Norm Coleman is a RINO only in the eyes of the purists here who are of the "anyone who doesn't agree with me 100% of the time is scum" mindset. Norm Coleman may not be as conservative as I am, but he is probably 10X more conservative than ACTUAL RINOs like Mark Kirk & Linc Chafee. If freepers refuse to look at the issues and can't tell the difference between Coleman and marxist, Obama-loving, pro-abortion surrender monkey's like Chafee, that's their problem. According to them, probably every Republican is a "RINO" except themselves.
Exactly the attitude of the 4 million "Republican" no-shows who judged McCain as a RINO and handed the Presidency to one Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
P.S. McCain is an outrageous RINO, and ran a very dumb campaign ... but Americans are supposed to be smart enough to figure out the Two-Party System and deal with it by voting for the "lesser of two evils." Perhaps the punitive stay-at-home "Republicans" will admit the error of their ways when our Magic Marxist Mulatto announces his first Supreme Court nomination, or builds a minaret on the WH lawn.
