Here's why we don't trust the RINOs by Mark Levin www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2015/10/mark-levin-oct-26
LISTEN: Levin Explains Why Conservatives Don’t Trust the GOP Establishment
On Monday night, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin explained why conservatives don’t trust the GOP establishment to keep their promises.
Take a listen:

Rep. Paul Ryan and GOP leadership promised they can repeal Obamacare with a process called budget reconciliation, yet the bill the House voted on last Friday leaves the core of Obamacare in place. Recent comments by Mitt Romney, the establishment pick in 2012, suggest that the former Governor of Massachusetts agrees with the central liberal premise of the ACA: that government health insurance is good because it expands coverage for the uninsured (by penalizing individuals without health insurance).
Can conservatives be sure President Romney would have signed a repeal bill? Would Congress have even sent him one?
As Levin pointed out, if Republicans want conservatives’ trust and votes, they’ll need to earn them. That starts with using budget reconciliation to fully repeal Obamacare like the GOP promised.
“But it’s meaningless because the President will veto it!” object the RINOs. No it’s not a meaningless or futile effort. It’s a signal that the GOP is serious about keeping its word. And that’s what will enable them to win.
Obamacare has been an unmitigated disaster. Send a repeal bill to the President’s desk. Let President Obama veto it and demonstrate to the American people that the Democrats care more for government control over the healthcare industry than they do for their wellbeing. Campaign on that and win the White House in 2016, maintaining GOP majorities in Congress on a platform of promises kept.
Conservatives are done blindly listening to the GOP and holding their noses on Election Day.
Will Speaker Paul Ryan make good on his promises? Will the GOP send a repeal bill to the President? To a Republican president?
Or will Republicans continue to surrender before fighting?
Should they give up now, they’ll wallow in defeat come 2016.
