I totally agree, which is why I don't use the term RINO lightly. After all, we used to have Glenn and Metzenbaum.
RINO should only be used for Republicans who consistently vote with the 'Rats -- like Jumping Jim Jeffords (even before he jumped).
Geez, a question finally? Oh Boy!
I'm so glad you said that! I totally agree. RINO is tossed around here whenever a vote goes against a particular poster's desire.
I prefer RWR's view = he'd rather have senators who vote with him 60-70-80 percent of the time, than NONE of the time.
