It's somewhat humorous . . . almost every time I read that some Republican is not conservative enough (here), their ACU Lifetime Rating is in the 80's or higher. So in other words, and in a good number of cases, "not conservative enough" or its derivative "RINO," really means "this guy failed to agree with me about my pet issue."

Precisely. There are a lot of single-issue Republicans out there, it seems. If it's not about their issue, they're bored silly.

That's what's led us to the awful state we're in right now. The entire Congress comes to a halt over a poor woman's dying. Those who voted for that knew it wouldn't stand, but they thought they'd curry favor with the 10% who were so wrapped up in it they thought of nothing else.

That's the trouble with things right now. We can't do anything substantial because we're so worried about what people are doing in the bedroom, rather than not spending the next generation's money.

It's sickening.
