ReallY Why do you consider Paul Ryan a "RINO"? Why is Mitch Daniels -- the first governor of any Great Lakes state to pass and sign a Right to Work bill -- a "RINO"?
Certainly in terms of domestic policy, both of those guys are more conservative than Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum.
Daniels was dissing social conservatives. That is always something a RINO would do.
Both he and Daniels are drooled over by the RiNO elitists; I trust them to recognize their own kind, without inspecting their ACU records myself.
