Distinctions with differences
Glenn Reynolds a RINO? I can understand the natural urge of Limbaugh and Company to call him that, but I have to speak up, for if there's one thing I hate more than an inaccurate term, it's seeing an inaccurate term being used inaccurately. Glenn Reynolds is not a RINO. There's only one way for Glenn to become a RINO, and that's to register as a Republican. Last I read, he was a registered Democrat. What that means is that Glenn can only be a DINO, and not a RINO. I'm of course a legitimate RINO, because of my Republican registration. Before that, I was a DINO, because of my Democrat registration. This is so easy that it shouldn't require any explanation. In order to prove my point, I'll explain how the process might work if I decided to become a DINO. Two steps are involved. First, I'd have go down to the county seat and register as a Democrat. All I'd need to do then would be to announce in my blog that I was a registered Democrat, and wait for official certification that I was a "Democrat in Name Only" -- which wouldn't take long. All it takes is having an opinion of your own. posted by Eric on 10.17.06 at 07:35 AM |

I'm no longer affiliated with a party (I was, at one time, registered as a Democrat), and I disagree with all of them on a number of things, so I guess I have no chance at being an IINO.
That's probably a good thing - just by the sound of it, it has worse connotations than RINO or DINO.
