In response to the Palestinian Authority’s lobbying of United Nations Assembly members to legitimize its claim to international status as a "state," U.S. Representative Thaddeus G. McCotter (MI) has introduced H.R.2261, to withhold United States contributions to the United Nations or a United Nations agency if the United Nations or such agency supports the recognition of an independent Palestinian “state.” Thus, any U.N. action that purports to acknowledge or authorize Palestinian “statehood” would result in a cutoff of all U.S. contributions to the offending agency. “Israel is our trusted ally and the lone representative democracy in the Middle East, which deserves all we can do to ensure her stability and success in land negotiations. A lasting, peaceful resolution to the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is an important goal, but it is wrong for the administration to sit by while the U. N. General Assembly considers tilting the balance against Israel,” said Rep. McCotter.

Thaddeus McCotter a RINO??? I'm sorry but what is it in the man's voting record that would make him a "RINO"?
Solidly pro Life, low taxes, strong national defense. What's your issue?
The Palestinians?

It was a play on McCotter's complaint..
He said that the Tea Party needed to grow up and stop calling people RINO.
Hence the title...
