“....if we get rid of the RINOs, the Dems would have 65 Senators that ALWAYS vote how Obama wants them to (i.e., never having to worry about filibusters) - rather than the 58 they have now. Sounds like a good deal. LOL.”
We would have single-payer healthcare, cap-and-trade, open borders, etc. but at least those 35 remaining Republicans would be PURE!!

Exactly, what’s more important - stopping the programs you mention above, or maintaining party purity? Party purity, of course.
Now, don’t we all feel better - DON’T WE?
NO, they wouldn't as there is no such thing as a PURE Republican. We are human and it is impossible for every one to always agree and if we get so ticked off each time we disagree with an otherwise very good lawmaker, we're always going to be in turmoil.
Congressman Steve King is one of the finest lawmakers in congress and no kidding, we have a purist radio talk show host here in Iowa who at one time was calling for someone to primary King because King was asking the Iowa legislature to pass legislation requiring a residency requirement in order to get a marriage license. It was King's way to stop gay marriage from spreading to other states.
But to this nutcase radio talk show host, by King doing this, he was surrendering to the fact there was such a thing as gay marriage. Fortunately, King again showed he plays chess while others play checkers.
But this shows the unrealistic expectations of people. We must deal in reality and the reality is we're better off with RINOs than RATS.
