Yabetcha: No RINO IN Reasonable R’s

Yabetcha: Allow me to join in on the labeling. The so called “reasonable Republicans” in Kootenai County are not centrist. They are actually very conservative in the more traditional meaning, not Rinos, nor extremists.

DFO: I couldn’t agree with Yabetcha more. Individuals like Sandy Patano, Brad Corkill, and Jim Pierce who have been marginalized by the Far Right of the local Republican Party as RINOs are solid conservatives. They were the conservative backbone of the local Republican Party while many of today’s leaders were cutting their political teeth in the Constitutionalist & Libertarian parties. If someone is throwing the RINO label around, you can suspect they’re probably a RINO from the right fringe.
