A RINO is better than a Demo. RINO's can on occasions do have flashes of conservatism. Yeah, Yeah I know very rarely.

I disagree. I think a RINO is worse than a Dem. With a RINO, conservatives are being fooled into voting to support someone that they THINK will support conservative values.
At least with a Dem, you KNOW that they will NOT support conservative values.

The only advantage of a RINO over a Rat is that a RINO can sometimes be coerced into the party fold on important votes with promises of committee seats or threats of removal. In the primaries, vote your conscience. In the General Election, vote for the best remaining candidate.
The disadvantage of a RINO is that they're taking a slot that a real conservative might be using, as is the case with Arlen Spectre.

A RINO is better than a Demo. I would like any conservative to tell me with a straight face that Illinois' King George the RINO (1999-2002) was better than Glen Poshard would have been.

RINO's make the party more liberal and chase away conservative voters.

Yeah, Yeah I know very rarely.The discussion should be about replacing Republican-in-name-only during the primaries. The primary is the time to mold the parties candidates. Incumbents that are not up to the job - or are afraid of the FBI file the Dems have on them - must go.
