Your list describes ultra-conservatives, or what are popularly referred to as neoconservatives. Conservatives are moderates, and include atheists, gays, and a lot of others.

You are correct that the republican party has been hi-jacked by the far right who refer to moderates as RINOs. Now the so-called RINOs are getting the message and jumping ship.

We need moderates, and neither the repubs nor dems are providing them.

Spector is a pragmatist, and he realizes that, if repubs are going dem, that his only real hope for reelection is to follow them. Obama has at least become more accepting of moderates in his speech if not his actions.

  Moderates aren't RHINO's. RHINO's are republicans who are acting like far left democrats that go along with this insane stimulus bill, giving amnesty to illegals while we have millions out of work here, Schumer is working on that as we speak........just doing things the middle of America is against. Middle meaning center, a little left of center and a little right of center.

    Schumer is a freak. He's off the charts left even for a democrat. But he's wealthy leftist bully Bloomberg's buddy, so it's no surprise.
    
    But I think we have to agree to disagree on RINOs, since I view them as the centrists these days. I truly think the religious right and corporatists have hi-jacked the republican party and it's lost its conservative identity.
