Peter King is a Conservative, check his record. However, everyone supporting Rudy is a RINO according to you.

I'm well aware of Peter King's "record", and although he has the right position on a few issues like abortion, he is in no way "conservative". Here's a sample of his "record":

- Representative King supported the interests of the Bread for the World 100 % in 2003.
- Representative King supported the interests of the National Council of La Raza 100 % in 2004.
- Representative King supported the interests of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence 66 % from 1988-2003
- Representative King supported the interests of the National Taxpayers Union 52 % in 2005.
- Representative King supported the interests of the NAACP 40 % in 2003-2004.
- Representative King supported the interests of the League of United Latin American Citizens 50 % in 2000.
- Representative King supported the interests of the Republican Liberty Caucus 48 % in 2004.
- Based on the results of a questionnaire the Gun Owners of America assigned Representative King a grade of D-

I never said "anyone" who supports Rudy is a RINO, the only one claiming such a ridiculous notion is whiners like you. There are a number of conservatives backing Rudy, such as Bill Simon.

King's endorsement of Rudy has nothing to do with him being a RINO, and is due to King endorsing whoever happens to be "popular" at the time. (King would happily be touting Tancredo or Hunter if it was to his politial advantage) What makes King a RINO is his "proven record" as a Clinton loving, pro-terrorist, gun-grabbing scumbag.
