Oh, I’ve answered your points in the past, but I don’t see any reason to rehash it all again. Some of the other posters on this thread did a good job of that.
You seem to think I like voting for RINOs. I don’t. Fortunately, I’m from a strong conservative state, so I don’t have to. I’m simply afraid my conservative senators are going to be in the minority again because of folks like you. No disrespect—it’s your vote, but if too many conservatives sit this out, we’re going to get Harry Reid again. Sorry, but no RINO is as bad as that.
I also don’t like the way some FReepers tear each other apart over this. Some of the name calling and just plain disrespect on this thread is uncalled for. We’re ideological allies here, but how in the world can we build political power when we can’t even be polite to each other?
You never answered my points because to answer them you’d have to admit your position is unsupportable.
No one drags you into a voting booth with a gun to your head. No one makes you post supportive excuses on the internet while holding a 16 tonne weight over a puppy. If you vote for a RINO, you support that RINO and the beliefs and policies of the RINO. There is no “Against” box near the Dem name. You just refuse to admit you will compromise your stated beliefs because you feel the fight is to much to bear.
If you opposed RINOism, you wouldn’t help put them in office. Period. Trying to claim otherwise is ridiculous. And no one genuinely opposing RINOs would make posts filled with excuses for them 2 years ahead of a presidential election.
