Normally, I’d keep this to my Nevada blog, but this is just too much – and too illustrative of the sort of nonsense we’re going to have to battle against in our Republican party:
Republican presidential adviser Sig Rogich said in an interview televised today that he is supporting the re-election of U.S. Sen. Harry Reid because replacing the most powerful member of Congress while the state is in the worst recession in memory is a bad idea…
…Rogich, a long-time Republican operative and George H.W. Bush adviser, is co-chairman of the “Republicans for Reid” campaign.
Replacing Reid, “is just wrong, it’s just not the smart thing to do,” he said.
“We’re in protracted water negotiations with Arizona, with (Sen.) John McCain at the table, Utah, with (Sen.) Orrin Hatch, (Sen.) Dianne Feinstein representing California, and Colorado,” Rogich said. “Who would you like to have at the table? A junior senator or a newly elected senator…”
This is RINOism at its worst – he’s selling out the people of Nevada and the United States because Reid is better positioned to keep the pork flowing. That’s it – its what RINOs want…just a piece of the Democrat action. As long as Harry lets some of the swag head towards the likes of Rogich and his friends, its all good.
Those who tell us to compromise are telling us to give up our views and get with the program. Not for them is the clarion call of America’s Founders – nor the courage which preserved this nation through perilous times.
I’ve got some news for the RINOs: We don’t want to be part of a program which takes the sublime ideals of the Declaration of Independence and mixes them with the diseased imaginings of warmed-over Marxism…the sterling qualities of George Washington do not mix well with the junior-league Leninists running the Democrat party.
Half a loaf is, often, better than none – but I won’t have our loaf mixed with refuse from the liberal sewer.
