Before we get started with this, and before the diehard Palinistas take offense, I need to state for the record that I – a Palin fan and frequent defender – almost always use the term “RINO” with my tongue firmly implanted in my cheek, as I believe the term has become as overused and abused and watered-down as the word “racist.” Today is no exception.
Really. You have to see it to really get the full impact:
You heard it at the Daily Beast first:
This weekend has been a big one in Republican politics as the dash to elect the nominee who we hope will defeat Barack Obama in November 2012 is on. Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll, with Ron Paul finishing 2nd and T-Paw a distant third. As a result of that finish, T-Paw announced today that he is dropping out of the race. Mitt Romney, I should note, had no ground game in Iowa.
Not that it was a profound thought or anything, but it hit me during Thursday night’s GOP debates, when I was reading Tweets from the official Democrat party Tweet page about how the debate line-up was the most “extreme” in history – or something to that effect – that it’s high time the GOP demand Democrat party rank and file politicians and “leaders” to define what exactly it is about the conservative agenda today that is “extreme.”
