Well, I mentioned Specter because he's close to home; he's an entrenched RINO who wins by large margins here in PA. Maybe he won't run for President, but that's not the only office that's important. The Senate might hang in the balance next year; how many liberal Republicans would you elect to keep it? Is there no such thing as too many?
Next year he'll face a true conservative, Pat Toomey, in the primary. I'm going to register Republican for the first time in my life, just to vote for Toomey. I expect Toomey to lose big, in which case I'll vote for someone OTHER than Specter in the fall, and change my registration while I'm at it.
If you want a realistic RINO Presidential candidate, try McCain. McCain got trounced by Bush, sure, but five years from now that won't be an option. McCain could very likely take the nomination. What will you do then?
Assess the situation at the time.
I am having a hard time following your logic. So if Traitor McCain gets the Pubbie nom. in '08 we should vote for Harry Brown and give Hitlery the White House? If McCain were the Republican nominee I'd vote for him over anyone the Dem's are currently running and I think he's a straightup fruitcake as well as a RINO. No other party would have a shot. If you can show me where I espoused a preference for RINO's I'll request the post be deleted.
