Unless the polls are all wrong, of course. That’s why I say our problem isn’t RINOS, it’s CINOS.
***The problem with calling them CINOs is that they’ll swear up & down that they’re conservative. But they stop short at calling themselves socons — social conservatives. I know they don’t like being called solibs.
So the tension is between socons and wannabe conservatives.

The best name is like the socon one, where each side accepts it. We don’t consider them to be conservatives, and they do. So we need a name they’ll admit to — maybe pragmacons. Principled socons vs. compromising pragmacons.

“...maybe pragmacons.”

Haha! That’s pretty good, I have to say. I guess my point is that if 90% of your biker gang is gay, you are in a gay biker gang, no matter how much you try to deny it.

It is my take that I am in a moderate political party (Republican), and “we” conservatives or “socons” are in the minority in this party. I also believe we have a duty to our country to vote in the presidential election, though I have no problem with someone who votes “third party.” However, one voting third party should join that party in my view.
