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) ......
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!
So your evidence of Fred being a RINO is a joke he made.. wow.. that is compelling..
The people who want HUnter ( and I would like it too ) will paint everyone else a RINO in order to garner the “conservative” support. The other RINO supporters want to bring down Fred to the level of their guy so that can be called conservative as well.
Fred may not be as conservative as Hunter but he is way, way more conservative than anyone else on that list.
It is like saying Michelle is not a hot as Ann so I wouldn’t want her??? I’d take either.
DEEP BOOMING VOICE . . .
Why is Fred Thompson on your list? Because he knows that embrace of a Federal Life Amendment would doom his candidacy? I’m having trouble thinking of anything else conservatives are mad at him about.
What about Laura Ingraham?
—I’m with you— (usually)—
Agreed. I also thought Kit Bond was a reliable conservative. Won't say that I'm completely on board with Bond over the past couple of years, but I don't consider him a RINO...yet.
Because there are better "Conservatives" to pick from.
Wait, is she more or less hot?
I guess we have to throw her out too.
We can’t settle on a 8 when we have a 9, so let’s make sure we get stuck with a 3 by riding a dead horse :)
I am a conservatarian; therefore I am more in line with modern conservative movement than some others. ;)
Grow up.
Duncan Hunter is a RINO.
Newt Gingrich is a RINO.
Bob Dole is a RINO.
Barry Goldwater is a RINO.
George W. Bush is a RINO.
Ronald Reagan is a RINO.
Abraham Lincoln? He was a RINO too.
Republican National Committee? Bunch of RINOs!
rface? Big RINO. RINOs everywhere. RINO RINO RINO!
I was with you until Fred. You’re way off base there.
What about Fred’s vote for CFR?
Nice tagline..It fits.
Don’t blame FR.
