There is no such thing. If they are for Obama or Hillary, they are not conservatives. They might CALL themselves republicans, but that would put them directly in the RINO category. Or, they are simply Marxist Dimocrats trying to tell us they are republicans. Any, ANY, ANY person that calls him or herself a conservative, that votes for Hillary or McCain or Miff, ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES.

I think I called them by the correct name, up in post 3.

Actually, you can’t become a RINO unless you are elected. This guy isn’t elected. That means he has to be nothing more than a countryclubber, and cannot, definitionally speaking, be part of the party base.

It’s hard to imagine. I read an article on here just yesterday showing his voting record. He’s one of, if not the most liberal person in the Senate.

I think that you and most of the other posters are missing something here.

I have two nephews who are just like this guy. They are both young (32/26), both well educated, both successful in corporate careers. They were raised as Evangelicals (the rest of us are Catholic). Suddenly, both are for Obama.

These guys have been voting Republican for as long as they've been of age. They never showed any indication of even the slightest drift toward the left. There is something in Obama that appeals to the under 35 crowd. And, they see McCain as the grumpy old man who yells at them instead of talks with them.

We can insult their intelligence or their honesty or their motives but that will do us no good. There is a reason why these young Republicans are turning. If we don't find a way to address it then we risk losing much of their generation.
