Overall, there is a very broad base that can be used in describing a republican, or a conservative. However, some people like to claim to be conservative and are not, and some people like to claim to be republicans but are not.
Political parties will shift in their ideology.
But I will not compromise my principles, and I vote for the best conservative I can find. I do not go by the party label.
As for the Regan quote, I like it - a lot. BUT we all need to remember that if you agree with someone else 100% of the time, you probably aren’t thinking!
So what if the RINO’s run to the dark side when they get called out? It’s better that way for everyone.
I’d prefer to know exactly where a politician stands (if that’s possible) that to have them fake being a Republican and then vote Democrat on everything. If they think like a Democrat and vote like a Democrat, then they’re certainly not a Republican.
They are what they are: RINO’s. Oh, and Ahnold is not just a RINO, he’s a girlee-man RINO.
