That’s not necessarily true. So I guess Ronald Reagan was a RINO for putting GHW Bush on the ticket and deciding that Richard Schweiker would be his running mate in RWR unsucessful bid against Gerald Ford in 1976.
Kay Bailey Hutchison = RINO,
George H.W. Bush = RINO,
Ronald Reagan = RINO, and
Ron Paul = HERO.
I never said Sarah Palin was a RINO, now did I? I merely said (or tried to say) that this new endorsement changes nothing with regard to Palin.
Besides, your example is a reverse of McCain/Palin 2008 and is therefore null.
