You can start with what’s left of the Gang of 14: Collins, Graham, McCain, and Snow. DeWine, Chaffee, and Warner are already gone.

All the candidates that ran for the GOP presidential nomination except for Ron Paul and that’s because he’s from another planet.

If “Republican Philosophy and Principles” can be defined by the beliefs and actions of the majority of the people we view as ‘leaders’ in the party —

*WE* - the holders and practitioners of Conservative Values - have become the RINOs......

President Bush, to some extent.

Here's the problem, as I see it:

Activist conservatives make up only 20-30% of the population.

What's worse is that they're divided among themselves as to priorities and presentation.

Some conservative themes and goals are popular, or can be made so. Of these, small, non-intrusive, "leave-me-alone" government is probably the best. Gay "marriage", a hill to die on for the Left, even lost California, for heaven's sake.

However, some things that excite great passion among many conservative activists, things that "bring them out", are decidedly not popular. Many so-called "social issues" lead this particular list.

Reagan's great gift was the ability to select a panel of issues on which most Americans could agree. Modern conservative activists either 1) Think, falsely, that most Americans agree with them on issues which they don't, or, 2) Care so passionately about their particular issues that they don't CARE that 70% of Americans disagree with them.

We have a lot of work to do.

Be careful.

There’s a difference between getting rid of a RINO in a conservative state/district (e.g. McCain in AZ) and a RINO in a liberal state/district (e.g. Collins/Snowe in deep blue Maine, Coleman in blue MN).

While I wholeheartedly, without question, believe in getting the true conservative elected in red states/districts and even Purplish states/districts, only RINOs can win in Blue states. That’s a fact.

I mean, I think folks like Snowe and Collins realize they are not spokespeople for the conservative agenda. They are a bonus IMO.

That’s how the liberals have won the past two cycles. Running conservative Dems in conservative districts, but in the end muzzling them when they got to Congress, ceding more power to Pelosi/Reid.

Even kooks like KOS & Co understannd this theory. They’re not gonna get a bleeding-heart socialist elected in places like South Dakota, Montana, Arkansas, Loiusiana, and Nebraska - all conservative states with Dem U.S. Senators.

[Huck]

How about listing the ones that aren’t? It’ll take much less time and space.

[Pietro]

George Will, Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes, et al.

W/ spokesmen like these representing our views in the national media its a wonder there are any gop city councilmen in this country.

[wtc911]

It would be easier to list the names of those who aren’t RINOs.
