We are conservatives. Are RINOs conservative?
This is TRICK question, right? :)
In all honesty I don't know. I not even know where I fall in, exactly. Certain issues are hot for me, and others, to a lesser degree.
You know I am surprised I have not see - I am sure they exist - one of those questionnaires that would give you a 'score.' Sort of like you 'credit score,' (above 700 very good, over 800, well...:, under 600, hmmmm and so on [smile].
I suppose that even RINOs can be conservative on certain issues but not on most.
I tell you what I am about: from 1 - 10 scale:
Against abortion -10, homosexual shacking up ('union')-10. Love the Flag-10, Support of the Military-10, securing the border - 8, Immigration Reform - 8, Originalist for the supreme court, including a paper trail - 10, Guns - 5 (sorry), having a national ID card - 7, overspending - 6, less government - 6, - Stopping the attack on Christianity (Christmas, an any mention of God) - 10
I guess I don't have to clarify that I am not an 'intellectual,' much less and 'elitist' :), I am just a regular guy. So, I believe I am more of a 'social conservative,' than anything else.
So now that you know my views, where do I fall in? And where does a RINO fall in?
