Yeah, will agree with you on that. Some people use the term RINO without the slightest clue being a RINO is not substitution for the word "Liberal". A person can be a Liberal Republican without the two being in conflict.

Why this needs to keep being repeated over and over is beyond me though. It would seem easy to comprehend.

A RINO is someone that runs as a Republican, but is loyal to the Party In name only. Note---Not loyal to conservatism in name only. That is a CINO, which Rudy is not either since he doesn't pretend to be conservative except on only a couple of issues where he can legitimate claim so.

Lindsey Graham is a CINO.

Bloomberg is a RINO. Actually, he's not even a RINO. Everyone knows he's a Democrat in N.Y.C.

Chafee, though, IS a RINO. No loyalty whatsoever to party but come election time wants the President's support that he, himself, wouldn't offer in the President's re-election bid.

I like Rudy, but I'm not voting him in the primary. However, being more Liberal then me I still will credit he's good on WOT, loyal to the Prez and Party and would be 10 times better then the Dems or McCain. Still not voting for him in the primary, still hoping a conservative Republican with a spine shows up to run.

McCain is an egotistical unstable controlling weaselly little opportunistic back stabber that I'll be damned first before ever considering him as President. I urge all Republicans running against McCain to wait until he has a Live audience the networks have to cover, then make him blow that short fuse he has similiar to Howie's famous screech. I want the little napolean exposed to America for the loose cannon he is.

The article is right though. The MSM isn't picking our candidate, neither are the Lordships in the U.S. Senate.

And, just to add, there is a reason I'm not registered as a Republican. The reason is that I won't pledge allegiance to the Republican Party. I am a conservative registered as an Independent. I have pledged allegiance to conservatism before a political party. I use the Republican Party as a means to an end.

Someone can be both a conservative and a Republican, but the dualities of loyalty often conflict and since I'm not running for office I see no point in subjecting myself to that internal conflict.

Great comments. I like the distinction you make between the RINO's & the CINO's. I agree with that.... a lot of the Senate Repubs are in fact CINO's, as in the example of Lindsey Graham.

I like your comment about prodding John McCain in the primaries at some televised event, and watching this unstable turncoat B@ST@RD have a volcanic explosion & meltdown on national TV! Ohhh would I love to see that!

I urge all Republicans running against McCain to wait until he has a Live audience the networks have to cover, then make him blow that short fuse he has similiar to Howie's famous screech. I want the little napolean exposed to America for the loose cannon he is.
