#1 There little difference between Afghan tribes and RINOs in that both practice the 'strong horse' politics. That's why RINOs should never control the levers and purse strings of a party.

#2 Big government, tax and spend Republicans ARE an improvement over Democrats. But not by much.

#3 Um, nope, DMFD. Case in point, Olympia Snowe. That dumb bunny's vote is gonna be used as proof of "bipartisanship" on health care, and will give the other RINO's an excuse to vote for that monstrosity.

#4 This article is rubbish- the CV of the 'journalist' was no surprise. (Los Angeles Times, NPR, Columbia University, etc. etc.)

The party's strategy for attracting moderate voters risks alienating activists who are demanding ideological purity[...]

No, the party is running candidates who are weak/non-existent on the ECONOMIC core. Ms. Scozzafava, for instance, is endorsed by New York's WFP. That means ACORN to the rest of you. She may also have some campaign-funding mischief- I don't know about that personally (she is upstate, I am City.)

Several of the others mentioned are associated with the stimulus or the anthropogenic global warming scam. Those are tea-party red-lines, as I understand it.

If the WSJ doesn't want to hire minimally knowledgeable writers, they can die with the rest.

#5 Hereby declare is open season on RINOs. Challenge them all and kick then to the curb. The next political compromise should come from the left and not from the right.

#6 There is a danger in running RINOs as was evidenced by McCain. He looked very much like a Democrat. We ended up getting BO. I think the very problem is not having ideological purity and getting blurred with the Democrats.

#7 I donated to Hoffman yesterday. Used to enjoy telling the RNC where my money was going, but they have stopped calling.

#8 Gawd willing in time there will be no Republican party. Only Blue Dawgs Democrats and Paulites. The march of the ~~kooks~~ Paulites cannot be stopped.

I don't know, Cornsilk Blondie... they mocked the 1 vote=bipartisanship claim on Saturday Night Live last night.

.5MT, I don't think you need worry about the Paulites. They're too busy getting stoned to cause the rest of us any trouble... kind of like khat chewers, only less dribbly green.
