Surrounded by RINOs: RINOs to the Left of me and RINOs to the Right of me

RINOs have infested the GOP, and for that matter FreeRepublic. I am sure that there is a certain level of RINO infestation that can be lived with, but our “Institutions” are being over-run by these vermin.

The polls that show up on the bottom of the FreeRepublic page consistently show too much support for RINOs, and this is just unacceptable. I mean – how can it be that RINOs like McCain, Romney, Ron Paul and Giuliani (among others) get so much Freeper support. I am not sure what we can, or should, do to eliminate this problem, but there has to be some sort of ultimate solution.

It seems like a consensus has emerged here that many here seem to agree with, and it goes something like: "There is no difference between [insert liberal Democrat Name here] and [insert RINO Name here], so it will do the GOP and “Conservatism” a great service to NOT support the RINO and let the LIBERALs have the election. I mean, there’s no difference between them, and it will help the conservative movement, by showing how Liberalism and RINOism will destroy America."

Maybe for a start…..I might suggest that there be a grand list of RINOs that deserve NO support – and that those on the list be “PURGED” in one fashion or another. I am trying to provide links to support my charges of RINO status.

Pat Robinson ...... McCain ....... Romney

Ron Paul...... Senator Coleman (MN)...... Senator Kit Bond (MO)

Giuliani ....... Mike Huckabee ..... Sen. George V. Voinovich

Sen. Collins ...... Senator Snowe ...... Sen. Hagel

Sen. John W. Warner ...... Senator Hatch (UT)..... Senator Lott (MS)

Senator Specter (PA) ..... Arnold Schwarzenegger ..... Senator Graham (SC)

Senator Lugar (IN) ...... Senator Kyl (AZ) ..... Senator Martinez (FL) ......

Fred Thompson

I am sure I could make this list hugely BIG – like probably 10X this big ..... but I think I should let other FRepers join in so we can purge those RINO’s for good!

The Party is infested with dullards.

my first attempt at spelling started out “barley”...and that just didn’t look right.

Am I supposed to take this thread seriously with Fred Thompson on the list as a RINO? This has got to be a joke, but I’m not hanging around in this thread for the punch line.

McCain gets justly tagged as a RINO for being the father of campaign finance reform. Fred deserves the label for being its long-suffering midwife.

And don't tell me "But-but-but Fred no longer supports it!" It's still the law, and he dropped it on us. No true Republican would invest the time and energy that Fred did to stifle free speech. He sold us out once, and for the right price he'd sell us out again.

That was a pun on my part, to describe the not-so-miniscule level of sarcasm. Thus: BEAR, normally a rather noticable animal.

Anyone whose name appears in the same column as Babs Boxer is no friend of mine

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I must have copied and pasted sloppily. Here is the complete list of Republican Senators who voted for Campaign Fiance Reform: Republicans voting yes: Chafee (R-RI), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), Domenici (R-NM), Fitzgerald (R-IL), Jeffords (R-VT), Lugar (R-IN), McCain (R-AZ), Snowe (R-ME), Specter (R-PA), Stevens (R-AK), Thompson (R-TN)
