Michael Totten tells me:
“Fred Beloit: ‘RINOs, be gone with you.’”
“Ask the liberals how well that attitude works for them. They have turned me into a RINO in name only. (Yes, I do mean to say I’m a Republican in Name Only in name only.)
Two degrees of separation? I’m afraid I’m not hip enough to derive any meaning from this statement. But THIS statement I think I may understand: “If you can’t deal with the likes of me, you can enjoy a Democratic president instead.” He means how he votes will determine who the next president is so I had better stay on his good side. No, he can’t be that arrogant. Perhaps he means people like him will only vote for liberal Republicans even though there are Democrat alternatives? No, that makes no sense.
Let’s try this shall we? (1) Do you, Michael, want activist judges appointed to Federal courts and the Supreme Court? (2) Do you want higher taxes that will stifle economic growth? (3) Do you want to continue the ponzi scheme of the nanny state? (4) Do you want the government to ignore the constitutional recognition of our natural right to defend ourselves with firearms? (5) Do you want to see Israel sold down the river for “peace in our time”?
If you have answered yes to all or most of these questions, why wouldn’t you just vote for a Democratic? Why vote for a Republican liberal-lite? Winning means nothing if the winner is merely a self-disguised loser.
By the way I respect your journalistic accomplishments very much.
