Well, I believe one objective of the RLC is to recruit, train, support and elect Liberty-minded conservatives to office on the Republican Party ticket where there is party name recognition and numbers to actually get them elected.

I agree. My point is that CINO is a more apt description of those we hang the RINO label on. And that once we get that sorted out, libertarians and conservatives have more common ground than either of us do with the parties of big government. Republicans have a lot more to learn from libertarians than they think. And a move in that direction will pick up disenchanted conservatives.

Hot damn! A very elegant solution to the problem you and I have been fussing at for years. As long as the system doesn't co-opt them from the inside, and we can keep the RNC from screwing them over (no funding, no support, etc...) this should work. All it will take is hard work on the part of real conservatives/liberty-minded individuals to hold the RNC party hacks' feet to the fire....
