The term RINO — Republican in name only — has been used very disparagingly of late in the media. To those using it in this manner, I would ask the following.
Which is better for America and Alaska: an alleged RINO with intelligence, compassion and dedication, or a True Believer who will vote the party line and speak the party rhetoric without thought or hesitation?
Only you can decide at the ballot box, but I know my preference already.
