Other than perhaps Specter, none of the RINOs on that list would be in Congress or a governor's mansion if they were real Republicans. They are all elected from liberal states which will not elect a conservative Republican. OTOH, McCain has no excuse for his RINO status. AZ would probably elect him by an even larger margin if he was a real Republican.

The only consolation I can take from the RINO situation is this. If they were replaced by Democrats, which is the only other real option, Dingy Harry and Nancy Pelosi would control Congress and Bush wouldn't be able to prosecute the WOT, cut taxes, or do anything else that requires Congressional approval.

Exactly! We would have RATs if not for these people.

I think you need to brush up on your math skills. If all of the persons on that list were Democrats, Republicans would still be in control. Most of them vote with the Democrats much of the time anyway, so your argument is weak. Plus, you must factor in just how effective they are at weakening our own party. If you vote like a Democrat, you might as well be one.
