What's worse than a RINO?
« on: November 20, 2020, 09:57:29 AM »
A blue state RINO...

Never been particularly impressed with Larry Hogan. He's not a conservative... he's not really a Republican, either, at least not my definition of a Republican.

I remember years ago hearing a former R congressman from Cali.  He lost reelection under some strange circumstances.  In an interview years later he regretted not challenging the results to the bitter end.  Even if Trump ultimately loses, I think it is a good thing for him to push this as far as he can.

Bob Dornan?  He lost to former Republican-turned-Democrat Loretta Sanchez by 979 votes.  He claimed that Sanchez's winning margin was provided by illegal voting from non-citizens.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

That is him.  Does no good to make claims if you give up on the enforcement.

I kind of remember they did a survey and found out well over 1000 illegal aliens actually cast ballots in that election, but since he couldn't prove the illegals actually voted for his opponent, the results were allowed to stand.

Or at least I remember a story alleging that at the time . . . can't swear to the actual court decision.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

RINO's are lacking loyalty.

They are not loyal to the country.

They are not loyal to any principles.

They are not loyal to each other, as leftists they will cannibalize each other to survive.

Rino = controlled opposition

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
