The problem is that too many people let their political party affiliation guide their opinions and put their party ahead of their state and country. Thus my snide aside. Of course RINO doesn't stand for Real Republican, but it just might stand for Real American. Patriot without a party. And the same for DINO. And please do regale us with your superior knowledge as to why it is so important to stick to a party line and oh so very carefully lift our boots neither higher nor lower than our neighbor.
