Purple Rhinoceros’s, a very new breed of Republicans will graze along side their own kind, all the while knowing that they don’t like the grass.
Americans need to be specific of their questions to politicians running for high office on what it is they will actually accomplish for the American people. Many times so called Republican RINO’s only run on the parties platform without coming forward with their own more dangerous personal agendas until it is too late. (Because they know they would not be elected.)
These RINO’s have no forward thought for helping the American people. Their agendas are structured toward money, power, political gain that they only know about, rather then for the rights of the American people that voted to put them in office.
Case in point are the officials elected on a solid platform to repeal with President Donald Trump’s declared policy to remove ObamaCare. Purple Rhinoceros’s have pulled their support, their commitment to this ideal when they failed to vote along party lines. With their noncommittal to remove ObamaCare, they are showing their true colors of red and not blue. This makes them out to be not just RINO’s but a newer more dangerous pachyderm. Thus a newer term must be applied: Purple Rhinoceros’s. Fewer in number, but more destructive in destroying the party for development of the ideals set forth by our president of the United States.
Please do not just use the term RINO’s with this administration. Purple Rhinoceros’s are a newer species. They exist to disrupt our president, and have many friends like themselves within the media and hollywood. To use the old term RINO’s does a disservice to who and what they are doing. The term RINO has become too complaisant and not deserving their true nature within the Republican party itself.
To call those Republicans that change their vote only RINO’s is not enough, they must be pointed out. Adding the term and naming them Purple Rhinoceros’s sets them apart from the rest of their herd. More importantly, it points a finger directly at those representatives who would hold back the progress of our nation to becoming greater then itself.
