Replaced the paywall link to the 1994 Santa Cruz Sentinel article with a link to a free CDNC version of the cited article.

| Nov 10, 2017 at 18:11 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | Thanks for this very well-presented research. The Republican party's "Contract with America"—which represented a fairly sharp right turn in party orthodoxy—appeared in 1994, which matches nicely with the growing awareness of RINO that the articles you found attest to. Whether RINO was an underground term in the hard right wing of the party a decade before is an open question, but I am now fairly well persuaded that my memory of its being used in the late 1980s in the venues I was exposed to is probably false. | |
