ORIGINAL: housebitch777 why do we have to do that bullshit? dino? it is essentially redundant as that is why we call rhinos, rhinos. You cannot be a republican and be more liberal than a liberal....it makes no sense. stay the fuck out of peoples bedrooms, protect human and that includes their wallets, and read the constitution for what it says.....Which means the only the only thing republicans should be doing is repeal, and making the enforcement of our law simple and easy for everyone involved. Why? Because politics is money and power. That's why. If you look at politics, there are, basically, 2 things to look at: fiscal policy, and social policy. Typically, fiscal conservatives are in the Republican and Libertarian parties (though there are conservative Democrats, too) and fiscal liberals are generally found in the Democrat party. On social policy, Libertarians and Democrats are "liberal," and Republicans are conservative. Those are broad statements and don't always fit 100%, but it's a good guide. Ron Paul was a fiscal conservative, but supported freedom and liberty when it came down to social policy (staying out of personal lives). He ran under the Republican Party banner, but didn't hide that he was a Libertarian (it's doubtful he'd have gotten elected if he ran for the Libertarian Party because of the power wielded by the D and R parties). Ron Paul would be a RINO. Some people consider "Blue Dog" (conservative) Democrats DINO's.
