In California Senate primary, Republicans fear RINO label

WASHINGTON — In California and across the nation, it's open season on RINOs.

For many conservatives, there's nothing worse than being a RINO — that's a Republican In Name Only, a moderate, a politician who's allegedly squishy on core principles and a little too independent.

When California Republicans go to the polls to choose a Senate candidate next month, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore says he'll be the only non-RINO on the ballot.

He says both of his challengers, former Rep. Tom Campbell and former businesswoman Carly Fiorina, are true RINOS: Campbell because he backs gun control, abortion rights and gay marriage, among other things; and Fiorina because she cozied up to Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain during his 2008 presidential campaign and then spoke in favor of a plan to curb global warming.

Conservatives say there are far too many RINOs in the national Republican Party, epitomized by moderates such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudy Giuliani.

Arnold has denied GOP support to EVERY conservative candidate for statewide office

So we agree that Carly is no Arnold.

So we agree that Carly is no Arnold.

Absolutely not. She'll go with virtually every globalist treaty and crooked corporate scam put in front of her, doing exactly as she's told, just as Arnold does. So Carly is every bit the placeholder RINO stooge Arnold is.
