Christa Hazel: I am so disappointed the local GOP would divide itself over standing up for Phil Hart. Duane is doing the right thing. Quite frankly, there is very little the local GOP is doing to “attract” anyone to join them. In fact, they do just the opposite — they seem to be relishing the idea that they are thinning the herd for not being conservative enough. I never thought I would see the day when someone like Duane would referreed to as a RINO but it has happened. When the GOP's candidate is a tax cheating, timber theiving Constitutionalist who refuses to even pay into the system he steals from — than good riddance. The local GOP looks like idiots for trying to force the issue. Good for Duane.

Question: Do you consider Duane Rasmussen to be a RINO (Republican In Name Only)?
