Two new words

June 15th 2009 06:01
Here are two new words that, in my opinion, should become part of the political lexicon:

Rinosaur: A Republican politician who has been in Washington forever and who sides with the Democrats more often than the Republicans.

Dinosaur: A Democratic politician who has been in Washington forever and who sides with the Republicans more often than the Democrats.

Arlen Specter was the most obvious example of a Rinosaur before he left the GOP. Robert Byrd is a good example of a Dinosaur. Both frequently have voted against their own parties and both are Senate lifers.

Are Rinosaurs and Dinosaurs good or bad? I guess it depends on your ideology and your feelings on career politicians.

Round Politics
I just think they are survivalist, they do what ever they can to stay in office as long as they can, maybe they fear going out into the world and finding a decent meaningful job.

Angry Electorate
I just think they get addicted to the power and prestige. I think we need to get rid of them, though. The country has faltered greatly under their leadership. It's time to give someone else a shot.
