The definitions are as malleable as Play Doh, aren't they? The more trolls, the more the definition of RINO is custom molded to fit the argument. There are no "real" RINOS, only CINOS (Conservatives in Name Only to newbies; CINOS use the same dirty, illegal tactics as Democrats and talk the same talking points as Democrats, but identify themselves as "conservative". They even use Marx and Trotsky in some arguments)
There is a thread here called "Why Miers". IF it is even half true, it worse then we expected. Two things. 1. A lot of the "Conservative" heros said 'NO way am I going thru that. B. The gang of 7, Mclame and Specter pretty much said they would make sure anyone too right would get dumped. I just read it. Given the 90-9 vote on the Terrorist Protection Amendment, we should of known. "Our team" in the Senate has all ready surrendered. Seems long time Washington Political Egos are more important then the Conservative Agenda. God I am sick of these Senatoral surrender monkeys. I tell you this. IT WILL NOT be a Republican US Senator on the ticket in 2008. The whine all the time crowd may love this, but the Party activists nominate the nominee. They ARE not going to be happy about this at ALL. Better start looking around for a real good Republican Governor to run
