I am sick and tired of being called a RINO on this board. I have never been called anything but a devout Republican by anyone who has ever known me. My girlfriend thinks that I am some times too over-zealous with my love of the GOP, yet I come on this board and I am called a RINO. Why? Because I believe that the GOP is spiraling down a tube they may never be able to crawl back from and the radicals of the party are leading the way? Because I want a party to look to when I get older and want to run for office? Because I know that winning a Texas Senate seat is not winning a general election, and if we ever want to win another election we need to stop shutting down the government and threatening to default on our bills? Why am I a RINO, and if I am a RINO then so is Ronald Reagan, so is George W. and H.W Bush, so are every other major Republican candidate outside of this most recent congress. The most ineffective congress in the history of the United States. Does that mean nothing to any of you? That in almost 250 years, the U.S. has never had a congress as incompetent and irresponsible as this one. Im not here to talk about Obama or Harry Reid or liberals, that is a whole other conversation that needs to be had, but I want to know what these radicals intend to do when another general election rolls around and you want to put Ted Cruz up, but he is only projected to win in Southern and Mid-Western states, and he is facing Hillary. What then? The GOP looks like it is being led by radicals who don't get why moderates wont vote for this guy. Like if the Democrats were electing occupy Wall Street leaders into congress, or put up guys like Abbie Hoffman in during the 70's. What do you plan to do? I am legitimacy curious.
