However, you do not make a point of proudly declaring how you registered republican, like a certain yellowdogger on this site. I do not believe that uscitizen has ever pulled the lever for a person with an R next to their name except one guy during a local election. If there ever were a RINO, it would be he.
Which changes absolutely nothing about my point. You do not, in fact, run around proudly proclaiming your affiliation with a party you do not vote for.
Cracks me up that the guy is whining about big government. Nobody grew the government bigger that bush. Check out this article, from the Washington Times yet.
"George W. Bush rode into Washington almost eight years ago astride the horse of smaller government. He will leave it this winter having overseen the biggest federal budget expansion since Franklin Delano Roosevelt seven decades ago."

Cool 'nuff. I do like the attitude of people who vote in their own political interest for people who are running rather than for or against a party.
I understand why you do it, because the R primaries are the only place you get a voice in your local government as the R is going to win. There are many here who do the same, but it doesn't make them other than RINO.
I'll let USC defend that point. But then some idiot will start spewing some cockamamie line that if youj don't follow the hard right political line that your a Rino. What bullshit. You're a Republican if you vote and support for republican. It's incredbily stupid of the right wingers in the Republican party to question the motives of others. Alls it accomplishes is chasing people out of the party and makes it sifficult for them to win elections.
I voted for Perot too. I still agree with many of his views. In retrospect, it was a mistake voting for him.
I used to think just exactly that but as the views became farther and farther to the hard right, It just got to the point where it was not in my best interest to support most Republicans. I had no choice but to switch affiliations.
As if DINO is something you've never heard. I do note that you do not remove that mote in your own eye before pointing out the splinter in the others... Why is it crazy for the rightwingers to question such a thing, but you ignore the same activity within the party you are a member of.
