"I will hold my nose no more. I refuse to be taken advantage by NJ's country club RINO republicans."
This is a perfect example of how to deal with RINOs. Vote for a better candidate in the primary! If your "better" candidate wins, you won't have to hold your nose to vote for a Republican.
Even if your "better" candidate doesn't win, but makes a strong showing, it can provide leverage to make your Senator into "better" Senator when (if) he gets reelected.

That's a little naive when dealing with NJ. The liberal Republicans in NJ have shown time and again that they will actively work against a conservative Republican candidate. Witness the shameful display in 2001 where they publicly supported Jim "gay American" McSleezey over Bret Schundler--an excellent conservative.
In the battle for control of the NJ GOP, I will not give my vote to any liberal Republican. If they win, they'll just use their position to chase even more conservatives out of the party.
In the short term, electing a RINO might look attractive. In the long run, however, electing RINOs will end up forcing most conservatives out of the GOP--and truly leave us out in the wilderness.
