ust what is a RINO? Is there any wiggle room in the definition? Do the same standards of RINO traits applicable in Texas or Alabama (as noted upthread) fit for candidates in New Jersey or California?

I'm going to offer a point for debate. Old-timers, feel free to slap me around.

If we decide to form a PAC, we would do so first at the national level. As the PAC project progresses (gains influence, obtains some success,) we would then form PACs in all 57 states. IMO, the state-level PACs should define the traits of a RINO for their membership/donors. But to get us started on the national/federal PAC, Jim has suggested a list of RINOs. That list will keep us focused and busy through 2014.

Agree? Disagree?

With regard to our mission statement, social issues, obamacare repeal (goes without saying doesn’t it?) the definition of RINO, etc..

My opinion, “Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness,” best answers the ‘social issue’ question. “Life” always takes precedence. We are conservatives and we believe and know that life starts at conception.

I’m awed by the progress and the ping list shows we have tremendous interest!

This is Christmas week and I see a lot of good questions have been raised. I suggest that more time and serious concentration can be better accomplished next week on these important matters. I know that a lot of knowledgeable members are busy this week, but please know that I am most willing to help whenever and however I possibly can.

GOOD GOING, you all! WOO-HOO!
