RINO vs. DINO: Party still matters

Even though it is infuriating when RINOs (Republicans in name only) cast crucial votes against the party’s (and nation’s) interests, as was the case of the handful of Republicans who gave President Obama’s cap-and-trade bill the margin it needed in the House, we must realize that those “traitors” are still more useful to us than a Democrat replacement, even a conservative DINO (Democrat in name only).

Carnahan is Obama’s top House rubberstamp

According to a new study by the non-partisan Congressional Quarterly, the congressman who supported President Obama’s position most in the nation in the first half of this year was metro-south Democrat Russ Carnahan, with a 100% presidential support rating. If Democrat Robin Carnahan wishes to appear more independent in her 2010 quest for the U.S. Senate, she will have to disassociate herself from her own brother’s voting record.
