“Are you going to keep on supporting liberals with an (R) next to their name in the future? If so, then the answer is yes, you can’t call yourself a Conservative if you fail to be a Conservative on the one day it counts the most.”

Well, I’m a Conservative because I know in my heart I’m a Conservative, not because I fit into some arbitrary mold you have shaped. And despite your attempts to define what such actions may or may not mean, I would never make a “statement” by acting in a way that would get the likes of Barack Obama re-elected.

I would suggest that keeping Obama from being re-elected is Job One, and I would be making just as valid a point as you if I questioned the true conservatism of ANYBODY that enabled Obama’s re-election just to prove a point.

Will I work to get the most conservative candidate nominated - absolutely.

But if our broken primary system is not fixed, and we wind up with what you consider to be a RINO, I will vote for the “holding action” Republican rather than stay home and let Obama complete the destruction of our nation.

Work your ass off to fix the primary process and get Conservatives nominated, and try not to spend so much time being the “true Conservative” police.

It's your conscience - I think at some point you'll realize that voting for a liberal with an (R) next to their name is still voting for a liberal. It's taken me many years to come to this conclusion, and even then I still voted for McAmnesty last fall. No more though - I'm not going to support either of the two RINOs in the Texas Governor's race - I'll take the lesser known Conservative or a third party once she's out of the primaries.

But if our broken primary system is not fixed, and we wind up with what you consider to be a RINO, I will vote for the “holding action” Republican rather than stay home and let Obama complete the destruction of our nation.

We've been voting for those "holding action" Republicans since George H.W. Bush - Bob Dole, George W. Bush, McAmnesty. Another 16 years of "holding action" Republicans will insure the destruction of this country.

The only difference between Obama and the RINOs is the amount of time they take to destroy our country - in the end, they are both after the same thing, and the RINO actions and policies of the last 10 years have helped ensure that Obama and future socialists/democrats are able to achieve their goals.

I have no doubt that electing more RINOs will ensure that the socialists/democrats are able to get their way in the end. Jim Robinson is right, no more RINOs in Congress, no more RINOs, period.

See post #1,269 and #1,286 from Jim Robinson, he addresses the “holding action” Republicans you think we should support.
