RINO Sightings

RINOs want problems solved, not perpetuated. Our illustrious temporary Commissar submits the first entry with Nine ER's Closed In 5 Years In LA; Unpaid Care Costs Of $1.6 Billion A Year - A Case Study In Stupidity, which talks about perpetuating versus solving problems.



Techography has much much more, including specific details, on the illegal immigration picture.



In the same vein, Generic Confusion submits Bush's Health Care Proposal, an analysis of the advantages and limitations of the president's health care plan. I find myself actually sorry that it's politically DOA as he seems to have taken a sane approach grounded in economic reality.



RINOs won't tolerate nonsense. Your host covers some contradictions in a poll. Apparently, few people think they are racists, but a considerably larger number thinks that everyone else is. "I'm Not Racist But Everyone Else Is". Racists aren't gremlins who appear out of nowhere and return from whence they came, unfortunately.



On the Foreign Relation Front, Decision '08 is strongly in favor of a realist (as opposed to Realist) approach to Iran in Upping the Ante, discussing the Iranians sponsorship of Iraqi violence and the consequences to Iran.



All Things Jennifer tells us about the 2008 Presidential Ticket Quiz. Her candidates are about what you'd expect of a RINO. So were mine.



Tinkerty-Tonk injects a bit of common sense to some hype on the Devlin incident, in which a pizza store manager kept an abducted teenager for four years, in He was a quiet man. Of course he was. Criminals have to avoid calling attention to themselves.



Enrevanche wants to foster a discussion of political dynasties in Talk amongst yourselves. I'd cite not only the Kennedys (at least since April 1968) on the debit side of the ledger, but the Tafts (US President and Ohio Governor), the Harrisons (President, Senator, and President), and at least one local South Bay clan. On that note, Barry, I hope your mom is doing better - neither one of you is in politics.



RINOs have no patience with political games: Danegerus covers John Kerry trying to get as close to the constitutional definition of treason as possible without actually touching the line.



Matter of fact, RINOs have no problem with telling the government to butt out completely, as illustrated by The Nose on Your Face



RINOs demand equal accountability for all, as Don Surber's submission shows.



RINOs have a sense of humor, but want to see some indication that lunacy is actually intended as a joke. Extensive research by Classical Values fails to yield conclusive evidence whether a group that wants the British to pay 31 trillion pounds is serious. My guess is that they're not intentionally funny. There is no shortage of lunatic nutjobs.



RINOs have no sacred cows. Pigilito analyzes the French role in the Rwandan Genocide. The French do not come out looking like anyone whose approval the United States should want.



RINOs don't suffer fools gladly: Mind of Mog on our most recent failed presidential aspirant, seemingly determined to punish America for rejecting him but still seeking the approval of France.



RINOs have no patience for wrong priorities: Right Thoughts covers the FBI (Maybe it really does stand for Female Body Inspector), and inappropriate priorities. Warning, Language Not Safe For Work or Families.
