I've been saying this a long time now, but it's a real and present threat that Hillary become the next CINC. The problem is that the conservative base is split. Half will flatly refuse to vote for quasi-conservative (RINO) nominees such as Guiliani, Romney, and McCain (is he even still "viable"?). The other half will of course vote for whichever RINO gets endorsed by the RNC in fear simply to try to prevent Hillary from getting into office.
If a Guiliani, or Romney make it as a national nominee, the election is over. At that point, Hillary will have already won. There are too many of us who simply do not fear. We won't vote for RINOs, even knowing that it will likely tilt the election in Hillary's favor in 2008. For this, I've been called a leftist, stupid, a troll, and numerous other names. We'll vote for Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul...etc...etc...
But what do we call people who have been warned (according to my last paragraph) and yet continue to act blindly out of fear? It's obvious to me that the RNC is attempting to "steer" people, and is fairly successful with it... to the point of steering those whom they are able to.
50% of the voters doesn't mean anything. It's the electoral college who actually makes the decision.
One more time...IF a RNC RINO makes to the 2008 election, Hillary
will become the 44th President of the United States of America.
"If a Guiliani, or Romney make it as a national nominee, the election is over."
I like the way you throw in Romney there with Rudy. The case could be made that Fred is "quasi conservative" too. Refusal to state an opinion and say one is a Federalist could be interpretted as someone who isn't as conservative as they would like others to think, and this is their way of avoiding being called names. I guess two can play that game, so you are saying it's your way or the highway? That's nice, maybe we should all play that game. And what is it with this RINO insult? We are all individuals, people do think for themselves. That's really good, call names and isolate everyone. What makes you think you are the "real Republican?" It's just ridicules, do you have any idea of how dangerous the democratic party is? People can vary a little in their opinions, it does't make them fake. Meanwhile, while you play word games because people are individuals, you will help the traitor party to win. That's really healthy, there is nothing dysfunctional about that at all. Grow up.
I’m afraid you are correct. The Dems have beem very successful in dividing us over how “pure” our candidates are.
The most RINO of GOP cadidates is a better choice (and an
imperativre for true patriots) than Hillary.
