Reno Mayor Bob Cashell, a former Republican state chair...

...backed Harry Reid in the 2010 campaign. Cashell is not only not a RINO, he's not a Republican, any more than Reid or his mobster friends are.

Cashell is not only not a RINO, he's not a Republican, any more than Reid or his mobster friends are

I think that that is the very essence of RINOsity.

Correct. There are three classes of RINO:

1. Your basic Garden Variety RINO who, at least, has the sense to realize a healthy private sector is necessary to generate the taxes necessary to support the nanny state. These are people like Rudi Guilani, Bob Dole, the Bush family, the Romney family and Arnold.
   
2. Your Vichy Republicans who will do what their liberal overlords assign to them, but don't go out of their way to seek opportunities to cooperate. John McCain is the best example.
   
3. Your Quisling Republicans who delight in not only in stabbing conservatives in the back at the worst possible time, but also RINOs and Vichy Republicans. Colin Powell is the best example here.

Cashell is Quisling. Worse than Vichy Republicans and worse than RINOs.
