Of course, THAT term bounces right off them, so perhaps we need to come up with a new one for them: how about "CINO's" -- pronounced "chino's --as in Conservatives In Name Only....or Christians In Name Only, take your pick.

Good Sir, I just read your profile and respectfully submit that YOU are not a RINO. YOU'RE the real deal -- it's the radical authoritarians cynically masquerading as conservatives who are the RINO's.

Can we stop playing the game on their false terms, legitimizing them with the title "conservatives?" They are the OPPOSITE -- radical authoritarians cynically masquerading as conservative. Let's call them what they ARE: "CINO's." (Conservatives In Name Only, Christians In Name Only, take your pick.)

I was playing Robert Macnamara in a production of "All The Way" several years ago, and even though its events take place in 1964, a friend gave me a copy of your book about the political scene in '68 for research. It was excellent!
