It seems only fair that if one is going to call moderate Republicans RINOs, then one ought to be willing to call those Tea Party and strict social conservative types as members of the extreme fringe. Just to be clear, lawyers or not, I would imagine that most mainstream party operatives are interested most in gaining and retaining political power. Which, to me, means moving as near to the center as possible without losing the core principles that define the parties.

That’s why I see the Tea Partiers to be as niave as the whackier elements that used to hold more sway over the Democrats. Regardless of his party’s name, I am sure that Sheheen is a reasonable centrist. That’s a much more supportable outlook than that which I hear trumpeted from the far right.

Believe that the far right can win by alienating the “RINOs”- but be prepared to find that the center continues to hold after the general elections. At least, that’s my view of November.

To those with the skills to observe reality, only the name on this sticker is news. What will be news is after the elections when the more astute tea partiers suddenly realize the profession behind most of the rain on tea party parades.

The legal profession’s network, or the “Lawyer-Political Complex”, has hidden tentacles permeating the highest levels of every important economic activity, including our defense establishment and government.

Due to undeclared conflicts of duty, particularly between the three supposedly separated branches of our federal government, this obscene network threatens to subvert our country one piece at a time.

Attached is my sticker.  Scarily similar to your blog post, but on the other side of my gas guzzler.  I am more anti – Nikki than I am pro Vince, but I fully support Vince.  I’ve requested a Repub for Sheheen yard sign, but have been told they haven’t been printed.  I don’t want my neighbors thinking I am a lefty wacko, therefore don’t want a regular sign.

Which caused me to respond that maybe I should have some “UnPartisans for Sheheen” signs printed up. The reader wrote back:

I’m down with that – I’m increasingly less “republican” or “anything” for that matter -  each day.

Here is the benefit I see to the “Repub for Sheheen” stickers:  In my unintelligent way of thinking – there are a slew of voters that won’t educate themselves about the candidates, and go to the polls as robots and vote for the party candidate.  In fact, many of those people might even think that pressing the button for a Democrat could affect their eternal salvation.

What I hope these stickers show those people is – it’s okay to vote the other “side” – and in fact – alot of “us” are doing it.

I’d also support an “Anyone but Haley” yard sign if you are feeling froggy.
