“” What’s the track record of candidates we’ve had to hold our noses to vote for, so as not to be overpowered by the stench of Rinocrat?
1992...HW pi$$ed away a Desert Storm approval rating, lost to Bubba.
1996...Bob Dole, famously tagged as the tax collector for the welfare state.
2008...John McCain...first to go nuclear on fellow Repubs, but famously said we need not fear a Barack “no middle name” Obama presidency.
Mitt Romney...again went nuclear on fellow Repubs, went limp on Obama.
Those who say we need to hold our noses and vote for the Rinocrat need to show when that’s been a successful strategy.””

Meaningless. It’ll work this time. I can feel it...
There’s another thing that goes with this. Plenty of us told the RINO/No matter what crew over and over exactly what would happen with almost total accuracy. Certainly all the big points we hit dead on. And we told them they were going to lose if they did it. Election after election. Some going back far further than me. Stevie Wonder saw this coming so we don’t have anything to be arrogant about. It was sorta obvious...
And yet we are supposed to feel shame for being correct. We are supposed to feel bad and simply shut up about being correct. We are supposed to stop trying to keep people from repeating their mistakes.
What freaking planet are we on today?
