They are all RINO’s. Apparently, Clinton prefers the Gingrich Rino to the Romney Rino. Probably because he thinks Gingrich will be easier to beat.

didn’t the DNC also defend Newt?

Any day now maybe he’ll get the La Raza endorsement Perry was hoping for.

That should boost his poll numbers. lol.

Of course. Newt Gingrich gets praised for taking a liberal position on immigration. Bubba likes him now because Gingrich is no longer a conservative. That’s faint praise from the Bent One!

It is possible that the Libs are trying to smear Newt with an sideways endorsement by Clinton...and it might work with many in the GOP.

They want Mitt because they know Obama will murder him. Mitt is the whitest of white bread...and the dullest possible match for Obama.

This is some sort of reverse jujitsu revenge for Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos, isn’t it?

He's articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden Clinton said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

RINOs = liberals. Nothing new. In general RINOs are internationalists, establishment Republicans who I remember as Rockefeller Republicans. I do not believe that Taft Republicans and any before that would be so maligned.

During election 2004 the war in Vietnam was oft-dicsussed here, that was a nuisance for some -- I recall one reply stating the hope that the old people would die soon so there would be no more talk about that war.

OK, but Viet Nam was about whose America will survive. Bush v. Kerry was not unlike the 1960s and the survival of our Republic.

IMO the primary today is not unlike the 1964 Goldwater v. international establishment Republicans (Rockefeller Republicans).

I don't know who Goldwater is but Romney and Gingrich are sure looking like Rockefeller and Scranton to me. We Goldwater supporters helped one of his major supporters to become president in 1980. I attended a Reagan primary speech for Goldwater in 1964.

I had forgotten the insulting "Scranton letter" delivered to Goldwater in July 1964 at the San Francisco convention. The Scranton letter lays out what establishment Republicans think of the likes likes of Goldwater -- and Reagan as some appear to be distancing the Party from him.

The whole thing is here

The letter read "[you (Goldwater)] stand for Goldwaterism instead of Rpublicanism . . .Goldwaterism has come to stand for nuclear irresponsibility. . .keeping the name of Eisenhower out of our platform. . .being afraid to forthrightly condemn right-wing extremists. . .refusing to stand for law and order in maintaining racial peace. In short, Goldwaterism has come to stand for a whole crazy-quilt colection fo absurd and dangerous positions that would be soundly repudiated by the American people . . . ."

Scranton suggested that Goldwater should debate him at the convention lest Goldwater was (after months of campaigning!) afraid to "face the nation."

The Rockefeller - Scranton establishment Republicans refused to campaign for the Republican Party ticket if I remember correctly.

Nothing has changed vis-a-vis the Party establishment and everyone else.

Not all acknowledged Republicans are "bad." From a NYTimes Tom Wicker report, July 1964:

Today, [Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen] the Illinois Senator said, "it is the fashion of our critics to sneer at patriotism, to label positions of strength as extremism, to find other nations' points of view right more often than our own."

"Perhaps too long the bugles have sounded 'retreat' in our relations with other lands," he said . . . [T]hrough the sure hand, Barry Goldwater, the grandson of that immigrant frontier peddler, could retrieve" the self-respect of America.

BTW you can no longer get anything out of the Teim (or whatever) web site without punishement of having to have the hardcopy deliverd to your door and paying $30/year for it. You can get a week's access for $4.95 I think. The advantage of paying $257.40/year is you do not have to look at the hardcopy.

Fifty years ago Time was a real news magazine and kind of functioned as the Internet does today to "get the real story."

No more. It's "Obama, Obama! Ummm, ummm, umm! Oh, Gracious God, Thank You So Much! It’s such a blessing to be able to serve you, Mr. President. Thank you for taking time out of your day! Oh, gracious God, thank you so much!" Time is just another part of the state compliant undistinguished media (SCUM).

This is from before having to pay and is what I remember watching the convention and this is how real back-then-news-magazine Time reported it.

Pay site now.

"While Everett Dirksen was nominating Barry Goldwater, both Cronkite [CBS] and Huntley [NBC] interspersed their own voices, passing comments and judgments on what Dirksen was saying, not giving the man a chance to deliver his speech as a whole. . . The networks have also to a considerable extent shut out the great [Goldwater] ground-swelling noises of the convention hall. Sound is half the atmosphere there, and it is thick enough to cut, but TV merely cuts it off or down . . . Spending all their time fussing over the latest developments among the sorry pack of obvious also-rans [Rockefeller, Scranton, et al], they made no real attempt to concentrate on the man [Goldwater] who had the nomination sewed up from the start. The TV coverage before the first ballot was largely focused on Scranton."
