I believe we should re-define the pejorative "RINO". IMO, a RINO is a registered Republican who is actively working to elect other democrats and is actively promoting the democratic slate in a campaign. For instance, in PA we have Barbara Hafer, who is registered Republican, and she got in a snit cause the PA Republican Party wouldn't promote her for governor, so she endorsed the Democratic candidate for governor (Ed Rendell, and he won) and is currently endorsing the Democrat Ed Onorato for our current Pittsburgh big race of the moment, Allegheny County Commissioner. THAT is a RINO -- NOT Arnold Schwarzenegger, who supports some liberal issues but is working within the Republican party.

I voted for Arnie by post....

Just went to take a look at my local polling station.

On the outside door they had the complete voter list stapled up with those voting by 11am lined out.

Seems to me it would be easy for anyone to take a look and get a name and addres then go into the station to make a false vote....even repeat this later in the day.

Any comments....?

I guess I could take a pic of this for the record....maybe hang around outside to see if anyone does this....

Rediculous.

That was no RINO, that was a witch who is vindictive and should be puniched by the Republican party for her immaturity.

A RINO is a person who is a Republican only in name and supports issues that are not party platform. That is the definition. (this reminds me of the very Clintonian "is" redefinition)

I cant believe what I am seeing around here.
