And then they whine about it afterwards.

Most of the whining around here comes from people who incessantly bitch about RINOs but never do anything effective to defeat them.

FWIW:
Origin
Celeste Greig, a long-time Los Angeles conservative Republican and leader of the California Republican Assembly, created the acronym RINO and designed buttons that bear the epithet. In 1994, she named former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan the “chairman” of the RINOs and former Congressman Michael Huffington the “vice chairman” of the RINOs. At this time, she bestowed each of them with the RINO button helping the term to become widely popular.

Although Celeste Greig popularized and promoted the term RINO, it originated on the Free Republic Internet site and was created by Regina Rabin, a researcher and political independent. Ms. Rabin was a “lurker” but not a member of that conservative site during the Clinton years. The Free Republic site topic at the time asked for a term to describe a Republican who did not think or vote like a Republican. Since Ms. Rabin was not registered to the site, she submitted the term “RINO”[Republican In Name Only] neither donkey nor elephant, to the first registered member and poster who had an e-mail address available. Within a day of submission, the term was in use and has been widely used since. For verification:Jim Robinson,the founder of Free Republic site. [Fact-November 22,2009]

So I’m thinking maybe Jim made it pretty clear back when what this place is about. He was right then, and he’s right now.
