You seem to be advocating that conservatives continue to elect liberal republican for the sole sake of not electing liberal democrats who govern identically.
That implies that victory rather than principle guides you.
Since conservatism and liberalism are incompatible, it it logically follows that a person doing do bases his ethical choices on winning rather than principle. thus, situational ethics.
Simple really.
Now are you saying we should elect GOPe RINOS who govern like Democrats or not?
I am saying that we need to replace RINO's, but not at any cost. I think that destroying the GOP would leave an open field to the Marxist/democrats to finish what Obama has started.
A senate majority of republicans may or may not do much to stop Obama but it would probably be better than having Harry Reid loading up the courts any further.
I favor adding as many solid conservatives as we can muster to replace the democrats and the get along republicans.
I think that other than the trolls we all have the same goals. The best way to do that is to keep increasing our influence from within the GOP. I would however love to see McConnell sent home this time. He is the leader of the RINOs and it would send a message to all of them.
I know the level of frustration is very high amongst conservatives and the urge to lash out is strong. But, I have found out the hard way that those urges usually lead to rash judgments.
