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.

You either replace them or you empower them. There is no third option. Schrodinger’s Cat isn’t a politician. We have a documented history over 30 years showing that returning Rinos to power increases liberalism in government. Conservatives, by definition, reject liberalism in any form. You can either continue to increase liberalism in government or not. Binary.

If you make the public, conscious choice to support rinos who are documented to increase liberalism in government, it logically follows that you, as their agent of empowerment (your vote and support for liberals in public) is responsible for the increase of liberalism in government. You do not get to hide behind the ‘R’. The ‘R’ does not stand for ‘Race Card”. The “R” does not stand as a universal excuse. A liberal is what his actions of liberalism show him/her to be.

You can either renounce support for liberals or you can embrace it. Either way. Your choice. Remember though that there is no possible or accepted definition of conservatism that includes support for liberals regardless of what party they claim. Because words mean things to everyone except liberals who see no inherent contradiction in lying to themselves.
