    Giuliani and McCain are considered RINOs by lheggland2007-04-06 12:22:41
      Of course, that's what I'd consider Bush & Cheney (n/t) by Kickstart2007-04-06 12:42:58
        No, they mostly reflect the GOP views, except by shminux2007-04-06 12:51:36
          I don't think so. by Kickstart 2007-04-06 12:59:47
There is a good writeup on the Ten Conservative Principles by the Kirk Center. B&C fail most of them.

1 believes that there exists an enduring moral order

2 adheres to custom, convention, and continuity

3 believe in what may be called the principle of prescription (hold dear to the wisdom of those who have gone before)

4 guided by their principle of prudence

5 pay attention to the principle of variety

6 chastened by their principle of imperfectability

7 persuaded that freedom and property are closely linked

8 uphold voluntary community, oppose involuntary collectivism

9 perceives the need for prudent restraints upon power and upon human passions

10 understands that permanence and change must be recognized and reconciled in a vigorous society

Now, I would say that Republicans primarily consider themselves conservatives. B&C fail to abide almost all of these ten principles, and therefore should be considered RINOs. If you'd like, I can give examples of where they fail these, but that will have to happen later. I'm on my way out of the house right now.
