- How your vote in May counts the most
- How RINOs are turning Idaho blue
- List of May primary candidates for state and Magic Valley races
Okay. That said, here’s why your vote in the May primary determines whether Idaho remains red or turns blue. This is not an overstatement.
Most voters don’t realize that when they go to the polls in November their Party’s candidates were decided for them in the May primary election. Yep. Our website has a page devoted to this problem. Click here to read.
Right now there are many liberty-minded conservative Republicans running against establishment Republicans – what I call RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). Hence the cartoon.
Sadly, too many voters don’t bother to look past the ‘R’ to review their legislator’s voting record. I urge you to do that right now by going to Idaho Freedom Foundation’s Freedom Index, and American Conservative Union scorecards. It’s going to shock you.
Below is the 2021 Freedom Index of Magic Valley area legislators.
Now you know. Magic Valley Republican legislators are die-hard RINOs. They earned their low scores because they simply don’t abide by the Republican Party’s Platform. If they did, this article would not be necessary, and Idaho would not be in so much trouble. That’s why so many liberty-minded Republicans are running for office.
Here’s how RINOs are turning Idaho blue – right under voters’ noses
- RINOs vote like Democrats, as the Freedom Index and American Comservative Union scorecards reveal.
- RINO legislators rule the Magic Valley. They have for years. See maps below.
- RINOs get away with it because too many voters don’t research their legislator’s voting records.
- RINOs receive lots of campaign contributions from Idaho Prosperity Fund, the woke-friendly corporate funding apparatus of the Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry (IACI) in Boise.
- RINOs are the foot soldiers for the IACI corporate globalist agenda. Many of IACI’s corporate donors are ideologically in league with the World Economic Fund’s Great Reset and Agenda 2030. IACI elitists are betting on a Little/Bedke ticket for Governor and Lt. Governor in November. If elected, my sense is that they will carry out IACI’s mission to make Idaho blue. If successful, there will be no returning Idaho back to the people. IACI will be running the show.
- It’s well worth your while to read the MVLA article, ‘How IACI is Turning Idaho Blue’ to see just how much influence IACI corporate money has over RINOs. They are the globalist tail wagging RINO lap dogs.
- RINOs are globalists.
The primary is when YOUR vote counts the most
If you think your vote in the primary doesn’t matter, think again!
- The primary gives people the ability to decide who the best candidate is.
- The primary provides a statewide stage for the free and open exchange of all ideas and opinions — the foundation of our American form of a participatory constitutional Republic.
- The primary provides an important avenue through which Americans can take part in the process of choosing their own leaders.
- The primary plays a key role in shaping the final platforms of the major candidates in the November election. Let’s say a weaker candidate drops out of the race during the final weeks of the primaries. If that candidate succeeded in winning a substantial number of votes during the primaries, there is a very good chance that some aspects of his or her platform will be adopted by the party’s chosen candidate.

It would be nice if you expanded this information out to other Idaho Counties. This is an extremely important race to fill these offices. Idaho needs the right representives to maintain Idaho values and preserve our Constitutional rights. If we are going to keep her red all of Idaho’s Conservative Republicans need to get on board.
