Title: Stop Using the Term RINO! aka Republican In Name Only!
Post by: mphgrove on January 10, 2021, 07:58:18 AM

RINO = Republican In Name Only


Think about it this way: now that the shoe is on the other foot, do you really want centrist Senators like Joe Manchin or Kirsten Sinema to be called a DINO and be required to do the bidding of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, with no right to reject the way further left policies?

RINOS and DINOS who can possibly team up for bipartisan moves forward:
Susan Collins
Mitt Romney
Pat Toomey
Lisa Murkowski
Joe Manchin
Mark Kelly
Kristen Simena
Amy Klobuchar

You can see a potential critical mass of centrists who could help us through these difficult times with the right initiatives. But let’s retire the language.

It's sad to me that we've come to the point in our history where any politician that votes their conscience rather than party line is labeled. That's what we should hope for from our representatives. If you look at a senators voting record and for the last10 years they've voted party line why even have a human there? Replace them with a computer or hell, a monkey that can push a blue or a red button when queued.

Millard Fillmore was a Whig in name only and also drank an excessive amount of cheap wine.

I got the joke and LFMAO. Only by looking up on Wikipedia, did I discover that he ran under the Know Nothing Party label after the Whigs started fizzling. The Know Nothings were getbiggers, railing against the Irish (and German?) immigrant scum, and certainly Jews and Blacks, although the Blacks were still enslaved and the Jews were not on the horizon here yet.

And then when they don’t, the people can just break into the Capitol and set them straight (sarcasm).

All liberals.  No where near centrists. Maybe by California standards

I acknowledge your point. But there are times when the people don't have the insight and the information you as their elected leader has. If your only job was to vote along party lines, you really aren't needed. I have offered a 10 year example. The reason is, yes, most of the time, like McCain, the vote is along party lines, but there are times when the party is just wrong for whats best for the country, not half the country, and you or at least I want people with the courage to vote for what's right for the country, not what the party wants.

If you think Romney is a liberal you might just not know what a liberal is.

I suppose you could argue that Klobuchar, Sinema and Kelly (Kelly on gun control) have some liberal bones in their body. I call those three moderates. But calling any of the others on the list liberals is absurd.
