Another one down the primary list.
Yeas, they must become hip hopping, baby killing, fudge packing European socialists. And stop listening to Rush.
R-I-N-O
Is there a definitive list?
At least when they open their mouths we know who they are. No longer do we need to wonder RINO or not?
make a list... the elections are coming.
Who cares what Pawlenty thinks? This guy showed his colors during the last election.
I think we need to move beyond lame-o double-speak politicians like Pawlenty and back to solid conservative ideas exemplified during the Reagan era.
What a bad joke...!
Just my personal list. So far it’s:
1.Palin
2.DeMint
3.Sanford
4.Jindal
Never-Ever list:
1.Romney
2.Huck
3.Jeb Bush
4.Crist
5.Paul
The Republican party was once ours and we have let the moderate boneheads take it from us. Now they are just being bullies. We should quit bickering amongst ourselves and confront them.
Reagan was the blueprint for victory for the Republican Party and for Conservatives.
To say we must look elswhere is utter nonsense, and Pawlenty knows it.
What a dope.
Steeeerike....yer out RINO!!!!!
And to think some wanted this moron to be McCain’s vp pick. Two peas in a RINO pod.
He should be locked in a room and made to listen to Rush 24/7.
What part of real conservative does he not understand?
I don’t think we need to move beyond, but we have to stop comparing everyone to Reagan, that is like comparing people to George Washington, it just can’t be done. Not saying, we still can’t learn from Reagan, but it is not fair to new people to set them up for a fall because they aren’t Reagan.
"I'll take 2008 Elections for $2000, Alex.""The Jeopardy answer is, 'Tim Pawlenty and his fellow RINOs.'"
"What is the proof that a lot of Republicans did not learn a thing from the 2008 election?"
Pawlenty was on mccain’s short list.
It seems clear the RNC leaders do not want republicans in the republican party.
Never thought much of Pawlenty before today.
Now I know I will never vote for him.
One less thing to consider down the road.
It seems that ever since President Reagan passed away, the country slowly went with him....
Pawlenty is exploring a possible Presidential run, eh?
Good luck with that!

Reagan is dead. The RINOs would like to bury Reaganism as well.
Oh..my...gosh. Hopefully, this is the last desperate gasp of the RINOs.
Palwenty was overseeing the Coleman recount and went on national radio to assure everyone that everything is fine and that we should all simmer down.
Yeah, well when they hand the seat over to Staurt Smalley I want to see Palwenty tell us how everthing went just swell.
IT IS TIME TO PURGE ALL THE RINOs!
Idiocy.*
I would be very happy with Republicans in fact and not simulated democrats.
Steele is an idiot if he still does not get DINO trumps RINO.
Obama ran as a DINO and won.
If she persists in legalizing the status of the illegals, I will work actively against her.
Let’s add Murkowski (RINO-AK) to that list.
Bookmarking to use in the future when some Pawlentybot insists he is a conservative.
you are correct
every person on Freerepublic.com MUST join their local GOP club/party to have the conservative voice heard.
Mr. Steele can not have RINO candidates without the support of the locals.
CONTROL THE LOCAL, CONTROL THE PARTY
RINO disease going viral.
I think Republicans should spend much less time fighting with each other, and much more time fighting with the fatuous Democrats.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If it is broke, and it is worth fixing, fix it.
If you try everything you can to fix it, and it can't be fixed, get someone who is better than you at fixing things to try and fix it.
If it becomes obvious that it ain't fixable, scrap it and build a new one. (Do what you can to make the new one better than the old one.)
One last possibility:
It's operable, but is in fact being wielded by your enemies against you, quit helping them maintain and operate it.
I’m a big fan of Mark Sanford.
good list.
I think our guv T-Paw should ride off into the sunset with Will Steger on his dogsled -in search of globull warming and Knute the polar bear.
Pawlenty Says Republicans Need to Move Beyond Reagan to Rebuild....
Want to ‘move’ beyond Reagan???....
Go join the Democrat Party...
I wouldn’t be so annoyed by this nonsense if it wasn’t for the fact that millions of Republicans wasted their vote by voting for exactly the kind of candidate the RINO’s and lefties wanted! We ran with an empty moderate who only showed passion when poking conservatives in the eye!
We already tried to move past Reagan by voting for McCain so it’s time to reassess our strategy and return to Reagan.
The Democrats are returning to FDR and the 1930’s, certainly Reagan and the 1980’s is more up to date! Of course, the Democrats true love is Karl Marx and his “ideas”.
Although I love Palin, her amnesty stance is a deal breaker for me. I won’t vote for anyone who is pro-amnesty for illegals. Every.
(And here we go assuming that there will BE another free election in America; I have my doubts.)
Pawlenty doesn’t understand the results of past elections: when Republicans stand on conservative ideas, they win. When they blur the distinction between Democrats and themselves, they lose.
I agree that by 2012 she needs to clearly address her position on the the border and immigration.
If she touts a McCain/Bush line we can still support another candidate. But I concur with you that this could be a deal-breaker.
Pawlenty once again shows what is wrong with Republicans.
The only three models of who can save the GOP are Reagan, Rush and Palin.
And all three are being trashed by the RINOs.
Before 2010’s elections, we will have a battle royale for the GOP. Despite soothing noises the RINOs make to conservatives, we can see with the defections of Spector, Collins, and Snowe on the porkulus bill that the GOP is not serious about opposing Obama. They are not onboard about the danger Obama is to America.
Steele, Pawlenty, McConnell and others still will not battle the Dims. They will cave on the 50 vote majority rule change—you’ll see.
Well, conservatives cannot back up anymore. If the GOP goes the way of the Whigs next year, so be it. No tears will be shed from here.
The conservative principles exhibited by Reagan, Rush and Palin are America’s only hope. Without those principles, America will fall into the mediocre level of failed experiments in liberty in human history. The rest of the world will applaud our fall, and no one will rescue us like we have rescued others.
Our generation has not been called to battle like our fathers and grandfathers for an ideal.
But we are being called.
Will we answer, for the sake of our posterity?
She had better do it well before 2012.
Pawlenty doesn’t even have to be a Ronald Reagan Republican to oppose the Democrats. All he has to do is object to the Dems’ squandermania.
