Getting rid of rinos equates with replacing them with conservatives.

Not likely in general elections.

[DJ MacWoW]

Your post is silliness since it is the two of you that disagrees with the goal of electing Conservatives. I’m not interested in your garbage.

Time to pray for a conservative candidate on the GOP. My hopes aren’t up. If one were to get elected, let’s also pray that they aren’t pressured by the RINOS in the GOP to ignore the principles they stood for, and join the rino party line.

[Freedom2specul8]

Hard to tell... Normally I don’t need to see a sarcastic tag at the end of comment, but in this case it wasn’t clear.

[Cedric]

goal of electing Conservatives

Whoopdee-doo, you have a goal.

Greatgrandma has the same goal, but also espouses a concrete plan to accomplish the goal.

To paraphrase Reagan: She wins, you lose.

McCain is a rino therefore he’s dangerous because he doesn’t fight for conservative values. He’s not a straight shooter. He’s something we had to settle for. People aren’t willing to do that again. I know I’m not.

[Cedric]

I know it’s a long thread but I’ve been here since early on and based on her commentary throughout there’s no question she was being sarcastic.

She’s tried different methods of getting through to people whom she feels have gone off the rails.

[Cedric]

McCain is a rino therefore he’s dangerous

That's not the issue.

There are people here who go off the deep end and claim that McCain is MORE dangerous than Obama, which is preposterous.

[hiredhand]

I recall at the time many here, including myself, thought suspending his campaign was a smart move. It showed he could take charge, unlike Obimbo. But instead of taking charge and doing the right thing, he simply voted with the rest of the jerks in Washington. To me, it was that as much as anything that torpedoed his campaign.

Well said! He took a break from campaigning to go to Washington and destroy us with the rest of them!

[EBH]

Which is more dangerous?

The wolf

or

The wolf in sheep’s clothing

or

The wolf in Grandma’s bed telling you to come a little closer for it is all the better to see you...

[hiredhand]

WHERE would this thread be without Cedric!? ...without his intellect and foresight?!...without his uncanny ability to sort through this complication and then translate it for the less intelligents here?! Of course I'm being sarcastic!

Quit communicating with the bonehead! He's a disruptor.

I've quite thoroughly enjoyed reading what you two have to say though. I knew this thread was going to get ugly the moment Jim Robinson posted it, but there have been some very good things come from it.

[Freedom2specul8]

Being sarcastic happens. I understand that. The enemy of conservatives are RINOS, and they are the ones who deserve sarcasm. NOT US.

[Freedom2specul8]

RINOS are the issue. LOL

[rintense]

What a wonderfully contrite conclusion for you. BTW, a thinking conservative knows Reagan was not perfect. But he certainly wasn't a RINO either. There is a vast difference between being wrong on an issue and being completely off the map all of all of the time.

But you can have the Scozzafava's and Megan McCain's of the world. How sad is it that you and others like you see the (R) and automatically pull the trigger. You're the voter the GOP is relying on to push them further and further to the left. What a sad existence it must be to continually need to justify the actions of the RINO you voted for, let alone sacrificing your principles for party. Of course, that's assuming you have any.

[Cedric]

Agreed.

The impulse to suspend his campaign was brilliant.

And had he toughed it out, McCain could have consumed all the media oxygen by grabbing the reins of the financial crisis while Obama callously continued to campaign.

But McCain blinked.

[DJ MacWoW]

Greatgrandma has the same goal, but also espouses a concrete plan to accomplish the goal.

That's rather funny considering she spent the better part of the thread pretending to not understand.

To paraphrase Reagan: She wins, you lose.

That is a disruptive statement considering we are ALL supposed to trying to get Conservatives elected. Divide and conquer, hey Cedric?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

So you’re going to vote for Obama if the Republican doesn’t suit you?

[rintense]

You need to change your meds, honey. Your posts are increasingly frightening.

[Freedom2specul8]

LOL Well, I guess I will heck posting history for boneheadedness. Thanks for the heads up.

[DJ MacWoW]

It has been a good thread with some very succinct posts.
