BTW, I wasn't talking about making the specific candidates "more pure" once they got in there. My point is, let's get the conservatives in there, RINO or not, and once the liberals are out of power and we have the incumbency, than we can worry about replacing the RINO's with more conservative candidates. But until we get a foothold, we ain't getting s**t.
I'm not advocating the election of Democrats. That may well be your interpretation of what I stated, but it is not.
If the political will is there to NOT vote for squishy, liberal Republicans, and the GOP is shown that your vote is not a "given", then (and only then) can you exert the type of influence you seek.
Electing liberal Republicans is no better than electing liberal Democrats. If you think differently, then you're part of the problem and not the solution.
