Exactly why am I a RINO? I would really like the definition so I can understand.

First of all Miss Marple, I was not calling you a 'RINO', I was responding to EV's comment "We're already over our RINO quota anyway." when I said 'We are NEVER over our RINO quota' --- I assume you mean bag limits?, i.e., I was commenting on the number of liberal-RINOs and other assorted malcontents that have been rightly banished over the past 24 hours.

As you know, RINO stands for 'Republican In Name Only', meaning someone who CALLS themselves a Republican, but has nothing but shifting sand for principles, overeagerness to appease and make deals with DemocRATs, always 'compromising, compromising, compromising', and NEVER standing up and saying "this far, and no further!".

That definition is probably not complete, but that's strictly top-of-my-head for this specific post.

In conclusion, one would NEVER refer to Ronald Reagan as a 'RINO', nor Jesse Helms, nor Duncan Hunter, just to name three great conservative Republicans.
