But he drove a pickup truck? He was supposed to be a conservative? He’s a RINO!!!

Please.

I am on a mission to ban the acronym RINO. It starts today.

They are all Republicans. There are different types of Republicans. For example, Scott Brown is a Massachusetts Republican. If conservatives put their faith in a Massachusetts Republican they might as well get familiar with Battered Wife Syndrome. By the way if you are a conservative, J.D. Hayworth will disappoint you too.

Of course there are different types of conservatives. I am a fiscal conservative and a social moderate. Does that mean I am a CINO? Is there a litmus test for conservatism? Who is the ultimate judge? Can it be Dustin Diamond?

The same question can be asked to those who yell RINO at Scott Brown. What’s your litmus test for a “true Republican?” Quite frankly, I don’t even know what it means to be a Republican anymore.

As conservatives we need to look at the Republican Party as a vehicle that we can use to get our policy initiatives implemented. We need to flood the party with conservatives, but never identify ourselves as Republicans. Why? Quite frankly the Republican Party can not be trusted.

Thanks Mr. Brown, nice truck…

The last few days have been busy here at Fingersmalloy.com. I know you would not know that by looking at the content on the site, but my time has been spent preparing for CPAC 2010. I will be blogging from the Bloggers Lounge for my site, and for the kids over at Parcbench.

I will remind you again, if you can’t be at CPAC, listening to RFC Radio will be almost as good as being in DC. All the fun starts Thursday morning at www.rfcradio.com.

If you will be in DC this weekend, RFC Radio is co-sponsoring The Sixth Annual ReaganPalooza Saturday night. What is Reaganpalooza? The following is a description from the Reaganpalooza Facebook Page.

Fellow Conservatives!

Join us at THE young professional conservative event of the year – REAGANPALOOZA! – for a night of partying, cocktails, and celebration at the best CPAC after-party in DC! We’ll honor the man, the legend – President Ronald Reagan. Over 750 folks attended last year!

After SIX years and still going strong, REAGANPALOOZA started as a way for all our friends from around the country to get together and celebrate our great cause and friendships, while making new ones. JOIN US this year in celebrating the next generation of the conservative movement!

For more information, visit the Facebook event page.

So there you have it; visit Fingersmalloy.com for CPAC news and interviews from some of the best conservative minds in the country.

And if you are at CPAC and you see me, please stop and say hello. I am easy to spot in a crowd. Even better, feel free to buy me a Jack on the rocks. I will say thank you!
