can certainly get a vote in the democrat party. Put a (D) after their name and they are going to get votes, just as putting an (R) after their name will get them RP votes.
If all the RINOs in our party switched, our party could be conservative again, and the left would be drawn measurably to the right. It would actually be a win win.
One person? I doubt it would change much. All RINOs, it would swampt the left and change things considerably.
Some will say this would leave conservatives as a small base. It wouldn’t. True conservatism when explained and championed and put into practice, will attract many to it’s tenets. Reagan did it.
Assuming that now you are using RINO to mean liberals and moderates, if they all switched to the Democratic party they would be voting for Democrats instead of republicans and we would have very few people in the house or senate.
We don’t need liberal candidates, but we DO need moderates and even some liberals to be willing to vote for republicans they don’t agree with.
Those who think we win by pushing people to vote for democrats are not thinking clearly.
