"With that said, there has to be some way to weed out the Rinos without killing the entire party at the same go. Any ideas?"

Sure -- keep electing Republicans so we have a supermajority and the loss of a couple of seats won't put the entire House or Senate in the hands of the Dems, then pick out the RINOs one at a time and try replacing them with conservatives.
But to throw the entire Congress to the Dems is just plain anti-American, because the Dems WILL destroy the country.
The daily hysteria surrounding the immigration issue, and the constant barrage of gloom coming from all of the conservative leaders, media, and (sad to say) much of the grassroots, has combined to drown out the real story that needs to be told to the American people.
What gets me the most crazy is that we are complicit in this. We love to bemoan the slant of the MSM, but with our near constant Bush bashing on immigration, we are making their jobs so much easier. Really, sometimes I wonder if a bunch of DUmmies have invaded FR posing as p*ssed off conservatives. Why are we letting a single issue derail the numerous reasons that we have to be proud of what this administration HAS accomplished.
I've been a long time lurker (see the screen name) and never really thought about posting replies until the last couple of months. This was the site that I came to to get a laugh, some support for my own ideas, and feel the comraderie of some like-minded individuals who understood the need for liberty and personal responsibility. Especially during the 2000 election aftermath, and after 9-11, FR was a haven from the MSM where a conservative could read some news and analysis and get the spirit buoyed up. Now, however, I cringe whenever I see an illegal immigration post. I can almost see the posts that will appear, and the dissention that accompanies it.
Get over it, people! I am totally against illegal immigration, and amnesty, and the cultural/social costs of it stagger me, but I REFUSE to let that one issue rule my thinking and actions. Without this President (who has not said anything other than what he says now about this topic) we would not have:
* The War on Islamofacism
* A signifigant tax cut
* A booming economy
* Pride in our Armed Forces
* Integrity in the White House
* A start on curbing the power of the Judiciary
* A true friend of the Culture of Life
* A CIC who does not govern via polling data
and a host of other things that we said (say) we wanted prior to this administration.
I think that everyone here would agree that the Dims running Washington would be a disaster, and we are the ones who can prevent that from happening, just as we can keep her Thighness from EVER holding the keys to the executive branch. So let's agree to disagree, but hopefully not lose sight of the bigger goal which is the greatness of this nation.
