“This thread is really depressing. I question how seriously I can take people who dislike Obama but won’t vote to get rid of him.
“Disgusting!”
Dislike Obama? That’s irrelevant. Personally, I disliked Nixon a lot more.
The problem is that Obama is decidedly against American values and is anti-freedom. RINOs are different only in degree. The problem is not whether I like them. Joe Biden is probably a nice guy, if a doofus.
The problem is their philosophy and politics, and that they all, including the RINOs, need to be driven out of office in disgrace, if not handcuffs and manacles.
I would not see a difference in voting for Obama and voting for Romney, Crist, or Huckabee. All are nice nough guys. All would lead us to a socialist, totalitarian State. There would just not be a real American patriot on the ticket, and I would have no choice, so why vote for either?
I’d probably stay home and pray for the Repubic.
Did you vote for McCain, stay home or vote third party?
I don't agree at all. Generally speaking, RINO's like McCain, Grahamnesty, Collins vote conservative about half the time and they vote liberal about half the time.
A tyrant like Obama is a statist 100% of the time (or close to it).
All one needs to do is look at the voting records to see the difference.
Hey, I have no problem if one wishes not to vote for a RINO (when given the choice of a RINO or Obama). But I do have a problem with someone who rationalizes that vote by comparing a RINO to a 100% certified tyrant as being only different in degree.
