Olag, according to the new Republican playbook, that would make Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes RINOsYou ever read The Conscience of a Conservative (the Goldwater book, not the Jeff Flake book of almost the same name)? What we refer to as RINOs today used to call themselves the "New Republicans". The only exception to the RINO paradigm would be Reagan, judging by his political record. The Bushes are notoriously RINO. (Why did you leave out Ford? He was on the RINO side.) Historically it would also make Lincoln, McKinley, TR, Grant and the rest also RINOs No. One must judge by the political record, whether it defends the Constitution or goes against it. And arguably, TR would be a proto-RINO judging by his "progressive" leanings. I would easily vote for a RINO over a Democrat because that so-called RINO would vote Republican 90% of the time That's a torturous bit of reasoning. Do you want them to vote "Republican" or vote pro-Constitution? because voting RINO means voting against the Constitution, just like Democrats do. It's also an acknowledgement of the existence of the Uniparty, which is hard to get out of you . . . |
