Yeah, well when you have RHINOs running amoke, commandments go out the window.

[Common Tator]

Yeah, well when you have RHINOs running amoke, commandments go out the window.

Commandments go out the window and DINOS come in.

Don't forget to tell those DINOs you created them.

If you liked RINOs you will love DINOs.

There is a freeper who must fancy himself some sort of Reagan fan by adopting a variation of his name, and he trashes Republicans regularly, saying they deserve it.

We shouldn't be surprised when other RINO's do the same.

[phoenix0468]

Is there such a beast? I have yet to see one since Zel left the party.

Q: Who IS Randy Teford

A: A twelve year old who is up past his bedtime.

[darkangel82]

Ben Nelson from NE is more conservative than many Repubs, including his counterpart, Hagel.

Maybe the Republicans deserve to be, in your words, "trashed".
Though I'd bet that this "Reagan fan" (ReaganMan?) might use a different verb.

ReaganMan...Pinged per FR's posting rules.

[phoenix0468]

Well, then, vote for him if you think he's such a hot commodity.

[phoenix0468]

But, when he starts voting for tax increases, troop withdrawals, and more regulation on business, don't come whining to me. It'll happen, they always do it to keep with the party line.

I've had just about enough of RINOs waving this 11th Commandment crap:

“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” -— Ronald Reagan, 1965 Source

[darkangel82]

Here in FL we have the other Nelson(Bill), and he does the same thing.

[pissant]

No the time to fight is in the primary season, as it always has been.

[phoenix0468]

Related?

[darkangel82]

Don't think so, but they vote the same way, apart from the few times when Ben Nelson votes with us.

[Balding_Eagle]

Thanks, I'd forgotton his name.

I'm sure he'll come and re-inforce the point I made.

[jla]

So, how has he "trashed" Republicans?

[bybybill]

Gee, don`t remember RR bad mouthing Rinos. Of course, Mr. Reagan knew the Rats are worse.

[garv]

I do remember that Reagan ran against a sitting Republican president in 1976.

[Gunder]

Yeah, I agree, the bashing by some conservatives toward so-called RINOs has gotten a little out of hand. I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying so, but whatever. Strom Thurmond types will never win in New England. I'll take the likes of Snowe and Collins and Specter over a Dem-controlled Senate any day.
