Believe me, I want the quislings identified and thrown out of office, but the time to do that is during the primaries. That’s why Cantor’s loss is so exciting. That’s exactly how it needs to be done.
The problem is, what to do if someone like Cantor wins the primary? Some here propose voting for Democrats to defeat RINOs like Cantor. In other words, they’re willing to sacrifice someone who is with us some of the time for someone who will be against us all of the time.
Some make a valid point that a Democrat win might actually be better in some cases. That makes some sense to me. For example, let’s say we have someone like McCain who not only is a RINO but a RINO with a lot of political power to do damage to us. In some few cases, there might be a legitimate reason to sacrifice a seat as the only possible way to eventually put a decent person in it. Of course, that’s a minimum SIX YEAR wait when it comes to a senator.
I’m not talking about the exceptions, though. I’m saying it’s generally a very bad idea to elect Democrats. I don’t even care if the moderates vote Democrat to defeat conservatives. We know that’s what some of them do, and even though it infuriates me, I’m not going to cut my own political throat to get back at them.
In very precise terms and not counting a few special cases where the RINO is doing us grave injury, I want someone to explain to me exactly how the country is somehow better with more Democrats in office.
It is not better. Electing GOP GETS YOU DEMOCRATS! It is no different because they SUPPORT WHAT THE DEMS DO!
WHY do you not see the history of this country in front of you?
“...Some here propose voting for Democrats to defeat RINOs like Cantor. ...”
You will never hear me say anything like that. You WILL hear me say I will write in my choice, rather than vote for a RINO.
When I vote for a RINO, I am being used. That person is using MY vote to help the Dems.
“...I want someone to explain to me exactly how the country is somehow better with more Democrats in office...”
You are absolutely correct - It’s NOT better. But my question remains: Explain to me how it serves our cause to elect quislings, just because they have an “R” after their name?
I think you and I probably agree on a great many issues, but I cannot and will not support a RINO that only stabs us in the back “some of the time”... those “some times” invariably are on the key and important issues that typically are things Conservatives want stopped dead.
