RINOS: The fewer, the merrier

| January 31, 2014 8:00 PM

Let’s weed out the RINOs, pick your favorite patriot candidate. You know, the one that will fight for conservative principles, limited government, fiscal responsibility and putting America first. If you can’t make up your mind, consider these:

Chris Christie playing mobster politics in the New Jersey governor’s race; Peter King saying that “the NSA’s spying is highly constitutional;” Paul Ryan throwing our veterans under the bus in his massive budget compromise with leftist Patty Murray; and Mike Huckabee literally calling to ban the term RINO because it is used too often to criticize him. There are just too many RINOs in the limelight for the Republican Party and many more that I haven’t mentioned.

We should be considering the following group of men: Rand Paul leading a massive popular filibuster and rapidly growing class-action suit against the tyrannical NSA; Ted Cruz leading a similarly popular filibuster against Obamacare and offering numerous amendments to defund this disastrous law; Marco Rubio stepping up with his Obamacare bailout prevention act to insure that taxpayers aren’t forced to bail out insurance companies; and Dr. Ben Carson taking issue with Obamacare health policies from the perspective of a conservative neurosurgeon. These men are trying to save this country from the socialist regime that prevails in the nation’s capital and is being orchestrated by President Obama.
