OK, I keep seeing this DINO reference and it gives me the willies... |
|
1. I don't know what DINO means. 2. It's my name and it makes me sad to see my name used as a derogatory remark.

2. Democrats in Name Only. |

It refers to those who vote like Republicans most of the time.

5. DINO = Democrat In Name Only |
|
Zell Miller is the classic example.
Don't know what to do about your name.

10. Don't write your name in all caps |
|
with periods between the letters, and nobody will confuse the two.

The far-right wing of the Repugnantcan Party uses the term "RINO" to refer to "moderate" members of the party. (In that instance, "moderate" may be safely assumed to mean "anyone who dares to think for himself and not make a meal out of the horseshit typical strewn about by the neocons and scumdamentalists.")

I know quite a few who consider themseleves Repugs but they do not realize that they receive no benefit for this stance. They truly have gained more fron previuos Democratic principals but do not understand this.

16. RINO, here. I wear the right-wing tag line proudly... |
|
It separates me from the nutjobs that have taken over the Republican party. I actually saw some of these nuts on Scarborough last night saying the Tsunami tragedy is another sign of the soon-to-be Apocalypse/rapture.
I remember when we used to hospitalize these people on schizophrenic wards with religious delusions...sadly, they are actually given air time today. Loony tunes with power!
Thanks to the Dems/other DU members for making me feel welcome and providing some great discussions. I think we RINO types will continue to gravitate to places like DU and the Democratic party as HOPE for the future.
