Who is wit me! The He Man RINO Haters Club
From The Sundries Shack
Let’s Hunt Us Some RINOs! And John Boehner, too.
Sphere: Related ContentIf this were a world where Republicans had the courage of their convictions, Pat Toomey would be a Senator from Pennsylvania. Instead, he is the President of the Club for Growth, a conservative think-tank and advocacy group. The Club for Growth has run afoul of the Republican political machine in recent years for not holding the welfare of the party above the promotion of sound conservative principles. Today, Toomey has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal defending “RINO_hunting”, a sport that more conservatives should take up. Here’s his conclusion.
A Republican majority is only as useful as the policies that majority produces. When those policies look a lot like Democratic ones, the base rightly questions why it should keep Republicans in power. As the party gears up for elections in the fall, it ought to look closely at the losses suffered under a political strategy devoid of principle. Otherwise, it can look forward to a bad case of déjà vu.
It is, I think, impossible to look at the last four elections and come to any other conclusion. The Republican party would be wise to listen to Mr. Toomey. Michelle Malkin has a great suggestion:
Club for Growth should print that paragraph on greeting cards so we can send an avalanche of them to the GOP elite in Washington.

Well, there you go.
They’re only useful as long as they do useful things.
We should only keep them balancing out the other side - as long as they keep balancing out the other side.
We don’t really expect a lot of heavy-lifting from these guys - even done correctly, this job isn’t exactly ‘loading trucks’.
If they’re not up to it, then they need to go.
