You have to know that the "worst" Republican is light years better than the "best" Democrat...

...with this in mind, it is my intention to try to take out RINO's in the primaries.

I will vote for the most conservative candidate in the primaries...and vote for the winner of the primaries in the gen election.

I WILL NOT STAY HOME FOR ANY REASON, IF I AM STILL ALIVE...

A distinction without a difference.

Been there, done that. It's time to stop playing the "moderate" game.

I definitely intend to boycott the U.S. Senate race in TX in November 2014, but not the governor’s race even though Greg Abbott is running thus far an abysmal campaign.

I don’t know.. I’d rather do battle with someone trying to shoot me in the face than someone I thought was on my side who stabs me in the back.

That may be true of the worst Republican who would be worthy of the name, but RINOs who run as Republicans are far more damaging than Democrats. The difference is not merely one of degree--a squishy Republican may be politically unable to openly support conservative policies, but be happy if other politicians are able to push them. By contrast, a RINO, recognizing that his ability to "work with" Democrats will only be useful as long as the Democrats and their policies remain politically viable, will do all he can to ensure nothing undermines that viability. If the implementation of a conservative policy and its success would make the public see the moral bankruptcy of those who had opposed it, RINOs will do everything possible to prevent such a policy from seeing the light of day.

A RINO may not overtly declare himself do be the enemy of conservatives, but that doesn't imply that he has any real value as an ally. RINOs are good at offering support in cases where none is needed, but that doesn't mean they'll have any value in cases that matter.

Ultimately, it is going to be necessary to challenge the notion that a presidential appointee's declaration (approved by 51 Senators) that something is Constitutional magically makes it so. If something is unconstitutional, the Court is duty-bound to declare it so. The Court's failure to do so would not make the action legitimate, but merely demonstrate judges' willingness to behave illegitimately. Such a challenge will be much easier if the "balancing vote" is cast by someone who has been consistently condemned by Republicans as having zero interest for the rule of law.

The worst Republicans are indistinguishable from Democrats

“...and vote for the winner of the primaries in the gen election.”

I hear you, ...but many Rinos not only leave the herd, but actively work against the party nominee. Not sure if you were around in ‘80 when Reagan was despised by RINOs,...
