As a kid I learned a saying that "all insects are bugs, but not all bugs are insects."
As and adult, I saw then Rep. Charles "Chuckie da Weasel" Schumer, in a House hearing televised on CSPAN, say that the Republicans were in the NRA's pocket. To which, "my" representative, Iliana Ros-Lehtinen, responded that she'd be willing to compare her NRA F rating to his any day of the week.
That day I learned that while many conservatives were Republicans, that not all Republicans were conservatives. In fact, Rep. Ros-Lehtinen was a liberal, tax and spend, anti-gun, but also anti Castro Republican.
So don't be making any assumptions based on an (R) next to any politician's name.
And don't call them Rino's. That just shows that you expect all Republicans to be someone that they're probably not.
That would be almost as bad as assuming that your average NRA member has any idea what the Second Amendment is all about, much less cares.
