Sorry I not a Rino. I have this weird belief that conservatives should be held to a higher standard than the unhinged left. I find the excuse of "well look at them they do it" not exactly compelling.

That organization was dangerous and in fact caused much grief here. I have no desire to see them legitimized by becoming involved in mainstream movements.
