THEPATRIOTJOURNAL.COM: It's RINO Season!
It's RINO Season!
I am so proud of America today! The final few primary races for Senate are done and more RINO's are on the street. Conservative Christine O'Donnell, who was cast aside as a mere speed bump on the road to RINO Mike Castle's victory tour to the Senate, has given the Republican establishment all over the country and especially in her home state of Delaware a thumping. Ovide Lamontagne just barely lost out to establishment candidate Kelly Ayotte for Senate in New Hampshire, but Carl Paladino drops a huge stink bomb on the RINO GOP in New York by knocking off Rick Lazio in the primary for Governor.
We are not going to win all of these primaries and probably not all of the general elections. But the damage to the future of the RINO establishment is profound. "WE THE PEOPLE" are bypassing them. We have the power in this country, not the deal makers in smokey rooms. If we could only stay this engaged in the political process every cycle, there wouldn't be a problem with government ever. Let these victories sink in and let you see that each individual vote does make a huge difference. The RINO's are complicit with the democrats in ruining our great country, and your votes are making them pay the political price.
Mike Castle voted for Cap and Trade and was on record as saying that he wouldn't vote to repeal Obamacare. Is that the kind of Republican that anyone wants in the Senate? The answer this year is a resounding no. The RINO establishment keeps saying that to vote for Conservatives in the primary in blue states is giving the general election to the democrats. In my humble opinion, saving colorful metaphors for private use, I would much rather have 41 solid as a rock Conservatives in the Senate than 51 with 10 RINO's voting with the democrats all the time killing everyone's spirit like Scott Brown.
America is sick and tired of RINO's. Like Reagan said, we need bold differences from the leftist democrats, not pastels. A united front of solidly Conservative Senators will be a powerful force even in the minority. I am still convinced that we are going to win the Senate outright anyway. I think Americans are ready for the adults to take back the government. The Tea Parties and the fed up populace are forcing the contrast. No longer is "R" for Republican good enough, you are now going to have to prove it. RINO's up for re-election in 2012 beware, because your records are not in the shadows anymore. The entire Republican establishment is going to be re-made in the Reagan Conservative mold.
RINO's are worse than democrats. Don't get me wrong, democrats are truly the enemies of America but RINO's are worse, they are the Benedict Arnold's of Founding Father Conservatism. RINO's sell us out every time it counts. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins the two Republican Senators from Maine should switch to the democrat party, because they are never going to be Conservative. The northeastern states and the local GOP offices there should not be allowed to operate using the name "Republican". They give all of us a bad name. People in the northeast have never seen a Conservative candidate. A Republican from Texas would not recognize eastern Republicans.
The conventional wisdom was that Conservative candidates could not win in the northeast. This is a ridiculous notion that keeps power in the hands of leftists without a challenge from any Conservative. People seem to forget that Ronald Reagan won every single northeastern state in 1984 with a very Conservative agenda. Conservatism and it's results are always popular every time it happens. People are paying attention now and educating themselves. The reason this is happening at all is because leftist policies always fail and after 4 years of democrat rule of Congress and 2 years of Obama the American people are doing what desperately needs to be done. Lets keep this going, and return the government to the consent of the governed.

What angers me about these elections is that people like Mike Castle refuse to congratulate their opponent after they lose. These are the same people who will say everyone has to rally around them when they win, but now that they lose they want to take their marbles and go home. In Alaska now the defeated incumbent wants to run a write-in campaign. The behavior of these RINO’s is despicable. Reply to this

Funny how RINO's turn into liberal democrats once they are rejected. RINO's are a leftist cancer that must be surgically removed from the GOP. They are despicable in that they are without principles whatsoever. Mike Castle was in office for over 40 years and he still has not learned manners or dignity. He made himself look classless. The good thing is that we knows who they are and we must continue to purge them in every election. The days of RINO's running around without notice are over. The new media and the internet is exposing everything now good and bad. Reply to this
