Some of those words sound familiar. Several FReepers said they would not vote for Romney (especially those who hate Mormons) because he was just as bad as Obama. Oh, really?

As bad as a RINO may be, and I am not disagreeing on RINOism, the argument that it may as well be Hitlery does not compute with me. Soviet-style socialism was characterized by secret tribunals, abuse of individuals who were enemies, etc. That is the political left in this country. I don’t like RINOs, but I do not see any of them doing what Obama or Hillary are capable of doing and what they actually have done to people. Our side and the press would never let them get away with it.

I was on your side until the GOPe started trashing its conservative base.

That’s when I realized that the DNC was taking us to Sovietism by trying to chug the bottle. The GOPe pretends to be resisting that by getting us to Sovietism one shot at a time.

That’s why I say it may as well be Hitlery. The goal (Leviathan government) is the same. The means to get there is slightly different.

What unites them is their common enemy: the American Patriot (TEA Party, conservatives, you and me).

If the GOPe considers me an extremist and their enemy that they need to defeat and destroy, the feeling is mutual.

Sorry, forgot to mention.

Yes, you are correct. The RINOs would never use the same Stalinist, Machiavellian tactics that the left uses.

But that is only because they are playing the “good cop” in this political game of “good cop/bad cop.” They are happy being second-in-charge of a Leviathan government.

That is why they pretend to be opposed to the socialist medicine act that the DNC pushed but secretly have not intentions of undoing it. That is why they increase spending. That is why they continue to expand and resist the expansion of the federal government.

Good cop or bad cop?

I vote for neither. Give me a Ted Cruz or Rand Paul any day.
