I want to FReepers to stop using the term RINO as a disparaging term for liberal/moderate Republicans. Because it is so insulting to the noble, real rhinoceroses.

Let's start using the more appropriate term DIABLO = Democrats In All But Label Only. For further clarification DIABLO in Spanish means devil which these liberal/moderate republicans are.

Thank you for your support.

While cute and funny I prefer “SOCIALIST REPUBLICAN” because it is what they are.

Eh, I’ve mostly dropped using those labels this election cycle because currently I don’t really have much hate for other Republican voters of any stripe, I hate the globalist shills who fund candidates that dupe us all over and over again.

RINO has just become a word for “guy I don’t like” at this point, where arguing principles becomes angels dancing on the head of a pin, and then, like clockwork, the people who get elected, Tea Party, establishment, whichever, just sit back and collect money to do nothing while we all fight.

“Globalist scum” is my insult de jour, and it applies to almost everyone in elected office at this point.

I think we have been using RINO in the wrong context. It describes our nation perfectly, Republic In Name Only.

DIABLO is cute however ‘in all but’ and ‘only’ are redundant. Also, I see Diablo as one entity. Can’t see a pack of them as I picture a heard of rhinos. I vote with stick with RINO. It is more concise and it is established.

That's the first thing I thought of, too.

What do we call the RINOS on the far right? I think Diablo would be a little to harsh.

“Trump is a Diablo”

Let’s see, how many Democrats want to build a wall? Repeal Obammcare? Stop Common Core? Delay SCOTUS nominee? Cut taxes?
Build the military? Drill our own oil? Protect second amendment? Deport illegals? Stop anchor babies? Cut business regs? Stop corporate inversion? Balance trade? Reduce the debt?

Yep, he’s a Democrat.

Hey Bjorn,

Do you live in Norway? If so, I think you might be my cousin.

TrumpTariffs will make your “cut taxes” and reduce regulation claims a joke.

If you want to tank the economy, Go Trump.

“I thought you gave up on FR eons ago. Glad to see you still lurking around.”

Oh I never “gave up” on FR, I maybe sort of went away for a while when I lived in the Philippines. So what’s your take on the election? I vote next Tuesday in the MN caucus.
