Sorry, but I don’t need scolding nor an education about what and who a RINO is. Most Senators (R) are. Notable exceptions: two from OK and one from TN. Other than that, the Senate (R) caucus is pretty well (or badly) infested.

Needs a barf alert IMO.

Where's the huge RINO BARF BARF BARF alert?

But if you just oppose legal equality for homosexuals in general....

Legal equality? They can marry just like anyone else. But they can't legally marry someone of the same sex, and neither can I. It's all equal. So according to whoever these clowns are you have to support legal gay marriage to be a "real Republican"???

These people are full of it. They don't even deserve the name "RINO". Change it to RETARD, 3rd Class.

by the same logic a true Republican cannot support the Defense of Marriage Act or similar state laws which single out groups for preferential rights based on sexual orientation. How you resolve that issue — be it allowing gay marriage or civil unions or just ending the government role in marriage entirely — is a matter for legitimate debate. But if you just oppose legal equality for homosexuals in general...

I'm disappointed to see such inconsistency coming from the Liberty Caucus. I oppose the DOMA -- I oppose ANY government involvement in marriage -- but their argument is false. There are no "preferential rights." Heterosexuals and homosexuals already have perfect, exact legal equality (aside from hate crimes laws that specifically shield gays). It's dishonest for this writer to claim some disparity where none exists.

YES WE CAN,

Libertarians are fine (inface I am a member of the RLC), but when they go on a tangent attacking “moral conservatism” they’re out of line..

The Left through the courts are what forced conservatives to focus on social issues in the first place. They are the agressors, if we got back to the Constitution (and balanced court authority, including in “law” (legal prescedent), then they wouldn’t matter as much.

Libertarians NEED to realize this rather than trying to denegrate the social conservative side of the equation, IMO. They’ll lose unless they UNIFY (with other factions on the right, espeically because many people, including me fall into more than one ‘conservative’ category)!

They really ought to be called RINOState, based on their advocacy of positions which are based on a moralistic, statist philosophy which is antithetical to traditional Republican values.

What rot! Moralism isn't alien to "traditional Republican values." The problem with this "RINO" talk is that people like Nalle use it to very narrowly define "true" Republicanism as "what I like or believe."
