| | :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.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:29, 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."

| | ::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.

| | + | :::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.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 15:15, 25 August 2012 (EDT) |
