When 2 rhinos battle, the base pays the price.
Ron Paul is a lot of things, to be sure. But he is NOT a Rhino. Paleo-conservative, possibly. Pre-WW2 Conservative? Yes. Neo-con? NO! Many here on Free Republic are neo-cons, as are many of the most popular talk radio figures. So it’s not surprising that many here don’t like Paul.
But he’s not a RINO as we use the term. (IE: Rockefeller Republican, often siding with and voting with Dems, unwilling to take a stand for Conservatism, wishy washy on the issues.)
WTH are you talking about? I'm not a Paulbot, but Ron Paul is no RINO by any stretch of the imagination.
:-D
