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.

My math skills may not be good enough to qualify me to teach at MIT or CalTech, but I can count reasonably well without taking off my shoes.

Re-read my #22 post. Notice that I didn't limit all RINOs to that list in the article. It's 55-45 in the Senate now, and there are more than 6 RINO Senators. IMO McCain, Voinivich, Dewine, and Hagel can be added to the four that are listed, which would make it eight in all. The same thing is true of the house. I count 202 Dems and 231 Repubs plus 1 non-party and one vacant seat. It would only take a shift of 15 seats to change control of the House, actually only 14 since the old socialist from VT would vote for Democrat control. There are certainly more than 14 RINOs in the House, and if they were replaced by Democrats, they would have the majority and Pelosi would be speaker.

If you think things aren't going too well for Bush and the WOT now, think what it would be like if far-left Democrats (are there any other kind?) chaired all the House and Senate committees with Reid and Pelosi setting the agenda for Congressional actions. I don't like RINOs either, but we're better off with them than with Democrats in their place.
