	Republican In Name Only - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republican In Name Only, or RINO, is a disparaging term for a member of the Republican Party ("GOP") of the United States whose political views or actions are perceived to be too far beyond what some GOP conservatives consider to be mainstream conservatism.
		Accordingly, the term does not imply that the Republicans in question are Democrats, Libertarians or independents—they are still recognized GOP members, unlike Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont, who was called a RINO until he left the party in 2001.
		Putative RINOs sometimes reply that they are "Raging RINOs" - Republicans / Independents Not Overdosed (on the Party Kool Aid)[4] "Kool Aid" in the name is a reference to the mass suicide in the Jonestown cult.

		Rumsfeld, Thomas was the only justice who fully embraced the Bush administration's arguments that the detention of enemy combatants was part of the president's war powers and should not be restricted by the Court.
		Chemerinsky also believes, however, that the impact of Republican domination of the other branches won't be felt on the Court until the next vacancy after Rehnquist, or the one after that.

		In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Republican Party in Midwestern states such as Indiana and Ohio was the eagle, as opposed to the Democratic rooster.

		This conservative Republican base is responsible for every one of the nationwide victories of the Republican Party in recent memory most notably the 1994 GOP landslide that swept Republican majorities into Congress.
		It is this Republican Party conservative base that is responsible for transforming it from a minority party during the 1950s-1980s into the majority governing party it has become today.
		Only last year, Bush and his top aides successfully and stealthily championed the appointment of liberal pro-abortion supporter Gerald Parsky as the de-facto chairman of the California State Republican Party in a bid to remake the California Republican Party in the Democrat Party's liberal image in order to make it more electable.

		These pretenders who carry the letter R in parentheses after their names are to a person are as sworn and committed to the doctrine of liberalism as any of their comrades across the aisle.
		But in a state whose Republican establishment has loyalty neither to its base nor to the national party, the whole concept of party loyalty is of little consequence anyway.
		If conservatives can unite and use their votes to send the RINOs to the party of their true allegiance, then, over time, the only damage they will be able to inflict on our party will be from without, as it is with the rest of the Democrats, and not from within.

		If conservatives, who loath liberal Republicans more than they hate left-wing Democrats, will stop looking at him as a RINO (Republican in Name Only) long enough to give him the party’s nomination in 2008, he’ll beat any ticket the Democrats can cobble together, including one headed by New York’s Sen.

		Although President Bush has assembled an impressive group of intellectual icons from a diverse field of expertise, it appears that their assignment is restricted to only "working out the details" of making sure the existing government bureaucracy survives.

	ConservativeTruth.org: Republican In Name Only - Brian W. Peterson, 2-3-02
		Only over time has the party been able to convince itself that elections are more important than principles, so we must find “moderates” to improve the Republican image.
		Whenever a liberal Republican wins the party’s nomination, conservatives usually hold their noses and vote for the Democrat-look-alike.
		The weakness of the Republican Party throughout the state has spiraled downward to the point that someone as repulsive to Republican values as Richard Riordan is about to become the party’s nominee for the highest state office.

	The Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party - OD Board
		They succeeded and the California State Republican Party, previously one of the most conservative in the country is now under the de facto control of a man who has savaged all pro-life Republicans - including GOP gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon - as extremist.
		This massive rift between the Bush- championed liberal leadership of the California Republican Party and the Party's grassroots led by Bill Simon threatens to abort the chances of a GOP victory in November against liberal Democrat Gray Davis.
		I hereby urge all conservative Republicans to unite in support of their respective conservative primary contenders and take a stand against the White House's attempt to defeat solid pro- life conservatives with their own hand-picked center-left candidates in the GOP primaries.

	Word Spy - RINO
		The Republicans were moving out and the Democrats and "RINOs" (Republicans In Name Only) were moving in.
		This term is an acronym based on the phrase Republican in name only, and it's an epithet likely to be hurled quite often in the coming U.S. election season.
		And, yes, the opposite creature also exists: the DINO (1994) is a Democrat in name only, meaning a member of the Democratic party who is viewed as being too conservative.

	Republican Court in Name Only? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.
		And by cloaking that authorization in the forms of the law - in the name of the Supreme Law of the Land - the Court has taught the American people that such private violence is a right and, by clear implication, that it is alright.
		If Bush nominates ONLY decent conservatives, and is followed by another president (2008-2012) who does the same, we have a fair chance of turning things around.

		Republicans for Humility, which advocates the return to the unifying American values of humble foreign policy, constitutional government, and respect for individual liberties, and stands in opposition to the recent dominance within the Republican Party of policies favoring unilateral military expansion, empire, and the accompanying erosion of civil liberties.

		It is incredible to me, a mix of liberal and conservative Democrat, that the California Republican Party is too stubborn and backward to figure this out and to develop moderate superstars like Riordan to revive the state party.
		I wish I could give all the “Riordan isn’t a Republican” crowd copies of the LA Weekly from 1992, when Mayor Dick was presented as the most craven of influence-peddling, Old Guard Catholic, right-wing rights-abusing firebreather we’d seen in a generation.
		Some Republicans and conservatives turned on him because it seemed his whole campaign boiled down to, “Y’all are too extreme to be elected.” That sentiment is true, of course, but it’s a hard way to win a primary.
