I hardly come back here anymore. I spent most of last year working for Christine O'Donnell and some nit-wit here called me a "RINO loving traitor" because I criticized Sarah Palin. I loved FR & have been here since 2000. But truly it seems like Animal Farm anymore.

And BTW, Perry did get his butt kicked in the debate.

Hmm ~ a RINO?

I'm sure I didn't say anything like that. After all, the only way you get to be a RINO is to have been elected to office under another party's label, then jump ship to run as a REPUBLICAN ~ usually because the big dogs in the Democrat party decided it wasn't your turn to move up yet.

We broke the back of the Democrats in the formerly "Solid South" just that way.

Some people looking far into the future decided to change the meaning of RINO beginning in a Freeper Thread on 9/25/2001.

I guess they saw that some current Democrats might like to avoid the fate of being declared to be RINOs around FR, so they started early to clear the decks.

In that one thread the term is used BOTH WAYS. Before that time RINO was used only to refer to ship jumping Democrats.

Obviously I'd never misuse the term.

So, did you complain about it? Get mad; voice your displeasure; make a threat; raise caine; let me know of your distress? Whatever, you should have.

BTW, you are not allowed to criticize Sarah even if you do work for Christine ~ not while I'm around, but I'm sure your criticism was not meant in a heartfelt way so I simply missed it.

We had some trouble with the anti-Christine folks ~ they liked Br'r Castle I gather. Frankly, Castle was a p~~~z
