Suck on THAT, Barky!
Most of the time the term RINO is used around here it means 80% of the party. Is that the case with you? Are there any non-RINOS who can win a statewide office in your view?
Anytime a Republican achieves an office of power he immediately becomes the enemy. I got a fool on another thread trying to convince people that McD and Boehner are as bad as Obama. This is nuts.
I find the term to be less and less useful as it is applied to almost everyone of any significance in the Republican Party. Thus, I don’t use it if I am trying to make an actual point.

I worry about anyone who’s just been elected. We NEED them to stay where they are for awhile for their VOTES. But if they run and don’t get elected, do we lose them and everything they have to offer?
50-state landslide. (ALL the Wal-Mart crowd, including those who "never vote".)
Cheers!

Fewer than seventy votes on a palin() blog.....a stinkin’ tsunami of bubbling interest.
I'm all for the original Founders' Constitution, but looking at Biden and listening to him, I have to wonder if we really need Vice Presidents with an official residence, a staff, a jet, and all the other perks.
Senator Marco Rubio
Bingo! That’s the winner.
From there they can appoint the others, such as John Bolton as Sec of State
I was initially for Paul Ryan because he has budget credibility, but for someone to make a dynamite ticket, I would go with Mark Rubio.
Rick Perry might make a popular VP candidate but I don’t know that he would help her much in Texas (ha). However, he’s never lost an election.
I like West but I think his being black would detract in this case. Obama has ruined it for blacks for a while.
Bachmann is a none starter, one woman is enough on a ticket.
So I guess if I have to pick one it would be Rubio.
wow a whole lotta people voted in this poll...
Stop your lecturing. 80% of the Republican Party is RINOS. They are just as bad as Obama as they are allowing our country to go down the tubes. I suspect you know that.
Not a true statement that when a Republican achieves office he becomes the enemy. They usually prove they are RINOS and not necessarily an enemy. It’s not nuts.
I use the term and will continue to do so when it applies.
John Bolton
Only on freeper.
I will now get called a troll for that remark.
she lost me when she quit—er, left—as Gov of Alaska.I can’t trust her..that’s what voters will say.
Not good enough for the most posters on Freeper...
You do ONE thing they don’t like and they throw you under the bus. Just sayin’.
