The GOP hasn't been ruined by RINOS, the party needs to have a broad spectrum of beliefs to survive with a 2 major party system. It's ruined by single-issue voters who won't support someone who isn't totally in agreement with them on guns, gays, abortion or immigration.

You win the thread. :)

So, just caving in to the liberals is your idea of winning?

There is no "broad spectrum of beliefs" in rolling over for the other side.

BINGO!!!! We need to unite with the RINOS not abandon them. To blame the RINOS for our problems is ridiculous! The problem is with the "Holier than thou" Republicans who didn't live up to their promises and became more corrupt than the Democrats. They turned the Moderates and Independents off of voting for them. Alienate a voter block and you lose - simple as that.
