Too many RINOs....what are we going to do?????
Me, myself, I | 3-17-02 | Dan from MI

Posted on 03/17/2002 6:14:26 PM PST by Dan from Michigan

I've heard talk everywhere about RINOS, amnesty, CFR, and the like. Here's the question. What are we going to do about it.

I finally as of Jeffords defection, learned it was a two party system. Period. I also learned that there is still enough difference AT THE LEADERSHIP level between the democraps and GOP to make a difference. It's the COMMITTEES and JUDGES that count.

I votes third party in one major race in 2000. I voted against Spence Abraham since I have no use for liars. I regret that now. Spence sucked, but he is better than Debbie Stabusall, and because of Stab, Cantwell, Jeffords, Carnahan, Corzine, and Hitlery, we have Tom Dasshole, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Scumer, and the trial lawyer ultra leftist arrogant jackass John Edwards. I am also glad I voted for W. He's not God. He's not even a great president with the Patriot Act. However, he has done SOME good that can't be discounted. He turned his back on Kyoto. He let generals run the war. He told the UN gun grabbers to pound sand. Alwhore would not have done that. He was the best we got in 2000 since Keyes didn't win the primary. Ashcroft isn't my favorite right now either, but at least he's solid on the 2nd amendment. I'd hate to see Eric Holder in there.

If we don't want the dems to win, what the hell do we do about the RINOs? The Fred Uptons. The John McStains(The exception where I'd vote dem). The John Warners. Mike DeWines. What do we do about them? It's a long term committment to clear the GOP of these RINOs.

1. If you are not a member of the county GOP, then you aren't stopping these RINOS from getting started. Please join your local GOP. That's where it starts. Don't take out your anger on Mike DeWine on your local level. They aren't DeWine. Most of them are more likely more conservative than the John Warners out there.

2. Support local conservative reps for office. Open seats are the best bet. I'm backing a solid conservative in a state rep seat. State Reps become the next congressmen.

3. Primary RINOs out of office. Dale Shugars is primarying Fred Upton. MCRGO is backing Shugars. He can win too.

It starts local. If the RINOs don't win the county commish, City council, mayors, prosecutor, or sheriff seats, they can't win higher election. If I know that the drain commissioner is Anti-Self Defense, I don't vote for that person. Today's drain commish, city council, mayor, etc is tomorrows state rep in Lansing. The state reps become congressmen, senators, state attorney generals, and governors. Today's governor is tomorrows president.

I want to get rid of the RINOs. Is turning on the party going to do it. Nope. It gives the RINOs more power. Is primarying them out going to do it. It gives us a shot. Is making sure that RINO's lose local office going to do it...absolutely.

Let's build a solid conservative farm club out there, so we are strong in the big leagues. We need to develop talent, and all of us are capable of brining our ideas to the party. If they don't listen....keep yapping and primarying them until they do listen.

Good luck to Dale Shugars. It's time to send Upton back to St Joe's. There could be another primary soon against another GOP RINO gun grabber. Stay tuned. I'll announce it when it's official.

Yeah... don't you just miss that inspiring leadership of Trent Lott when he was Majority Leader?

Yep.
And in a lotta places, where you have eternal DeomcRAT candidates holding offfice, a conservative Republican doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Period.
That is why the GOP fields these RINOs. They think, "Well, at least this guy (or gal) might have a chance against thes demos.
Well, they don't, but that's why it happens, I think.
And, once in a while, they win, and that's how we end up with them.

I wish there were more of you - people who can see the logic and reality.

I see a parallel with this subject and the gun associations. They think they have been wronged by their group so they want to try joining some obscure organization that doesn't have a chance.

Hey the only reason Libertarians scare me is that their vote keeps some Republicans from getting in. Other than that they are completly ineffective.

When you finally accept the fact that "politics" and "principles" are mutually exclusive terms,
it makes it easier to cope, but harder to care.

Great post, Dan!

There's another thing we can do: win our friends and acquantances over to Conservative ideas. Tell them not to believe everything they read in the press. Explain them why Socialism is bad. Remind them of the futility of appeasement. Point out why the Second Amendment was passed...and so on.

The best way to extinct RINOs is to create a strong Conservative sentiment throughout the nation!

On this forum of late one is called a RINO if they wonder outloud if our President is going to sign US up for global taxation with the U.N. at the summit in Mexico.

Taxation without representation is an urgent issue who cares what political party anyone is? What congressional act or law said that the U.S. possibly being taxed by the U.N. was even up for discussion?
