SKUNCs — statists knowingly undermining national charters

Hmmm, good one. Why don't you park it over here, and leave the keys in it?

;)

Well, SKUNC is yours free to use. It was the winner in a contest to come up with a suitable replacement for RINO.

The reason for the contest in short: When an elected official in a constitutional republic becomes convinced that he thinks for his constituency, and then he gets to stay in office in large measure due to “rewards” from deep pocket special interests and/or media, and it’s proven time and again that his feeling is correct that he is no longer accountable to the voters, he becomes a Platonic republican (elitist, by dint of getting to rule) rather than a constitutional republican and public servant. So he laughs at our ignorance in calling him a republican in name only.

EV: I think I may have forgotten to alert you to this. It is possible such an acronym provides you something with which to contrast the problem with the whole Republican Party as it has been manipulated. Maybe use it carefully, with a mix of your earnestness and some good humor.
