Perhaps Medved is correct, these Rinos are plain old everyday liberals.
Medved is a liability to the conservative movement.
Okay, a practical question.
What should a RINO voter do (i.e., any Republican from a Northeast city) who agrees with the war on terror, lower taxes, etc., but disagrees on social issues? Those are the Republicans I meet here in Philly. Should they vote D?
Would Freepers prefer to jettison those voters from the party?
“Suppose someone seeking the presidential nomination had, as a governor, signed the largest tax increase in his state’s history and the nation’s most permissive abortion law. And by signing a law institutionalizing no-fault divorce, he had unwittingly but substantially advanced an idea central to the campaign for same-sex marriages — the minimalist understanding of marriage as merely a contract between consenting adults to be entered into or dissolved as it suits their happiness. “Question: Is it not likely that such a presidential aspirant would be derided by some of today’s fastidious conservatives? A sobering thought, that, because the attributes just described were those of Ronald Reagan.”
-George Will
Medved just got schooled by a caller today...hahaha
