Condi is not a RINO unless the definition of RINO encompasses the entirety of our elected representatives and at least 80% of the grassroots. If so, than everyone is a RINO save the purified few.
Further, she has declared she isn't even running.
Lastly, you miss the entire point. For all the whining people have done the past week about Condi it is McCAIN that stands to split the party in half. Proving a difference in opinion isn't the sticking point for the majority here, but rather the character of the candidate. Even Rudy is currently pulling 70%. So I don't want to hear anymore that McCain is our only hope to win in '08. It isn't true.
Anyone who supports abortion is a RINO...sorry, that's my opinion and I am sticking to it.
I would have to be TORTURED to vote for Hillary. Her first goal would to be to pack the Supreme court and ALL the courts with liberals. The thought of Hillary, Bill, and Hollywood being back in the White House makes me sick.
Bush made a campaign appearance in my area back in October, and McCain was there, traveling with him. He gave an introductory speech, hugged Bush and praised him profusely.
I will fight against McCain in the primaries...BUT
BUT, BUT,
If it is a choice between McCain and Hillary...
I WILL vote McCain...the freedom of America is more important than my feelings for McCain.
Hillary is the most dangerous person in Amerioca right now. I will not sit out the vote and enable her to take office.
If Hillary & Bill get elected, you will live to regret that statement.
It may be your opinion but it is false.
Being a "republican" and being a "conservative" are not one and the same. One refers to party, one refers to ideology. Sometimes the two are joined to our benefit in common goals, sometimes we diverge.
This is one reason I am not a Republican. I support them but cannot promise allegiance above all to Party, where I will define myself as a conservative.
