Conservative Review recently compiled their list of the top 25 conservatives.  Among those listed, you’ll see many names you’ll recognize as champions of conservative principles–the values the Republican Party claims on paper to believe in. The people on this list are the ones we can count on to behave like Republicans.  The sad part is that they are so few in number…and sadder still that many if not most rank and file “Republicans” these days won’t back them when they fight for us.

Here is the Conservative Review list of the top 25 RINOs. Like the list of conservatives, you’ll see many liberal sellouts that you would expect to see on a list like this: betrayers of conservative values like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell and more.

A couple of RINOs that didn’t make the list (but should have) are from my state–and one is very surprising, given that he’s the #3 “Republican” in the U.S. Senate. There’s South Dakota’s junior RINO senator Mike Rounds–the “South Dakota conservative values” RINO who scored a whopping 29% Liberty Score. Yeah, this is the guy that conservative and Christian organizations across South Dakota and the nation whored out their values to support in 2014.

Then there’s John Thune–a guy who started out with a lot of promise back in 2004 when he defeated Democrat Tom Daschle…only to end up with a 44% Liberty Score today. That’s a truly pathetic score for the #3 “Republican” in the U.S. Senate–a position which should demand the HIGHEST fealty to Republican principles, so that the position-holder is setting the example for other Republicans to follow.

Instead of setting the example of Republican values for others to follow, these RINOs (some of the most influential “Republicans” out there) are setting an example of supporting Democrat values.

This is why fewer and fewer people take the Republican Party seriously every year. And it’s why this once-great nation appears to be on an irrevocable dive toward oblivion and destruction.
