Brownback is one of the most conservative Senators. Just because he has a difference on one issue (and I'm not sure about that) doesn't make someone a RINO.

This RINO name is much misused.

This is the third post I've tried to explain what I'm saying: he's a RINO on border issues. He may be a conservative on everything else but what good is it when you're giving the country away?

You say it's only one issue but take a look at some of the immigration threads and see how much support there is for the McCain, Ted Kennedy, Sam Brownback amnesty. That is the most destructive bill to have been written let alone supported by so-called conservatives.

Since you haven't convinced the Republican party on borders, it is not being a Republican in name only to not agree with you on borders. The reality is, the anti immigration issue splits both parties, with union types among the Dems pitted against coastal left wingers, and populist Republicans pitted against free trade business Republicans. The Republican party position on the borders is that of George Bush, not that of Michael Savage.

I agree. Immigration is a HUGE issue - I know Mexicans here who are ready to give Texas back to Mexico. They don't recognize that we fought a war and won. Fox wants 1/2 of Mexico to come here so it can become Mexamerica.
