I guess republicans like Eisenhower, Rockefeller, and even Nixon are turning over in their graves at what 'their' republican party has become. I guess that's why Julie Nixon gave money to the Obama campaign and supported him---oy.

In fact, the ACU rates Graham as a "standout" conservative:

But hey, if you want to bash Graham for being a RINO, go for it. Keep driving yourselves into the ground!

These are the type of people who would want to throw Collins & Snowe to the curb to run Coburn & Inhofe Republicans in Maine of all places....

Not only is old Lindsey failing to do his duty, according to Americans for Prosperity he recently came out with Jon Carry in support of Crap and Tax and was forced to back down by organized groups initiating phone calls from South Carolinians.

This man is fast becoming at least as bad as Olympia Snowe in supporting Democrats for all kinds of left leaning ideas. The real problem is that, like Obama, he has only used one year of his term. i don't know whether they have recall in South Carolina but if they do it is high time they used it.
Right on, I heard he doesn't even listen to Rush and was seen talking to a Catholic !

Huh? I know what RINO means. I'll ask again. Who determines who is a RINO and who is a real Republican? Is there a list of criteria I can consult?

He is one of those that thinks the republican party has to move to the democrat lite party. He keeps this up and he will be targeted to be voted out

Depends?

Are you a Rockefeller Republican?
Or are you a Reagan Republican?

It makes a very big difference.

The sames goes for Democrates.
Are you a Truman Democrat
or are you a Carter Democrat

Look how the two parties have changed since there first elected presidents, of Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln.

Looks like a flip-flop to me.
