Republican in Name Only (RINO)

[ImpBill]

Years ago the word "moderate" and "Republican" were no where near synonymous. These days they they seem to define the Republican part. That is why I am no longer a big "R" Republican, rather a little "r" republican.

Fred Thompson may be the last great hope for the Republic for which I stand!

"have left them little more than an afterthought in the party"

These guys don't have a friggin' clue.

Gettin' rear-ended by "moderate" Republicans constantly over the years is probably how Iowa ended up with a socialist Democrat as Governor. At least he's open and honest about how he's going to eff-up the state.

GRRRRR! These people piss me off. The words "moderate" and Republican should never appear in the same sentence.

‘Moderate,’ huh? Tell you what. I’ll bake these moderates a batch of browmies with only a ‘moderate’ amount of dog poo in ‘em. Then let’s see how they like the taste of ‘moderation.’

Cowards.
Weasels.
Traitors.

"The moderates who are out there, they've been rather quiet for a few years. Many of them have dropped out of the party or become independents,

That should be encouraged.

What’s wrong with this story? Shouldn’t so-called “moderates” be happy with Rooty?

"Our goal is to get traditional centrist moderate Republicans to get to the caucus and make their voices heard," said former Iowa Lt. Gov. Joy Corning.

In other words, flood the caucuses, you liberal RINOs !

"The moderates who are out there, they've been rather quiet for a few years. Many of them have dropped out of the party or become independents...

Good riddance!

RINOS out!

Dang it, I don’t want any Republicrats running for President. Once next year’s election rolls around we’ll end up having to choose between Dumb and Dumber.

[AmericanInTokyo]

The unfortunate, unmovable reality is that we need their votes in November (if we have a Conservative at the helm), so we ought to be charitable in our comments about them.

But I DON'T want them runnin' the show this time around. No more Bush-Dole-Bush RINO stuff for me.

[Manic_Episode]

Moderates...Phhhht...a liberal is a liberal is a liberal.

A rose by any other name still smells like crap.

[Redcloak]

Republican moderates look to chart new course in Iowa

Why? Is there something wrong with their tried-and-true course for electoral defeat? It's worked so well for all these years.

[Nextrush]

Are they panting for McCain, a candidate with a “broad appeal.”

The man who wouldn’t “torture” a fly.

I don’t say that lightly.

My congressman, Todd Platts (R-19th District PA), endorsed McCain earlier this year.

Congressman Platts is a member of the RINO “Republican Main Street Partnership.”
