SFProgress's definitions
A DINO-saur is a conservative "Democrat In Name Only", also known as 'Blue Dogs' who despite belonging to the Democratic Party do not share its progressive ideals and when push comes to shove vote against those very ideals.
DINO-saurs might as well be Republicans, because many voted against the Health Care Bill (HR 3962 - The Affordable Health Care for America Act), even though both President Obama and a majority of Democrats favored the bill. They're at heart conservative and Democrats in name only.
