By your convoluted logic Gov Palin also is a RINO for backing McCain against JD Hayworth. Extrapolating further, Google will provide an unending list of Republicans who have supported your definitions of RINO’s. Reminds me of cannibalism.
Palin supported McCain for obvious reasons. Being conservative aint one of them.
Like I said, Haley showed her true colors by supporting the LIBERAL Romney for US president. She got handed her ass for it. Hopefully there will be no more talk of her and other opportunists like her being the NEW republican party. She needs to worry about getting reelected in a state where she likes to cozy up with liberals. South Carolinians don’t liberals.
