You do claim to know the RINOs.
Their flip flop shows no conservatism — in any sense.
And Gov. Palin’s record is a heck of an improvement
over the Rove-derived RINOs Mitt and Rick.

I only claim to know what the original intent of the term was - and it was more directed at Republicans who trashed other Republicans. Now by definition, that means it would be the more liberal Republicans - but it was their social climbing with the media by way of trashing their own party that was the definitive trait.
And flip flops are one thing - true change of hearts and minds is another - and I admitted to not knowing which was which all the time and I think you are on thin ice if you deign to always know. I admit, sometimes it is obvious.
And Palin’s record versus Rove and Mitt and Rick is very good indeed. But those three folks cannot stand each other and lumping them together is not politically accurate. I would call Rove an establishment Republican and a soul less opportunist more than a RINO though he has RINO traits. I would call Mitt hard to pin down and a flawed and unreliable conservative, but he rarely trashes the base or other Republicans. Perry is a conservative with flaws and red flags, but IMO not a RINO either.
Not everyone not named Sarah Palin or Jesus is a RINO. They can just be flawed. And FTR, Palin’s stance on unions is left of all of the three folks above. It’s about my only problem with her.
