Let them go ahead and use the RINO label over and over and over again — pretty soon the term will be rendered useless. Actually, I think it already is.

Agreed. It's been used so much that it's meaning as been watered down to nothing. Now it means, "If I don't like you on a single issue or you're running against my FAVORITE candidate, you're a RINO".

The RINO label became useless for me once they started pinning it on Rick Perry. Hey, if Rick Perry is a RINO, then call me a RINO too!

RINO has never been a useful acronym, as The Republican Party has always had liberals.

CINO is arguably a better acronym, but I think cafeteria conservative is a more useful term. It pegs Bush43, a big spender weak on immigration, but strong on cutting taxes and national defense.
