A '''RINO''' ('''R'''epublican '''i'''n '''N'''ame '''O'''nly) is an officeholder or candidate who is a member of the [[Republican Party]], but holds views to the political left of most Republican voters, or simply does whatever the [[liberal media]] wants. The term "RINO" describes politicians who claim to be [[Republican Party|Republican]] but are in fact [[liberal]] or puppets of the liberal media, and therefore generally debase the winning [[conservative]] coalition base of the Republican Party. RINOs also tend to resort to [[cronyism]] to fill key government positions, and often are career politicians.

RINOs are often Republican only to the extent it serves their own interests, and will abandon conservative principles as soon as it is in their own interests to do so. RINOs often provide support for raising taxes, [[abortion]] as [[Pro-choice|a right]], [[gay rights]] and [[gun control]]. Some RINOs have connections with [[Planned Parenthood]] or corporations that support goals of [[population control]]; other RINOs pay lip service to [[pro-life]] values while in practice not advancing those values.
