RINO originally had a partisan political meaning. This use of the term for Leftwingtard, or "Mind numbed, knee jerk, robot-like Liberal" is new ~ and is not at all a good substitute for either.

Perry was an elected Democrat public office holder. That is, by defintion, a RINO.

Being from Texas that's not surprising. Most Texans were democrats up until just recently when they discovered what had happened to the democrat party. Southern democrats were for the most part pretty conservative (that's why they voted for Reagan, a former democrat union leader). Things change, he switched parties, so he's not republican in name only. My dad was a democrat and he was the most conservative person in the world.

I haven't decided who I'm voting for yet (although I've been forced by fairness to defend Perry so much I'm beginning to really like the guy).

I got fooled by GWB so this time I'm being very careful. I have looked hard enough at Perry to know that he's not at all open borders, he won't grant amnesty (again like Reagan did) and we're going to be a lot closer to the solution then we have been before.

However, I have alway watched the Texas miracle and I know that Perry is behind a lot of it. I watched as the state workers changed, and how they all became ambassadors for the state. I think he has a lot of solutions to our financial problems and right now, I would prefer we get those under control first. I also like the idea of telling the world "look out, here comes another cowboy" just to watch their heads explode LOL
