It is not the ideas that the RINOs hold that is the problem, it is their courage level.

With the Exception of Senator John McCain, a RINO,  I agree and Lindsey Graham is the personification of a RINO…..A complete coward. (Jim Campbell)

There is a book called Emotion: A Psychoevolutionary Synthesis by Robert Plutchik. It posits eight basic emotionsthat come in opposite pairs: joy-grief, anticipation-surprise, acceptance-disgust, fear-anger.The RINO’s are high on fear. That is, they are simply afraid of any pushback for anything they do. Therefore, they compromise on everything. They are not fighters. Also, what they desire in life is acceptance. They want to be liked. When a group objects to what they do, they simply back down. They cannot force their ideas on anyone.

Poll: By 52% to 37% Margin GOP South Carolina Voters Prefer a More Conservative Candidate Than Lindsey Graham…

H/T/ Weiselzappers

(PPP)– Yesterday we put out a poll on Lindsey Graham’s standing with the entire South Carolina electorate. Today we narrow it down to those describing themselves as regular Republican primary voters.

52% of them say that given the choice they’d pick a more conservative challenger in the 2014 GOP primary, compared to only 37% who say they’d support Graham under that scenario.

RINO hunters, mount up.

It’s a pretty simple calculus- Graham leads 47-40 on that question with Republicans who say they don’t consider themselves to be members of the Tea Party but he trails 76-18 with folks who identify with that movement.
