I have concluded after many years of observation that indeed, you have it backward. RINOs are a bigger threat to the nation than the Democrat party because unlike Democrats, RINOs can destroy from within the future hope and growth of the Republican party -- and that would be deadly because a small-government Republican party IS THE ONLY CHANCE WE HAVE of combatting and defeating the liberalism that makes the Democrat party so dangerous.
Again, LIBERALISM is the real enemy here -- not the Democrat party. LIBERALISM within the Republican party is a bigger long-term threat to our nation than liberalism in the Democrat party.
For the last time, you cannot advance and ideology without a party. I would use charts and graphs but this is simple. In this case, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Just look at history and that tells you that a party must be behind the ideology.
Liberalism = Democrat Party.
