politics is “give and take”....you vote for a guy/gal that makes the best of the cards delt.........an “all or none” positions gets you nowhere.......them’s the facts in a two party system.
McCain’s positions on both illegal amnesty and global warming (puke)...have some things in them that I like...and some that I detest....but I can work with him. He is known quantity and I’m willing to give him a shot for 4 years. If he spends like Bush...I’ll want to wring his neck...but I don’t think he will. There are no guarantees.

I can’t work with Hillary or Obama..and know them to be at least Socialists (maybe worse) and don’t want them anywhere near the WH..THERE....that’s my breaking point.

You are NOT the rude one....But I also don’t think ones a RINO to support MCCain.....I do think it’s a waste of time to bash the only canidate that gives us any hope of achieveing SOME of our agenda....so all the name calling here on FR wastes time that we could use to otherwise influence MCCain to do our bidding.

That’s the goal: get the one closest to our views elected and commence the beatings until he sees it our way.

I suggest you move upthread and read my post #13. I never called anyone here a RINO. I called McCain (and his Republican political ilk) a RINO. Here's the entire paragraph: "You don’t like it, that’s your problem. Go ahead and vote for the RINOs as much as you like. You’re the reason we’re in this predicament. You’re the support they count on. Live with it."

And I stand by it.

You can? Really? Can't wait to see that in action.

Here is the problem with your statement. We continue to hold on to hope that we will be noticed. In the meantime, we continue to give away our votes and then get told that we are the problem BY THE REPUBLICANS THAT WE SUPPORT. This is eerily similar to the way that a majority of blacks blindly support Democrats. Until these cycles are broken, we will continue to be used.
