Keep voting out the Democrats and after we get a solid majority start on the Rhinos.
This would reward the fecklessness and appeasement of the RINOs in the meantime. What constitutes a "solid majority?" A filibuster-proof Senate?
Republican proponents of larger government are a second front in the battle we face. Creating a new prescription drug entitlement on the eve of the retirement of the babyboomers could very well be politically lethal to those of us "working to roll back decades of governmental largesse."
I don't see how we can afford to focus exclusively on Democrats while ignoring the threat from within.

Solid majority means we can lose a few without turning control over to the other side. Who's to say what that number is? Certainly not me. However, I don't see any reason to take any big chances at this particular point in time. Even though we have the majority, the margins are still way too slim to take big risks. We can't afford to lose any races now. We have the majority, we have the confidence of the populace, we have the momentum and we need to keep it rolling. In other words, keep your eye on the long-term goals and don't get so upset about the short-term setbacks. We're not going to win every battle, but we must win the war.

By the way, I'm not rewarding anyone. Just stating the facts and facing political reality. There is not one single democrat officeholder or candidate fit for office and I want to keep as many as possible out. The only way to do that is to vote them out!
