GOP unity against the Democrat Borg is an absolute must. We should judge a “RINO” not quickly in absolute terms, but with careful deliberation, in relationship to how liberal of a state or district he emerges from. Are we really going to criticize an R from West VA for less than perfect rightness as demandingly as we would an R from Texas? In realistic terms, Scott Brown was as valuable an asset to the Right in a MA as Mike Lee is in Utah.
Brown and Lee were both as far to the right of their States’ centers-of-political-mass as they could be and still win, although it appears Brown is going to lose to the dingbat Democrat in NH, and that is not helpful to the right. “Good gracious even Brown was too far right for NH” - is how we should look at it. When judging “RINOs” do we not think that there are Liberal voters in camps around this country who are susceptible to Dem propaganda? We must also be aware of gratuitous drama by self-interested conservative echo-chamber groups and talk radio queens who foment civil war on the right which enables leftists when the dust settles.
May God help us as a people and those of us that are His .. give us wisdom to make wise decisions and strength to carry them through ... in Jesus' name
Amen
