The true RINOs are in bed with the leftists every bit as much as the liberal Democrats. They're just less overt about it.
I would agree that now is not a very good time to kick out the RINOs, but the RINOs will do all they can to ensure that there will never be a better time.
This country survived eight years with Clinton as President. For two of those years, the Democrats held the House and Senate. Despite that, the Republic survived.
For a variety of reasons, it's often easier for a minority party to hold together than a majority one. In a minority party, nearly all of the politicians will try to be on the good side of party leadership in the hope that, should their party regain the majority, its leadership will offer them a nice piece of the spoils. By contrast, in a majority party, some politicians will realize that they aren't getting, and won't get, as much from their leadership as they want, and will thus feel less incentive to submit to leadership pressure.
Liberals couldn't pass Hillarycare in 1993. The only way it could possibly get passed today is if RINOs push it through.
To be sure, there are many bad things Democrats could and would do if they regained power, but they're not nearly so dire as RINO supporters would have one believe. I do not doubt that a Democrat president taking power in 2009 would pull us out of the Middle East in reckless fashion, but I would expect Bush to have done a good enough job stabilizing things before then that things might hold despite the Democrats' efforts to sabotage them.
I think I understand your perspective pretty well.
I wouldn't doubt that a lot of RINO's are as complicit with the NWO folks as a lot of DIMRATS.
I still say, we canNOT afford the DIMRATS GAINING ANY MORE POWER AT THIS CRUCIAL TIME.
It sounds to me like, you don't perceive the many slippery slopes and banana peels I think our Republic is on at this time.
Things are leaking out about high ranking officials just trying to hold things together with bubble gum, duct tape and bailing wire until 2012--when something horrendous is slated that evidently will make a lot of things moot.
I any kind of super crisis or even just more of the very serious crises we have now--it would be HELLISH for the DIMRATS to be in power. It's bad enough without them overtly in power.
imho.
Thanks for your reasoned reply.
