Then I suggest you re-evaluate your stance on party politics. Much of what you’ve come to believe about majority dominance, and GOP conservatism vs. Democrat liberalism went by the wayside long ago. Over the years both parties have drifted to the left, becoming close approximations of one another. A lot of this has had to do with our country veering to the left as well.

But the election of Obama, and what has transpired since, has caused a seismic shift in the way people see politics today. They thought they were electing a nice Black guy, showing we aren’t the racists the left accuses us of being. His socialist ideas, the major addition to our national debt, the takeover of industries, the nationalization of our healthcare, all these things have caused average Americans to wake up.

They wanted change, but not this change. 2010/2012 will again be about change. But mark my words, those who have been a part of this (and I’m including any Republicans who have shown a propensity to go along) will be red meat. Party politics will be one of the victims these next couple years. The only way the GOP (or the Democrats for that matter) will survive is if they take hold of the opportunities that are there, and go with the movement. So far they have no clue. But simply voting (R) because it is an (R) is not the answer.

I know I’ve been tough on you. You personally didn’t cause my raving, but were the unfortunate recipient. For that you can thank your cohorts Cedric and Conservativegreatgrandma who have taken every opportunity to belittle us, chide us, treat us condescendingly and make fun of us. I can take so much before I get even. You were in the way.

This is not an apology. I don’t apologize for saying what I believe. It’s merely an explanation. But if you continue to use a conservative forum that has publicly stated NO to RINOs, to espouse more of the same, this is a taste of what you can expect.

I don't expect you to apologize for saying what you believe, I know that I won't. However, I do expect people who don't know me to take me at my word when I say I believe something, as they are surely in no position to say otherwise. Likewise, I extend that same respect to others. It's a cheap DU trick to tell the other guy what he believes and refuse to budge.

I personally don't use the term "rino" so I purposefully laid out each candidate that I'm currently looking at with my order of preference. I left it for Jim to decide where that left me, and since I'm still here, I guess I'm not the devil to be banned at this point.
