Oh yes they are. We put up with mealy mouth Republicans far too long and look what we got for it.
We can stand up to a liberal like Rudy and his cohorts. Problem you folks have is you can only bully the people who have been the strength of this party.
Your RINO buddies sell out to the RATs and have become no better than RATs. You people have a fixation on the DU and don't care about your own.
Just what did you get for it?

Bully? You are saying you have been bullied? I would say that calling someone a treasonous cretin for looking favorably at a Republican candidate for president is bullying. Wouldn't you? I would say that heaping every conceivable insult on those who do not share the far right agenda is bullying. I would say those who threaten them with expulsion constantly is bullying. Wouldn't you?
I understand your desperation, knowing that the social agenda will no longer be the in the mainstream of the Party, but it is not gone, nor should it be. Almost all Republicans are against abortion to varying degrees. But almost all Republicans understand what is at stake in one of America's greatest challenges since the Civil War. Republicans understand that the social agenda is a small part of conservatism, and above all, they recognize that the Party is the one best hope for the continuation of conservatism. They want all Republicans to come together after the primaries and concentrate on the defeat of Hillary Clinton. And I know that most will.

The only RINOs I know are those who say that if their 1% candidate does not win the nomination, thereby dooming our Party in 2008, that they will leave the Party and sit it out or vote 3d Party. Those are the Republicans in name only. They are not the conservatives who will do everything they can to defeat the Democrats next year. They are the ones who know that the top 3 candidates currently have about 70% of the support of the Republican Party, and that all 3 are continually being trashed by their own, who call themselves conservatives.
Not sure what you mean by a fixation on DU, but its safe to say that quite a number of folks here can put DU to shame with their vitriol, refusal to discuss issues, and threats to anyone they feel like targeting.
As for not caring about my own, my own are conservative Republicans like myself, who understand what is at stake, and will do everything to win next year. They are the Republicans who understand what it will take to bring together our Party with conservative Democrats and independents; who are not afraid of negotiation and compromise just as with Ronald Reagan. I care very much about them. They are my own.
This Party has a place for everyone interested in conservative government, the far right, the moderates and the center-right. This Party has a place for minorities of all kind who believe in conservative government.
I truly hope you folks can once again come into the mainstream of the Party, push the candidate of your choice, and in the end help propel our Party to victory.
