To entertain myself, I will drop in to some of the liberal web sites such as DU, Politico etc.
I have observed viewpoints from extreme left to not so extreme left to almost left of center. But rarely, if ever, I have seen the word DINO thrown around.
Actually there are more registered democrats than republicans in the country. And democrats are a more diverse conglomeration ranging from rich white liberals, blue collar, blacks, Hispanics, militant feminists, recent immigrants, yuppies, Muslims, welfare dependents, etc.
Yet, it is rare for one democrat to turn on another. Whereas I see the word RINO used constantly. Whatever happened to Reagan's 11th commandment (or was it Buckley's commandment)?
On conservative blog sites such as FR, what I see is we dislike more candidates than we like by a ratio of 10:1. I wonder if this is a smart policy.

That’s because they all believe that government is a money spigot. They’re only disagreement is whose pocket it goes into.
It is because the Demo-rats have mastered Cronyism....
Good. To use it makes one seem simple minded. They should stop altogether.
I remember several years ago I had to ask here what DU was. I had no idea. It didn’t take long for fellow freepers to educate me about what a vile place it was.
The Democrats and the Mainstream Press have done a good job of painting the Republicans as extremist while they've been going to the extreme left themselves.
Right now the Democrats ideal is for children is to be high on pot and having homosexual sex. And if they stray into heterosexual sex, the Democrats can absolve them with their sacrament of abortion payed at the taxpayers expense.
They rarely break ranks or leave party line.
Our party line of GOPe is perverted and twisted (not in public or party interest)
I recall Obama attacking Lieberman on Senate floor because he was rebuffing him on something, possibly trying to help Hillary against him in 2008.
How often does a Rat come across the aisle to help out the Republicans on an issue? I mean when it really counts, not when their vote won’t make a difference.
That’s because they purge their party of any who don’t conform to their group think ideology..................
Zell Miller was a Democrat who used to be held up as an example.
And Joe Lieberman was run out of his own party.
Didn’t Ed Koch endorse GW Bush in 2004?
another word you’ll never hear anyone call a democrat is “hypocrite”.
“Our party line of GOPe is perverted and twisted (not in public or party interest)”
The entire Dim Party is perverted and twisted , and it is the party line. In other words, it’s homo-genous.
Down with Tyranny is a good blog where they bash any Democrat to the right of Mao. Sometimes there is dissent on DU Underground on immigration.

@repjohnbarrow- Earlier today someone suggested Democrats use @SenatorSessions words as an ad. Cowardly bigots like Barrow is why they can’t
The last passable “moderates” were run out in 2010 after they voted for Obamacare with some “promise” that abortion would not be part of it.
There hasn’t been a conservative Dem at the national level in years.
They instead called Lieberman everything else when he supported Bush in the Iraq war, which most Democrats voted in favor of and then said they were against. DINO is too polite a term for them.
A RINO is just another democrat, so it doesn't apply.
Of course “DINO” is not used.
RINO is used to describe Republicans without conservative principals.
Democrats have no principals to be without.
The Democrat Party is just about grabbing all you can or causing harm to those you don’t like.
Ironically, it may be the very patchwork structure of the party that makes such cohesion and control possible. There's no overall vision or philosophy: each group wants something. It's easier for members of different racial or ethnic or economic or ideological factions to get together to vote for each other's pet projects than it would be if some factions were opposed on principle to more government, more taxation, and more spending.
Democrats are NOT a more diverse party. Democrats are white liberal elites propped up victim groups they give money our money to...
The late, great radio host Terry Anderson used to talk about this. Democrats give their base just what it wants. Republicans, on the other hand, seem to look down on their base and work against them. Pushing amnesty, for instance.
