With all due respect, what do you mean? Are you claiming the RINOs are just different kinds of conservatives? The Republican Party needs to accept people with different views, of course, but it still has to stand for something. I think the "extreme right wing" would be more willing to compromise if the Republican leadership gave us a bit more than lip service. Show me action, not talk! Let's see them reduce and/or restrain the federal beast in some tangible way, and then we can come together.
All I was suggesting is that it's a tough thing to build consensus. Consensus doesn't obviate dissent or the right thereto.
