Absolutely agree, and that is who I support. My Senator Jeff Sessions, for example! :-)

However, I still vote against/oppose democrats everywhere and anywhere.

Early in my military career, there were conservative democrats, or at least pro-American democrats, such as Scoop Jackson or John Stennis, and as a military man I felt they had my back as much as anyone. But they are gone and the entire party, represented by such anti-Americans as Pelosi, Kooksinich, Obama, Holder, Warren, Boxer, Hillary, Dean, Lurch, etc., etc., have all kicked them out.

To that extent, I am left supporting Republicans, because the alternative IS killing the country... The country I love and vowed (and still do) through a sacred oath to defend to the death.

The time to oppose RINOs IS the primary. Every state in the Union had primaries, but this year, once again, voter turnout was dismal at best. I can only conclude that many stalwart conservatives stayed home, and typed their hatred of the GOPe on computer keyboards, but forgot to get in the car and go vote.

It doesn’t take much to search the web and find out what a particular state or district’s primary turnout was. Even in such states as Kentucky, where the Horrible Turtle Man, Mitch McConnell, was opposed by a TEA partier, had a 26 % turnout. Now how can conservatives win a general election if they don’t vote in the primary, in order to GET a candidate they can vote for?

So I think a lot of it is hot air and blow-hard-ism. I’m tired of hearing how awful the Republicans are without nary a remark about how awful the democrats are... People complain here all the time about the House of Representatives and how limp they are, but these guys have passed hundreds of good bills that have all been shot down in the Senate. Yet people are going on and on ad nauseum about Boehner—but not Reid. It is tiresome. I think they need to focus on the options we DO have, and vote accordingly.
