I know what YOUR definition of RINO is (you've waived your ignorance over the topic more than enough for everyone to know) and it is not what the ENTIRE rest of the world means by the term. Former party affiliation has absolutely nothing to do with the word RINO. RINO pertains solely to the political policies the individual supports. Is he in line with traditional Republican policy stances, or is he aligned with positions which are traditionally Democrat Party positions. . . . nothing more, nothing less.
Until you know the lexicon and the meanings of terms in use, you cannot cogently enter the conversation.
Sorry buddy, but I know what your game is ~ you want to protect the four or five Southern RINOs left in the party. Won't work. We know who they are, and that's the original meaning of the term~
I notice none of you ever notice that Johnson and Paul are ALSO active, practicing members of the Libertarian Party ~
I notice that stuff ~ and in my book if you want to run for President as a Republican that's what you have to be all the time ~ a Republican ~ not a Libertarian, not a Democrat, not a Mexican immigration advocate, not a........ ~ and if you just gotta' put the leftwingtard stuff in there, do it, but the rest of it counts.
We ran a primary season with three Republican Conservatives and seven RINOS and the Republicans got blamed for "splitting the vote" ~ what about the Seven? Is there something in your eyes that prevents you from seeing the RINOS?
