You don't need to die to arrange for that to happen ~ it was a vacant job on FR so I took it.
And you, who are you to challenge me?

Following rational analysis she referred to RINO "pundits" ~ she misused the term RINO, but her other word, "pundit", certainly points to a target a tad different than any of the people running for the Republican nomination.
This is EVIDENCE if anything can ever be EVIDENCE concerning use of a word that clarity pays ~ and no, she didn't attack Mitt or Newt.
Remember, Newt is the guy who kicked the Democrats out of control of the House of Representatives where they'd been unchallenged for 40 years.
She did a bit of challenging in Alaska when it came to entrenched power brokers ~ which in her case were apparently corrupt Republicans (one of whom is still a Senator, the wholly execrable Lisa Murkowski).
Now, SoConPubbie, if Sarah is going to run for public office again I want her to have full and correct command of political terminology ~ you may think it's OK for her to go out unprepared but I don't!

She also wisely admitted that endorsements have very limited impact a lot of times. Ironically, due to her unique status and the nature of this race - an endorsement from her at the right time might actually have big time impact.
(for example, an endorsement of RS now might give him much needed legitimacy, or an endorsement of Newt could give him more tea party conservative cred, etc. Not saying she would do either, just thinking out loud about how she might make a difference ironically.)

I don’t totally buy our definition, but you are 100% right that it is very misused and over used and quite often abused as a personal rant.
My def would include folks like McCain and Graham and Snowe and others who use their attacks on other Republicans as a way to ingratiate themselves to the liberal media. In other words, these would be Republicans who are DEFINED by their “non” Republicanness or non conservatism. These would also be folks who have never done anything to promote the conservative or base Republican cause.
I think it’s more of a mindset than any particular issue or two.

Don't mislead FReepers with inaccurate blog posts if you want to keep posting here. This is all the clown does, post something designed to mislead and or be twisted.
His screen name might say conservative, but if he is, it is not reflected via the posts.

Watch yer mouth with the St. Sarah stuff, that you might regret! I think if she endorses anyone at all, she will endorse your Governor Perry! She’s partial to governor’s and I can’t see her endorsing Romney or Huntsman.
FWIW, I find her compliments of Ron Paul nauseating. Forget his fiscal policies. He’s a stark raving mad foreign policy lunatic.

Being a RINO has absolutely nothing to do with any previous party affiliation. It is solely a function of the policies an individual advocates and pursues.
A "RINO" is a person who supports a non-Republican agenda as defined by the Republican platform. That's all.
"ALL the RINOs ARE "Leftwingtards." Note the name "Republican In Name Only." That means their hearts, their minds and their beliefs are not aligned with what are traditional Republican ideals.
You got it dead wrong. Time to go back to school.

My definition covers Ron Paul (who is a Libertarian), a Senator in Alabama who won office as a Democrat, a Governor in Texas who won office as a Democrat, etc. Used to be a lot more of them like that but we eventually established a permanent Republican party in the Southern states.
We have OTHER very useful names to deal with their ideology and they should be used.
The dispute with Graham is that he's not quite a traditional Republican nor is he a traditional Liberal ~ guy has his own agenda.
Bloomberg causes us a similar problem.
McCain, though, as his pudgy daughter can attest (if she were ever honest for 10 seconds), votes according to what keeps the most cases of beer on the highways in Arizona ~ man has no other ideological touch stone. Makes him an political blood brother with Bloomberg.

You cannot explain Bloomberg and Paul with your definition. That’s why it is wrong. Actually, your explanation was always wrong ~ nearly a century ago it was still wrong.

Sure I can. Bloomberg is a liberal democrat who switched parties to become a Republican so that he could run for Mayor. He never changed his beliefs when he changed his party affiliation. He was, A REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY.
Ron Paul is not a RINO, he's a libertarian loon. ON the fiscal side, his ideals fall pretty close in line with traditional Republican beliefs, but he fails because of his "non-intervenionist" (read isolationist) foreign policy beliefs, but those do not make him a RINO, just a dangerously naive fool.
Classic, undeniable RINOs include Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Lincoln Chaffee and his father John Chaffee, Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javitts, Mark Hatfield, Lowell Weicker, Chuck Hagel, and let's not forget "Jumpin'" Jim Jeffords who actually made his status official by changing parties, and Arlan Spector who did the same in a futile attempt to save his sorry butt.

Your list of New England politicians consists of those who were once called ROCKEFELLER REPUBLICANS.
They were very real Republicans ~ still are, but they're all bats((+ crazy.
Their time has come and gone long ago.
Jeffords did what he did for a deal on milk price supports. That's not a big issue any more. He sold his reputation for curds. That makes him an idiot ~ you'd get headlines like this one: " Jun 28, 2006 Washington, DC U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today joined with Senator Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.), to introduce bipartisan legislation "
That's hardly bipartisan but it certainly doubled down on the elemental ideocracy those two could come up with.
