The definition of RINO is whatever the soreheads want it to be. A RINO is someone who does not agree 100% percent with them and they have never won a race to decide who goes to buy the beer.
Precisely. Nothing in life is perfect. Least of all politics.
Back in the day we used to call RINOs Rockefeller Republicans. Republicans with really liberal voting records, mostly from the northeast. Senators like Lowell Weicker, Jacob Javits, Jim Jeffords, Arlen Spector, Edward Brooke, Olympia Snowe, Clifford Case, Charles Mathias, John Chafee etc.....I would hardly think a senator such as Pat Roberts should be categorized as a Rockefeller Republican or a RINO. Simply ridiculous.
