All Right, People, 'RINO' Is Officially Banned - Don't Be a ROIYD

[smoking357]

I am so tired of these ceaseless posts calling people RINOs [Republican in Name Only]. People who fall into this category are Dan Coats, Lindsay Graham, Olympia Snowe, John McCain, etc.

None of these are a RINO. These people are absolutely not Republicans in name only. They are true Republicans who stand for the most basic principle the Republicans have - getting elected.

All you people who call these Leftist Republicans 'RINOs' now have a term that applies to you - ROIYDs [Republican Only In Your Dreams], because you hold this ideal of a Republican that the party does not share. The Republican you want exists only in your dreams.

The Republican Party has had a hand in every expansion of governmental power, loss of Liberty and attack on gun rights enacted since the Civil War.

Don't be a ROIYD. Start recognizing the Republican Party for what it is. If it's not what you want it to be, find another party that does match your ideals.

I found a great keg party last weekend. It was ideal.

ROIYDs...as in Hemorrhoids?

While I agree with the OP, just whom should the people vote? There certainly isn't a choice between any of the candidates. The Democratic party once the party of individual liberty, abandoned us as well.

Many will vote for the GOP, just simply they refuse to vote for the Democratic party of gun control. When in fact, the GOP is equally as guilty. Ron White has it absolutely correct when he states, "You can't fix stupid."

Libertarians are the obvious choice, but lack the acceptability as most don't know what a libertarian is, much less the political ideology. John Stossel proved that one just a month ago, when he interviewed people in the street, asking for some definition of the same.

What is required to happen, is to work from within of both parties, and put the original intent of the constitution first. Those candidates which don't exemplify a knowledge and willingness to follow that path, will be told by the loyal party voters that they will vote for their opponent come election time.

Unfortunately, this rant will only result in VOIYD: Voter Only In Your Dreams (Pronounced as "void", as in taking a leak on your leg). Resulting as a subset of the Ron White pragmatic theory of people.

Plato was right when he said that those who are best suited to rule have no desire to rule at all. We will never have ideal candidates because ideal candidates will not run for office.

Your post, as usual, is excellent. How about having the block of voters threaten to sit out the election and not vote until a party makes unbreakable promises to it?

Auction off their votes, if you will. See who bids the highest price.

The truth is that there is no reason why a gun owner should hesitate in voting for a Libertarian. A gun owner's disputes with the LP are far more slight than they are with the Rs and Ds.

In your opinion, what disputes would a gun owner have with the Libertarian party?

To the extent that a gun owner places that right above everything else, none.

I beg to differ. I hold the willful ignorance of defense and border security/immigration issues to be just as unpalatable as RKBA infringement. Perhaps even more so.

I built a fire today and made coffee, it was hot and I didn't burn myself on it.
Good day for me,

Yeah how'd that work out for RINO McCain in '08?

 

[SavageEagle]

What I don't understand is if Libertarians are such great people and are so Constitutionally sound, why don't they pick a Party and take it over? Or infiltrate both parties. If it's going to be impossible to get name recognition running as a 3rd party, why not massively infiltrate both parties, and then either change those party's from the inside out, or renounce the D or R party and declare themselves an L once they're elected and HAVE that name recognition?

Surely that can't be so hard.

Political egos the way they are, I fear that it would be easier...........

So being relatively new here, I guess I am missing the off topic posting joke?

Libertarians are afraid that the people may end up turning the GOP into the Conservative party this country desperately needs.
