fat chance RINO

"Many of you used a term that I’d like to see outlawed from the vernacular of the party: RINO," he said, calling it a "pejorative term" that questioned one's purity.
Huckabee pointed out that he got a tweet from someone who complained that he was a RINO, which upset him.
"With all due respect, I’ve fought in the trenches of Republican politics for over two decades, but I wouldn’t pretend that I’m lord over determining who the real Republicans are versus the so-called RINOs," he said.

They are really getting defensive, aren’t they? They can choke on that word. They are politically dead meat.
Hey Huckabee... how about we replace it with this....

Nazi always want to ban words.
The irony here is amazing.
The guy wants to ban speech, political speech, but can’t figure out why people thing he’s a big government ‘conservative’.
Hence RINO, it was easier than saying ‘big government conservative’, and it was more creative than calling them ‘statists’.
fat chance RINO
You’re right, Mike. From now on I’ll just use the term “Republican”, because it means the same thing. :)
Ok Hucks, your wish is my command. I’ll henceforth go with statist. Better??
Now, what sort of a person wants to ban words, Mr. Huckabee? I’ll give you a hint - it isn’t a conservative.
And the word: 0bamaCare
You say you want to BAN the use of a term? That sounds like restricting one's freedom of expression. Would you be proposing the employ of government to coerce this restriction? C'mon, you know you'd like to...
If the horn fits wear it!
Save your money RINO.
If Huckabee has gained weight, maybe he’s doing a “Reverse Christy”, making a statement that, no, Mike will not be running for the Presidency, or running for anything really, except his private refrigerator. I thought RINOs were known to have thicker skin.
He mentioned this on his Saturday night show. He looked a little ticked off when someone tweeted him calling him a RINO.
lol - A lot of people don’t like the term ‘politically correct’ either but it’s a perfect description just like RINO.
Never thought he was a RINO. Pro Second Amendment, anti-abortion, pro-America, pro-military, decent God-fearing Baptist.
Is he really a RINO?
YOU'RE A RINO JACKWAGON HUCKABEE!
LOL...That was my first thought.
Huckabee reminded his readers that Jesus once said that “a house divided against itself cannot stand,” referring to the Gospel of Matthew.How utterly self-righteous, and him supposed to be a pastor at one time. Comes in with the canard of “(im)perfection” when it really is about what one stands for—there is imperfect and then there is wicked. Totally abuses Matthew 12:25, but seems to have forgotten Titus 3:10.
The possible 2016 Republican presidential hopeful concluded his essay with a folksy proverb. “I’d rather have a loyal dog who licks me than one with a pedigree who bites me,” he added. “I’d rather go to battle with someone who isn’t perfect than with someone who thinks he is.” …
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject …Another “folksy proverb” that applies more correctly: “If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything.”
Ronaldus Magnus once said “I did not leave the Democratic party, they left me.”
And so it has become with the “Republican in name only” branch, they have so many of us struggling and coughing in the dust raised in their haste to scramble to the left once again. The GOP-Elite are leaving us behind and embracing each of the extreme positions set out by the loons of the Far Left, one by one, and mocking those who have no “vision”.
When you set off to lead a parade, it is just common good sense to look back from time to time and see if anybody is still following you. Might be time for them to run around and find a new parade they can get in front of.
