The way I think is that an elected official has to earn my vote. I refuse to vote for some who is not conservative. Voting for a rino because they are not as liberal as the rats is like thank someone for hitting you with their fist instead of a bat. I will only vote for conservatives.

The comparison that I use is that the Dems are like pneumonia and the RINOs are like the flu. Both are deadly, but at least most people take pneumonia as a serious threat. They ignore the flu until it kills them.

You had better get your head out of the sand and realize what the alternative would be if the Dems are in charge, and don't give me that old mess about teaching the Republicans a lesson.

I am not happy with all that is going on, but I am not stupid either.

Well said and spot-on!

I will hold my nose and vote Republican (RINO even) if only to try to protect the military from the cut and run bunch.

After all their sacrifice and with victory ahead, sitting home amounts to spitting in the eye of our hero's. IMHO

I LOVE your sentence!... That is E-x-a-c-t-l-y the way I feel... :) - if having a pack of rinos running aroung is "winning," I would rather lose and have a shot at winning later with a better hand :)

I just wanted to see that in black and white again. That's the best paragraph ever authored by an acronym. I'll make sure to credit you when I slap libs upside the head on other boards with it.

By not voting for the democrats opponent, you are by default voting for the democrat.

we are in a numbers game.

You MUST consider the long term objective of eliminating the democrat party and then pushing the rinos out.

You can't win the war without more republicans. We need 60 R's in the senate. It is as absurd as the fools who vote third party thinking that somehow it is useful.

At our Republican State Convention in Augusta Maine this past weekend, one of the 3 Primary Republican Gubinatorial Candidates remarked that it is better - at least more honorable - to lose because of one's principles than to abandon or compromise them in order to "win".

Unfortunately, we probably WILL lose either way, at this point, if somebody down there in Washington dosent catch a major clue ASAP.

So, what do you do with a RINO and a Democrat as the only two choices?
