So, why can't we force out the "closet socialists" in the GOP? I guess that's because they aren't in the closet anymore.....like Tom "No Fat to Cut" DeLay.

They don't need to be forced out, they need to be managed and outvoted in caucus/primaries.

Were it not for the socialist GOPs, Alito would have not been voted out of committee and would not have had enough votes in the Senate - it was strictly a party-line vote.
