Yep! He did it. Mitt used the ol’ “electability argument,” AKA “A RINO in office is better than two conservatives in the bush.” It’s a common argument used by RINOs to hold onto office once voters have mistakenly elected them.

Exactly. An article posted yesterday told how John Cornyn was rationalizing pushing Suntan Charlie Crist for the Senate seat in Florida over Marco Rubio. Cornyn’s sole equation was that Crist could raise a lot of money so that Cornyn’s senatorial committee wouldn’t have to spend any money defending the Florida seat. Evidently, conservatism did not enter into Cornyn’s calculation.

Way too many of these guys are a whole lot more Republican than they are conservative.

Want the Republican Party to become more conservative? Donate to conservative candidates in the PRIMARIES.

Support J. D. Hayworth, Marco Rubio, and Chuck Devore.
