::Mitt Romney is your Presidential candidate, and his running mate Paul Ryan is a Republican "Young Gun", the architect of the budget the Republican House has passed three times, and considered the party's intellectual touchstone. Sarah Palin was the Vice Presidential nominee in the last election and commands a presence in the party unrivaled by most. Karl Rove engineered the successful campaigns of the last two Presidential elections won by a Republican. And you somehow think these are the RINO/RINO backers and that ''you'' and Todd Akin are the ''true'' mantel and speak the voice of the Republican Party? What elections have you won, exactly, that gives you this thought? Perhaps it's not that they are RINOs, it's that you are the RINO, if you really look at the reality of it all. Vote Republican - but neither Mr. Akin nor you Mr. Schlafly are the Republican Party - you're outliers. When you are calling Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter RINOs, maybe you should just start your own party. --[[User:BillWhitliff|BillWhitliff]] 00:12, 25 August 2012 (EDT) | ::Mitt Romney is your Presidential candidate, and his running mate Paul Ryan is a Republican "Young Gun", the architect of the budget the Republican House has passed three times, and considered the party's intellectual touchstone.

Revision as of 19:15, August 25, 2012
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)
- A glance at the RINO Backers does not reveal a list of "most of the leading names of the Republican Party." Indeed, most of the people on the list are not even party officials. The party officials have released the Republican Party Platform that shows it is the RINO Backers, not Todd Akin, who are out of step.--Andy Schlafly 21:29, 24 August 2012 (EDT)
- Mitt Romney is your Presidential candidate, and his running mate Paul Ryan is a Republican "Young Gun", the architect of the budget the Republican House has passed three times, and considered the party's intellectual touchstone. Sarah Palin was the Vice Presidential nominee in the last election and commands a presence in the party unrivaled by most. Karl Rove engineered the successful campaigns of the last two Presidential elections won by a Republican. And you somehow think these are the RINO/RINO backers and that you and Todd Akin are the true mantel and speak the voice of the Republican Party? What elections have you won, exactly, that gives you this thought? Perhaps it's not that they are RINOs, it's that you are the RINO, if you really look at the reality of it all. Vote Republican - but neither Mr. Akin nor you Mr. Schlafly are the Republican Party - you're outliers. When you are calling Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter RINOs, maybe you should just start your own party. --BillWhitliff 00:12, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
- Most of the RINO Backers have not been elected. Of those who have, one quit her office midterm (Palin), one did not stand for reelection (Romney), one is a freshman senator who had not been to D.C. before (Johnson), and another declined to run for an open seat for statewide office (Ryan). This list of RINO Backers is hardly representative of the Republican Party itself.--Andy Schlafly 15:15, 25 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)
- The Todd Akin entry provides several quotations from scientific publications that are similar to what Akin said. But even if Akin were wrong, why the media bullying against him?--Andy Schlafly 14:58, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
