If there is such a thing as a "RINO Backer", why isn't Donald Trump in it for backing Chris Christie? RobSFree Kyle! 21:19, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
- You do bring up a good point. Even adamant conservatives like Trump sometimes endorses establishment-leaning Republicans. —

Sunday, 21:24, May 29, 2021 (EDT)- To be fair, User:TonySideaway exposed the Ratvandal Senate Hit List and wrote about it, and is one of Wikipedia's experts in dealing with vandalism. However I personally do not regard his creation of this category as a good faith contribution, IMHO. RobSFree Kyle! 21:27, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
- The user created the Category and walked away from it. He has not edited in 7 years. [1] RobSFree Kyle! 21:31, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
- Yeah, now that you mention it, this category perhaps wasn't the best idea. I also noticed that on the official CP page for RINO Backers, Sarah Palin is considered such simply because she didn't defend Todd Akin in 2012. Does that really make sense? —

- The question is quite simple: As an alternative to Wikipedia, why has Conservapedia allowed Wikipedia functionaries to shape its content? RobSFree Kyle! 21:37, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
- Subversive influences on CP evidently have been enabled by the site leadership. —
LTMay D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well! Sunday, 21:40, May 29, 2021 (EDT)- Well, Ed Poor for example could be regarded as a WP functionary, so that criteria is a bit overstated. However back to my main point: I don't believe this was a good faith contribution by a user who knew what he was doing to sow division and chaos. Sarah Palin is in CP's Top Dozen alltime most Popular pages, yet the categorization scheme is intended as a slur. RobSFree Kyle! 21:47, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
- Communists are always trying to corrupt things from the foundation up slowly. They will do this with anything. That's why we need to stay on guard and be alert of their subversive attempts. Patriotic Gamer (talk) 23:21, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
- This Category needs to go. It is intended as a pejorative (i.e. expressing contempt or disapproval) and was aimed straight at the GOP new conference leader and spokesperson. Personally, I've had more than my share of this. RobSFree Kyle! 23:54, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
