I disgree with purging the so-called RINOs. We need to pick and choose, based on the state. Obvioulsy if it’s a solid conservative state (i.e. South Caroline) we want to purge the RINO. But no rock-ribbed conservative could win in such a Blue state like California. It’s simply pie in the sky talk.

While I don’t want them being the spokesperson for conservatism movement, I will happily take a RINO in a Blue state like Cal or Maine (Collins and Snowe). That’s a net net gain. They may not back everything we want but it gives us seats and a majority.

This is what the Dems have been successful with the past two cycles, running conservative candidates, knowing that they still report to Pelosi and Reid.

I completely agree. I hate RINO's like the rest of y'all but the RAT's employed a good strategy by getting conservative RAT's to run in conservative states. The key is the LEADERSHIP! Make sure there are enough conservatives to vote conservatives into committee chairmanships and other leadership posts. RINO's can just be useful idiots...Just my two cents worth.
