The lie ... and can not be trusted.

Romney invented RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE and imposed
gay marriage, and then had the audacity
to purport it was someone else.

Romney/Rove attacked Gov. Palin mercilessly to throw
the Election 2008 to Obama.

Correction—Most Republicans in Congress are spineless RINOs.

WRONG!
"Establishment Republicans" DO produce results, and they're BAD RESULTS, VERY BAD RESULTS!


I read a great article by Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret. written February 4, 2011 from "NewsWithViews.com" and here's part of it.
Read Compromise Is a Dirty Word for Club for Growth.

Take a good long look at where "Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.

There is no difference between the democrats and republicans now, they both get lumped into the category of the “government”. The party elite on both sides now put their best interests above those of Americans, and they have proven that they will do anything to maintain that.

Carry_Okie's seven reasons RINOs can't be trusted:

Nixon, Ford, Bush I, Bush II, Dole, McCain, Romney.

Lessee, that's seven. Too bad there isn't room for Warren, Knight, Wilson, and Schwarzenegger.

#8 They do not observe their oaths of office to preserve and defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. They abandon it. They agree on the selective enforcement of our laws based on poitical correctness.

The Republican Party may be mostly conservative,

This is where I stop reading. The Republican party does not represent conservatives, and hasn't for at least a generation. The Republican party represents moneyed political operatives seeking to serve the interests of its mostly corporate financial backers by wooing conservative voters. That's a very different thing.

Yet, if you listen to the Republican establishment, you'd think all is well and it is just business as usual. We don't need screaming or rants about Hitler, but it would be nice to get the idea that the establishment Republicans aren’t content to sit on the deck of the sinking Titanic, watching the ship go down while they ask people running by if they'd like to play a game of shuffleboard while they’re waiting.

Worth repeating.

This is a nicely put article, and that is an excellent supplementary list.

Just seven reasons? I should think its more like 107. what they did to Sarah Palin alone is enough to start a 3rd Party. We expect such things from the Democrats and Liberals—but from the GOP? What they have done to the Tea Party (after using it in 2010) is a disgrace. Time to clean house in the Grand Old Party—or Junk it for a new Reform Party (Sans Ross Perot ego)—

LLS, there's only one group today's Republican party in Washington obey, and it ain't us, believe me. It's the boys and girls about a mile down the road:


Washington is unsalvageable. About the only hope our country has comes from the states and the 10th Amendment.

The GOPe doesn't care if conservatives move on because they are perfectly happy cutting deals with their Democrat pals. They could care less if they destroy this country, as long as they can hang on to some power.
