Anybody that doesn't hold their nose and vote AGAINST the dems staying in control must prefer the dems to a moderate Republican.

Either that or we're just not short-sighted. If we keep voting for RINO's to satisfy an immediate concern, then all we're going to get is RINO's and Dems from now on, until the country finally slides into full-blown socialism. Sometimes it's necessary to make a temporary sacrifice and look at the larger picture.

That "temporary sacrifice" you refer to could easily become permanent, considering all the nice poll workers, attorneys general, bureaucrats, and vote counters the victorious Dims will appoint, not to mention the little "tweaks" to the election laws and Gerrymanders they'll make.

Libertarians and other third parties pull about 2% now. After a few years of your notorious "sacrifice", you'll be lucky to get .05%. The Dims, don't forget, will NOT make it easy for you. Hell, you just might find yourself banned entirely. Refer to my long post for the TRUE "big picture".

You might also, after you calm down, view THIS little gem. It does quite well refuting that emotional "they're all the same" nonsense.

We have to think rationally. Outbursts like yours evince only heated emotion, not deliberate thought. Such emotion leads to poor descision making, and can lose all for ALL of us on this vast field called "the right".

With cool heads and teamwork, we can defeat the Dims and the Left at their own game. Isn't that what you want?

Yes, like the eight year temporary sacrifice better known as the Clintons.

All of those principled Perot votes look rather sad in retrospect.
