You're correct in what you say, but we also face an ideological wall within the party. Do you share philosophical common ground with Lincoln Chaffey or Olympia Snowe? RINOs should be exposed as such. Even a slim majority can be used effectively if that majority is truly a majority. With the RINOs in the Senate, our majority is a misnomer.
No, but a national majority party is always going to have two 'wings' to it.
The Democrats are now the minority party because they destroyed their 'conservative' wing by forcing it to vote for Clinton tax raises and gun control.
The best way to handle RINO's is to make them irrevelant in the Party by having an overwhelming majority of solid conservatives.
Yet, the reality of national politics is that some regions of the nation are more liberal then others and will only elect RINO'S.
A RINO is therefore better then a Democrat in that same seat if that RINO is only needed to maintain our majority and is not consulted for policy decisions.
On a good day we have maybe 46 Senators when not counting the obvious RINO's.
The House Republicans have passed zillions of bills that stagnate in the Senate because Daschle now requires 61 votes on every bill. It has become impossible.
If people listen to jerks like you and the puke who wrote this article and they don't support the Republicans, it will only be worse. Why not attack the real problem...DASCHLE AND THE DEMOCRATS!!!
