"The moderates who are out there, they've been rather quiet for a few years. Many of them have dropped out of the party or become independents...

Good riddance!

RINOS out!

We must hang together. It would be wonderful to have the luxury of being only a party of true conservatives but we don't have the numbers to defeat RATS without the RINOs. Do I like it? No, but that's being realistic.

If the true conservatives hang together in the primaries, we can advance our candidates and then we'll advance but to not play ball if our guy does not get the nomination is to retreat and allow the RATS to advance.

I prefer to hang on to whatever territory we've conquered until we get the next chance to advance.
