This thread is a perfect example of why the dimocRATS are going to win and the country will take a hard turn to the left. To many Republicans will sit out the election because their guy is not the nominee.

Wow.

We are at War with the Democrats!

Soldiers do not leave the battle field in a hissy fit while their brethren turn to corpses!

Defining some of these guys as RINOs reminds me of that old definition for "zealot".

A "zealot" is someone who does what God would do if God had all the facts.

Defining a RINO is someone who doesn't agree with a conservative zealot (and not necessarily with a conservative in general) means a large Crash of RINOs in the offing.

[gunservative]

It would help if solid conservatives would challenge lifer RINOs in primaries rather than just rubber stamping the re-election because of the fear of going up a giant war chest. It can be done. 2008 and 2010 will be the years to try.

Give me anyone but Rudy, Ron, or the Huckster.
I can throw support, to varying degrees, behind any of the others.

Rudy, Ron, or the Huckster and I'm outta there.

Wow, what a great Stalinist you are! Let’s purge everyone from the party who doesn’t “think” exactly like you, even people who are otherwise strong conservatives. Then we can be just like the Democrats who march in lock-step to the zombie drum beat of think-alike, speak-alike sameness. What a really shameful, embarrassing post. So much for Reagan’s big tent GOP, right? Or was he a RINO too, once having been pro-choice on abortion, pro-labor union?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

You need to acknowledge that we can only purge those for whom we can vote or oppose. I am happy with the conservatism of those who represent me here in Texas - Sen. Hutchison, Sen. Cronyn, and Rep. Sam Johnson.

I can't do a thing about those others you mention nor can you affect mine unless you live nearby.

Good luck on getting Fred Thompson named as an official RINO on this website, you’re going to need it.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I have bad news for you: Jim Robinson likes Fred Thompson.

[Lancey Howard]

Thanks for continuing to dumb down the definition of RINO.
Won’t you join me in supporting Ludwig von Mises for President?

[My2Cents]

I’m a RINO, he’s a RINO, she’s a RINO, they’re a RINO, wouldn’t you like to be a RINO too!

[Reaganesque]

I think it would be helpful for you to give the rest of us your definitions as to what you believe a “real” Conservative is and what a “RINO” is. In terms of policies supported, stated moral beliefs and actions (past and present), what specifically do you look for when you determine the Conservative/RINO status of a given candidate?

[Pistolshot]

A little frustrated?

[Rick.Donaldson]

You know, I’ve been here on FR for a lot of years, read here long before I ever registered.

But, I have to say something. I don’t mind arguing with the Left, or RINOs, or the pretend-to-Bes...

Why would you want to Purge people? I mean, while I do understand the terms of service here (have similar ones on sites I help run) I can definitely understand banning someone who is trolling.

But purging others for their own, particular point of view that doesn’t match someone else’s point of view is ridiculous.

If people get banned, it ought to be the ones who troll consistently. After five or six idiotic posts, nuke ‘em.

But, I don’t get “purging” folks cuz they don’t happen to agree with you. Do you not like like to debate people who simply can’t argue without calling you names? :)

[Rick.Donaldson]

Oh WAIT, sorry you want to purge CANDIDATES? and Congresscritters? Ah.. ok, I see it more clearly now.

/chuckles

[Verbosus]

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.

[Shryke]

If your post is what I think it is, you’ve done well so far.

[trisham]

Take a nap. Or something.
