Republican In Name Only
Republican In Name Only (RINO) is a pejorative term used by conservative members of the Republican Party of the United States to describe Republicans whose political views or actions they consider insufficiently conservative. The acronym RINO emerged in the 1990s.
==Origins==
In 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt, then-President William Howard Taft, and Senator Robert LaFollette fought for ideological control of the Republican Party and each denounced the other two as "not really Republican". The phrase ''Republican in name only'' emerged as a popular political pejorative in the 1920s, 1950s and 1980s.
The earliest known print appearance of the term ''RINO'' was in the Manchester, New Hampshire newspaper then called ''The Union Leader''.
Buttons featuring the red slash through an image of a rhinoceros were spotted in the New Hampshire State House as early as 1992. In 1993, former Marine and future California Republican Assembly President Celeste Greig distributed buttons featuring a red slash over the word ''RINO'' to express opposition to Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan.〔 The term came into widespread usage during subsequent election cycles.
