Maverick finally polling over 50% among Republicans

They’ve marginalized themselves. And continue to do so, by playing the petulant victims of the big meanie RINO’s.

There ya go, attacking them oughta convince conservatives of their folly. Surely it couldn’t polarize attitudes further. Right… right? Not.

Who knew that to RINOS’s ‘conservative’ meant ‘subservient?

I have also changed the word ‘conservative’ in my lexicon to ‘the disobedient’, with the understanding that, RINO’s without conservatives can also be titled ‘losers’

It is not a truism that if RINO’s lose, consevatives also lose

In many cases, when RINO’s lose, conservatives have a better deck to play

The arguments RINO’s use to convince conservatives to obey are specious

for instance, the idea that John McCain will install Supreme Court justices who will strike down McCain Feingold, find for upholding border and immigration law, and prevent non citizens from voting in federal elections by overturning laws that prevent identity and citizenship checks of voters

Such justices are called ‘strict constructionist’

By definition, strict constructionists would oppose John McCain on his most important issues

Such justices might even declare that the United States is a nation, not a region

RINO’s are a minority but they represent globalist business interests and leftist progressives who do not fit in the democratic party despite their shared globalist agendas because RINO’s want to tax only the middle class while democrats want to tax both the upper and middle class

Because RINO’s are a minority they need the votes of conservatives. They cannot win the votes of conservatives with shared ideology, because conservatives do not share the prime globalist agenda which is open borders and the end of statism

Therefore, RINO’s can only attempt to blackmail conservatives to vote for them. However, this will not improve the supreme court, or the open borders situation.

RINO’s all put on duck hunting gear at election time to show their conservatism, but so did Kerry.

Now the RINO’s point the gun right at conservatives, instead of the ducks.

That bird doesn’t fly anymore.

It ain’t being petulant. Petulant is the master with unruly slaves. It is pragmatism.

It is the simple fact that there is nothing real in the RINO’s crumbs for the conservative.

I will enjoy this election watching the RINO’s crash and burn. The country would not be better handing it over to their solutions

Leadership is not predicated solely on ideology….unless you will accept nothing less than the ideologically pure. Then you marginalize yourself. That’s not an attack, that just the way things work.

W.W.J.D?

or for atheists and deists,

W.W.F.D?

(‘F’ to all conservatives, stands for ‘Founders’, a pure and simple ideology that conservatives believe should never be watered down for the sake of expediency or RINOs)

That of course is the definition of conservatism, which is why RINO’s do not need them, not one of them, or their stinking holier than thou votes.

It is a good thing RINO’s do not need conservatives because they made the fatal error of butt-kicking conservatives before the election and then crowing loudly

It like the B=slapping going on now, for the good of the poor conservatives who will become marginalized, unless they give up their principles and vote RINO.

As McCain’s Mom said (paraphrased)- Eat it

Eating it is a lot better than being marginalized, If conservatives eat it, they will not be marginalized because they will have a leader who does not represent their interests

Heh

Man I feel powerful
