Terminology
I think we have to be careful here - single-issue disagreement does not make "RINO"s. I strongly disagree with the labeling of Palin, Coulter and the blog redstate as Republicans in Name Only.--IDuan 13:38, 24 August 2012 (EDT)
- The article reads: "...highlighted who sides with RINOs when it counts the most on important social issues, and who stands with principle." I think the point is that the people listed may or may not be RINOs themselves, but that when the chips are down, chose to side with the RINOs, regardless of their own political convictions.

RINOs
I saw this article and it struck me that this site is listing as RINO backers or RINOs most of the leading names of the Republican Party, elected and/or followed by the Republican electorate. Maybe the people on this site are the RINOs and need to start their own party, b/c when you call the leadership RINOs you just make yourselves sound like you're the outliers, not representative of the modern Republican Party. It's been made abundantly clear Todd Akin's views are not Republican. --BillWhitliff 19:58, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

His Words
Forgive my ignorance, there has only been sporadic news about this in Australia. What were Mr Akin's exact words, we have been told by our media that he stated:
If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down
Obviously this is entirely scientifically incorrect, is there context that I'm missing? TheOtherGuy 00:03, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
