Brownback is one of the most conservative Senators. Just because he has a difference on one issue (and I'm not sure about that) doesn't make someone a RINO.
This RINO name is much misused. We need ALL Republicans, including Gays, RINO, right wing radicals, moderates.... in order to defeat the leftists. Let's think positive about our party and put the subtle differences aside when it comes to election time.
However, I can't imagine Brownback having a chance in hell of doing well in the R primary. He's rather dry in personality, IMO.

This is the third post I've tried to explain what I'm saying: he's a RINO on border issues. He may be a conservative on everything else but what good is it when you're giving the country away?
You say it's only one issue but take a look at some of the immigration threads and see how much support there is for the McCain, Ted Kennedy, Sam Brownback amnesty. That is the most destructive bill to have been written let alone supported by so-called conservatives.
