“It is no different because they SUPPORT WHAT THE DEMS DO!”

I’ll explain why I disagree. You keep claiming the “RINOs” support what the Democrats do. I even agree with you to a certain extent, but it’s simply not as black and white as you appear to claim. Even some of the best conservatives out there aren’t 100% pure. Are they RINOs? Where do you draw the line?

Look at some of the conservative rating sites. Democrats are typically near zero, but the worst RINOs usually score a few votes in our favor. Even the worst RINO may be with us on 20%, 30% or even 40% of the votes!

Now you keep saying the RINOs need to be eliminated, and I agree. I want them gone, and I want the Republican Party shifted right. That’s not the issue. The issue is you keep writing that it’s better to elect Democrats (a MAJOR problem) to defeat RINOs (a lesser, but significant problem).

What’s really more important here, making the Republican Party more pure or building enough support to control Congress? Forgive me if I seem dense, but I simply don’t understand how more Democrats is better or even the same. If that were so, tell me we’d be in the same shape right now if a Democrat replaced every RINO. If that were so, we wouldn’t even control the House.

It’s said that Boehner could pass immigration amnesty right now with Democrat and RINO votes, but Boehner is a RINO don’t you know. So put a Democrat in Boehner’s seat. Put another in Cantor’s seat. Keep eliminating those RINOs and tell me we’d be in the exact same shape as we are now.

There is no point in continuing. you are not speaking from a factual position. you are trying, as you have been, to rewrite the facts in evidence.

FR is full of daily examples of solid, factually accurate examples of RINOS siding with Democrats to hurt America. DAILY. HOURLY.

People either support that or they do not. Period. As I told you earlier there is no such thing as a little pregnant. Likewise there is no such thing as not supporting RINOs while putting/keeping them in power. The very act of helping put or keep a rino in power is the textbook definition of support. You do not oppose a person into office.
Thus, what they do, they do with/because of the support of those that put them there. And yes, only an abject moron would try arguing otherwise.

You worry about “us” trying to make the Republican Party “more pure”?!?! Are you out of your mind?!? Why on God’s earth are you willing to support the types of people who have literally said THEY WANT TO DECIMATE YOU??? “More pure?” I just want someone who doesn’t make fun of everything I believe in while aiding and abetting lawbreakers and infiltrators of this country! Wow, how radical and PURIST of me.
