Who’s the RINO?
17th September 2010
Personally, I am tired of the term “RINO.” Some on the right are quick to label anyone a RINO who disagrees with them, about anything. And yet there are times when the term really does apply.
No shit.
A true Republican in name only is not a politician with a conservative foundation but also a sprinkling of moderate or liberal views on certain issues. John McCain is a good example of that type. A RINO is a politician for whom politics is not a matter of ideology, and the party is only the means to a self-gratifying end. Mike Castle, it appears, may be in that category.
I think that’s too generous to McCain.

I think it’s safe to say that McCain is a RINO. He says he’s a maverick. OK I’ll give him that. He’s a maverick RINO. He votes with republicans once in a while.
