The term RINO is thrown apart haphazardly around here. Tell me, what does a person have to support in order to be considered a RINO.

Actually when forced to think about it one needs to consider whether or not we can call someone a RINO given we really don’t know what the GOP really stands for any more. The term is used to denote someone who is not in line with Republican issues but the issues of the Republican Party have become pretty cloudy.
Personally I would say that anyone who does not strongly support constitutional rights and right to life issues would certainly not be in line with what the Party USED to stand for. But, there ya go, is that what the party platform says any more.
So. Bottom line is that RINO could be a term that is as foggy as calling someone a Republican. Seems we need to restate what the Republican platform is.
Thanks, thanks for making things more foggy for me. Pffft.
