Rather than using our energy against the Senate RINOs(for now), I believe we’d be better off focusing our efforts on taking back the seats that should be ours but are not, in places such as, Montana, North Dakota, Arkansas and Missouri. After we get the majority we can deal with the RINOs. While we can’t count on them for much else, at least they will vote R for Senate leader; we can’t do much else until we win that vote. We will come back for them later.
I see what you’re saying, but I feel that the RINO’s are preventing us from doing just that, i.e. by undermining our agenda and soaking up scarce RNC funds, the RNC break us down from the inside and prevent us from making those gains. IMHO for us to be able to regain those seats at all, we need to train our sights on the RINO’s first and force them out ASAP— hopefully push them to retire like Martinez, and to do so this year, so that we’ll be able to unify as the conservative party that our base truly is.
Again, the historical comparison is Goldwater in 1964. It wasn’t comfortable for us, but if we’d just muddled along with that era’s versions of RINO’s— rather than making the philosophical break that we did with Goldwater, and pushing out the traitors— then there would have been no Reagan, no conservative revolution, no 3-4 decades of Republican dominance going into the first decade of the 21st century. We had to take care of our own ranks first, and even though it meant some momentary pain in 1964, it resulted in the greatest period of conservative transformation and rule that our nation had ever known. Far better to excise the RINO wound today, rather than letting it fester and continue to drag us down.
There is nothing that Graham, Snowe, Collins, Hatch, McMahon, Cochran and their fellow traitors can do, to return them into our good graces. They’ve betrayed us far too many times before and shown themselves to be untrustworthy, and any crumbs they toss in our direction would be just that— crumbs, to feign their loyalty even as they get breathing room for their next betrayal.
That’s why we can’t tolerate it anymore. The RINO’s have to go, ASAP, and preferably be forced out and pushed to resign as Martinez was. We don’t have the luxury of waiting— we need action.
