Blech...

It’s weird to see all this “RINO!” stuff in a place that is (rightly) hostile to the Republican party as it now is constituted. Such name-calling is a substitute for critical thought, and so brain-dead and meaningless when the definition of RINO is now “Whoever isn’t my candidate.”

We criticize the Republican party daily here—so what does “RINO” even mean anymore?

[Tempest]

It means Perry is a RINO by any conventional measure of the term. I’m pretty sure of it.

[SoConPubbie]

For Perry, it means:

1. He supports Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Euphenism for Amnesty)
2. He signed a Pro-Homosexual Agenda Hate-Crimes Bill.
3. He is against a Border Fence/Wall
4. He is against interior enforcement of Illegal Immigration, A.K.A. AZ1070
5. HE is against using E-Verify as a tool to limit Illegal Immigrants getting jobs in Texas.
6. He tried to implement a mandated vaccine for a sexually-acquired disease for minor girls effectively implementing a Nanny-State approach that made parents 2nd class citizen where the vaccine was concerned.

That should be enough for any red-meat conservative to be able to see that taking Rick's actions in consideration and measuring them against his current campaign rhetoric makes any rational conservative queasy.
