Nothig this author claims is any worse thant actually having a RINO in office.

Medmed makes the conservative point. Here’s how: It was the RINOS, not the conservatives, who changed parties and thus destoyed the control of the legislative body. Yet we are to be accepting of them without criticism?

The point is not that they are to leave the party, it is that they should be lead by true conservatives. Why must only the liberal Republicans have the right to say waht they want, and only the conservatives are expected to compromise?

The principals in the Republican leadership should acknowledge that their greatest victories were when the conservatives provided the leadership.

The truth is that no successful political party has ever been built on ideological purity. You can construct a majority coalition by bringing people into your party, not by driving them away.

If you have to abandon most of the planks of your party platform, what have you built?
