Coyote Problem, California vs Arizona

RINO, not Republican. Just sayin'.

"Republican In Name Only"? That's a matter of opinion.

Evidently he is republican enough to be accepted in to, voted upon, and designated a representative of the Republican Party. He ran for office on a Republican platform, using Republican funding, and proclaiming loyalty to Republican constituents. In my book, that makes him a Republican.

He has lied, cheated, broken promises, cut spending from the wrong places, and generally made a mess of the state. That makes him a politician.


1+1=2, no matter how you slice it...

Chris, the folks that call the Governator a RINO are referring in part to the broken promises. He ran on a Republican platform with Republican support then failed to deliver on the campaign promises. Doesn't really surprise me, given that MOST politcians lie, cheat & break promises, as you pointed out. But it does annoy people who expect politicians after election to remain relatively close to the ideology they spouted in the campaign. There are similar complaints on the Democratic side, although I don't know if they call them DINOs or not.
