Oh yes, now DeMint is a RINO.
C’mon, folks.
I believe the real problem is that conservatives don't really have a party in this coutry. Both republicans and democrats are the parties of the status quo. The only reason a lot of folks here are 'republican' is because they don't know what else to be. What "RINO" has essentially come to mean, is that the politician has no principles for which he will stand. At least no conservative principles worth mentioning. That means that the congresscritter is definitely a 'republican' because he fits right in with the rest of the slimy bastards, but he's not one of us..
