"and even if that opponent loses, then run as a third party"

Warner did that trick to keep Oliver North out of the Senate. Bad as these RINO's are I rather have them then a genuine RAT in thier place. That's why we should just stick with the primaries, you don't win a war by shooting the goof offs on your side, or worse yet , by yielding territory to the enemy, but if you can replace the goof offs with real fighters ,good.

Nate-

Sorry, can't come with you here. Respectful philosophical difference. You know the Dem is your enemy; the RINO is a potential traitor in your midst. For example, this moderate coalition, and the attendant Agreement crafted and executed, effectively reaches far beyond the current judicial nominations.

That is, there exist maybe 5 or 6 red state Dems who, I believe, are up in 2006. The Agreement just gave these Dems a pass on a wedge issue. Hypothetically, a GOP candidate opposing these Red Staters could have argued that only by the actions of these DEMS, judicial activism remains and conservative justices are kept from the bench. S/he could have labelled the DEM as an obstructionist.

The RINO's just robbed the GOP of those arguments. IMO, better to draw a line of demarcation, and more to the point, let all know they better stay on our side of the line when a transcendent principle is at issue.
