Replacing Hagel (and several other RINOs) with a real Republican would be very good news.
Some RINOS are ok, because they are to be expected.
I do not expect Rhode Island, or Maine to elect Conservative Republicans. That's why I can stomach Chafee, Collins and Snowe.
Now, states like Arizona and Nebraska are Conservative states, so jerks like Hagel and McCain are intolerable.
Specter is intolerable as well, as Penn has shown it can and does elect Conservatives to statewide office.
Forget the party names. Replace them with conservatives. Rock ribbed, hard core, American first conservatives.
very true, but to do that we need to dilute the power of the RINO.
Bill Nelson in FL replaced by a conservative republican (vote for FMA, pro-2nd amendment) would be a good start.
Basically RINO's are creatures of wind and whim not conviction, they will not do a jumping jim jeffords because EVERYONE knows whatever he recieved was not worth it. Enough real republicans would have no problem pushing them around as needed.
