Does Comrade Nancy count?

I need some help finding some Democrat Party leadership who are considered DINO's. The last one I remember being a prominent leader was Joe Lieberman, but he's been kicked out of the party. Are there any? Can you name them and give me a reason WHY you consider them too conservative for the Democratic Party?
The list for RINO's (Republican in Name Only) is long. I'll just list the most vocal and prominent leaders in the Republican Party who act and agree with too many Democrat Party opinions.
John Mcain Mitt Romney John Boehner Mitch McConnell Olympia Snow Scott Brown Susan Collins Lamar Alexander Marco Rubio Rob Portman Chris Christie Colin Powell Condoleezza Rice Rudy Giuliani George W. Bush
Sorry the last DINO I knew of was Zell Miller....Lieberman has always been just an Israel first dimorat
“Welcome to Jurrasic Park”.
In a word, no.
They’ve either left the party long ago, or are willing to keep their mouths shut and sell out for goodies in their districts.
Does Comrade Nancy count?
My former congressman (when I graduated more than a quarter century ago) is Colin Peterson of Minnesota, a Blue Dog Democrat. He may be the closest thing we have left to a DINO. He votes with conservatives maybe about 40% of the time, about the same as Arlen Specter did back in the days of when he was a Republican, and Harry Reid did before he became majority leader.
Commies ARE Democrats in Name Only
What you are actually asking is “ Are there any patriots in the Democratic party left?”
The last was indeed Joe Lieberman who rose above his normal liberal tendencies when the country’s defense was at stake.
I would venture to say some others who are no longer there I could mention would be Samm Nunn, John Breaux, and perhaps Bill Bradley and Daniel Moynihan.
There are no DINOs, dead, extinct or otherwise. Just searching here for a democrat one could tolerate...articulate, speaks well, intelligent, and perhaps a sharp crease in his trousers.
I used to be. But I’m no longer a ‘rat. I guess I could always join again, but I don’t see the point. And who in their right mind would want to be associated with the gop or ‘rat political leadership when this all comes crashing down around their ears anyway?
Does it really matter if there are any DINO’s? The gop wing of the uniparty is not any different from the ‘rat wing.
There are non. Every partisan vote is 100% democrat lockstep, to 65% RINO, 35% conservative/other republican.
When a Freshman Democrat comes in the first thing they do is talke him to the room where they remove the brain and place the mechanism of the Borg in their head.
After that they are all the same , when the party ays raise your hand they raise like good little Bogs.
Not one of them is allowed to think for themselves.
Democrat Party v Publican Party is almost irrelevant.
Totalitarian v Individualist is the correct framing.
On the Individualist side you wont find many who belong to “either” party.
Here is an example from the news today. Obama addressed a group of Democratic legislatures today and Pelosi said his presentation was masterful. That was a DINO praising the leader of the DINO/RINO party (The Oligarchs). A few of the true Democratic legislatures actually complained about the meeting. They basically said Obama ridiculed them and ignored their questions. That is how the head Oligarch (DINO Obama) treats true Democrats.
What we have here folks is the secret government (basically not a secrete anymore). They comprise the Oligarchy which is composed of RINO's and DINO's. They are not liberals or conservatives or Republicans or Democrats in the normal sense. They are Oligarchs. They support the monied interests whether they be the House of Saud or the House of Europe.
That explains why RINO's and DINO's want thousands of pages of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, when most of the Oligarchy in government cannot even read more then a dozen pages of legislation a night. They are pushing the reform for their monied interests. Whether they are big agriculture or big immigration interests.
Thus the Tea Party is actually composed of True Republicans and True Democrats and True Libertarians. We do not care what the money interest want. We only care about what Americans want. Now it would be nice if we could free more True Democrats from the DINO Plantation, but the Oligarchs just announced that DINO Obama was undertaking a massive brainwashing effort to keep them there.
Why do people keep calling them the “democratic” party? They are NOT democratic. Don’t communist countries, e.g. The Peoples Democratic Republic of North Korea, The Democratic People’s Republic of China, etc. call themselves “democratic”? Why don’t freepers from now on just type the Democrat Party? Referring to them as democratic implies something that they are truly not.
There is no such thing as a DINO, for a very simple reason:
The Democrat party is the party of slavery, Jim Crow, treason, and abortion. In order to be a DINO, a person would have to have the moral and intellectual integrity to oppose the evils which are of the essence of the Democrat party. Any such person would never have become a Democrat in the first place. There is no depth of moral depravity (such as favoring the murder of babies who have been born alive) that disqualifies a person from being a loyal Democrat. Thus, no one can become a DINO on account of become TOO wicked and perverted.
The reason there are RINOs is that the true ideals of the Republican Party are consonant with authentic moral principles. There are many who lack the integrity to live by those principles—by favoring abortion, for instance, or treason (open borders)—and thus become RINOs.
