I pretty much agree but I don't have any illusions that this accomplished a lot. Like I told Sean, it could be a preliminary step for later, but I think it was just playing to Graham's own base."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I do get that as the political reality. I still think it's worth aggressively pushing back against the idea that fighting for life makes one a RINO or should not be done (OP and I have gone back and forth on this after he acknowledged in another thread that he's not particularly concerned about the issue of abortion). If it does make one a RINO, own the label as far as I'm concerned.
And I didn't say Graham is a RINO because he's pro-abortion. I meant he's known by some on the right as a RINO for other reasons. My point was that if my belief is correct that he's intentionally trying to sabotage the midterms, there has to be some reason why.
One reason may be that, since he's a RINO, he doesn't want the slew of anti-establishment populist Republicans to win any seats. He likes convention and wants to keep the establishment order in tact, even if it means keeping establishment Dems in those seats. Another reason could be that since he's openly admitted that he "admires" Biden because they're both pro-establishment cohorts (even though they pretend to politically oppose each other), it's possible he wouldn't want Reps to take control and launch their investigations into Biden's corrupt affairs because he admires his establishment buddy so much.

And be careful of listening to anyone who thinks its always one or the other. Both can sabotage the ultimate goal."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
