[Hoot Gibson]

^No offense intended here Hoot. I'm certainly no RINO fan either. However, though I can offer no defense for the chinless McConnell, he and the rest of the RINO's are still a better option on the spiritual plane. I despise his bent for undercutting and judging folks like Cruz but, as long as he continues to vote against abortion rights, the gay agenda and represents no threat to become just another Obama rubber stamp as Lundergan would surely be, I'm not about to let my vote lay on the sidelines.

Something always rushes in to fill a vacuum. I'd rather roll the dice and hope a better candidate comes to the fore the next time, than to see another brainless liberal gain a seat in the Senate.

As long as Republicans are the minority party in the U.S. Senate, then McConnell's vote on anything does not matter unless it is cast to block votes on Democratic bills on the floor. What he did to Cruz and the other true conservatives in the House and Senate was to ensure that Obamacare continues damaging this country's economy. I have never seen two worse negotiators than Boehner and McConnell. They are so bad, I suspect that they are fully on board with the Obama agenda. Why that would be, I have not a clue, but surely these men cannot be as stupid as they so often seem.

Do you realize that in supporting Obamacare with his vote, he was supporting government funding for abortion? McConnell is a deal maker who runs as a conservative and then governs according polls and focus groups.

You can tell yourself that McConnell is standing up for the principles in which you believe, but all he does is pay lip service to those principles to get your vote.

I don't mean to sound like I am lecturing you, TRT, because for years I have voted for Republicans as the lesser of two evils, just as you and Harry are advocating. I am just sharing my reasons for abandoning that strategy. Guys like McConnell have done enough damage to the GOP. If the GOP will not clean its own house, then I intend to help do it for them.
