Years ago my wife and I shifted our exuberance from the party to specific candidates. We're more involved and more committed as a result: we know who's good and who isn't, we've got connections, and when there's legislation we want (or don't want), we have access -- they know us by name. And it's a lot more fun than just writing a check...

Well, it's also why I say we need to kick out as many Democrats as possible and replace them with Republicans. And, obviously, with as many conservative Republicans as possible. If we have a larger contingent of conservatives in the Republican caucus, then we can overcome the left, regardless of party affiliation. But, the reality is, if the Republicans do not hold the majority, then the caucus of the left (the criminal enterprise also known as the Democrat Party) controls the legislative agenda, controls the judicial appointments and controls the ratification of treaties, etc. The Republicans must retake the majority and the larger the margin the better. Vote out the Democrats! It's the only way to retake America!

RINO loyalty is worse than a one-way street. There is always the threat of a stab in the back.

Forget about them voting third-party or not at all, they'll vote Democrat and sabotage conservative campaigns by mouthing Leftist talking-points for the "mainstream" press.

The RINO message to the Right is:

"Shut up so we can take your votes for granted already."
