I figured it was a compliment.
It's funny, if you look at all of the Bush figures, they all bashed her, and everybody believed them and not her. But she is the one who doesn't give an inch on actual Conservative principles. She has no place for movement on the second amendment, at all. She may be more centrist here and there, but to me a RINO is somebody who really has no principles, not somebody who holds some positions I disagree with. I am definitely a big Condi fan, which may not be a plus for her popularity in here.
