Bill Dog's Journal: Tea Party RINO

On the way to work this morning a co-host of some local radio station made an interesting point I thought. While "Republican In Name Only" traditionally meant a Liberal Republican, and therefore one who didn't really belong in the party, as the GOP nowadays seems to just want to be Democrat Lite, then to be a Republican is to be a moderate Progressive. Making me not a real Republican. Now I'm the RINO.

How do you judge a republican?

Duh! His handicap [wikipedia.org]...

Therefore, it's been all downhill since Eisenhower..

There are also the founding principles of the country, to which the GOP occasionally lays claim, and the party platform.
But we really do need a second major party in this country.
