Not supporting the RINO does not equal supporting a liberal.
RINOs tend to be liberal, see Mitt Romney for an example of a liberal wearing an R label.
If Boehner et al cannot take a stand against liberal Obama, they wouldn’t take a stand against liberal Romney.
In other words, many of the current crop of elected reps AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY with the “new direction” our country is going in under liberal leadership, and will do their best to make certain conservatives are not represented at all.
Except to play to us when they want our votes!

So your answer is to support, say, Romney who is ideologically the same as his opponent?
Show me how the RINOs are any different from the Dems?
When have they supported US in any meaningful way except to do token useless actions that they knew were futile so they could say “Well, we triiiieid, honest!”

The brand is tainted, conflated, and offputting to those that aren’t politically obsessed.

It is those things to more and more conservatives too.

“Not supporting the RINO does not equal supporting a liberal.”

It does in the general election unless it is an alternative universe where the Dem is less liberal than the R.

This is an example of the cynicism and nihilism that you preach.

Your goal seems to be to spread disillusionment and defeatism.

Romney in no way is as bad as Obama and to make such as case cannot be construed as anything other than either support for Obama or misanthropy for the sake of it.
