"If you show me a republican who is NO a RINO, then I submit that the person is simply a Conservative posing as a Republican. "

Republican is a party affiliation. Conservative is a philosophy or ideology. When people say RINO, they mean he is no conservative, but I think you know that.

When people say RINO, they mean he is no conservative, but I think you know that.

Right, but I hear the term RINO used for anyone who is not conservative. Truth is, a Republican is whatever is politically expedient. The term RINO really is meaningless.
