2010? I think it's been on the skids since 1996 (Dole), at least.
We have two choices the bummer and his libs or the gop.
The best way to get back at the RNC and other GOP orgs. who are backing Romney...is to hit em where it hurts by withholding ALL contributions..
For a long time, I have contributed directly to Conservative candidates only,
A party big whig friend of mine says that GOP donors are still alive and well.
Watch and see what happens if Mittens wins.
But it will only work to get their attention if we all follow suit and let them know that we will not tolerate their defection to RINOs.
Cut off the money source.
And FA, linguine spined Independents vote but they don’t contribute.
So the leftists buy a few pro-Romney polls and we are all supposed to throw our skirts over our heads?
Is that it?
Time for a new party, seeded with defections from the GOP.
Hey!.... Go take your complaint to the media. They run everything.
“Son of a Bush”
Nice descriptor...
Is that your quote?
Can we use it here on FR?
I would vote for Jack the Ripper before I give advantage to president Barack Hussein Obama by not voting.
Pal
we will now get and have already got those Romneybots and the establishment coming on here and other sites like this to tell us we need to come together, we have to defeat obama etc bla bla bla.
Not going to work this time, we did it when Sarah was on the ticket and regardless now they have burned their bridges by attacking the base, thinking we’re too stupid to make our own minds up on who we want for the nomination, instead they attacked us, they attacked the conservative candidates, they used their talking heads and I’ve had it and will never vote for Romney ever .
They really think we’re so stupid that if they get someone on the VP ticket we’;ll just hold our noses again and vote, NO WAY THIS TIME
Once you slam the door in your face, they will blame you for Romney losing the election. “If only we had the support of the Tea Party we could have won”. They will conveniently omit the part where they vilified everything the Tea Party stands for and backed a Northeast liberal to carry their banner. Your position on the political spectrum will have remained consistent and steadfast while the GOP drifted to the left. But they will never admit that it was the GOP that left you, not the other way around.

That would send a pretty unmistakable message to both major parties without doing as much damage to the country as ceding the entire election to the Dems.
I’ve been mentally composing my own letter. I’ve been republican for almost 50 years but I now find myself fighting the RNC at least as much as fighting the democrats.
By trying to take out the Tea Party faction, the Republican elites have signed the GOP’s death warrant. I for one, will stay home.
I ended that relationship back in 2007.
Some came to the conclusion a lot faster. 2008, 2010, or even earlier. Others may take a few more cycles to finally realize it.
Me? I was very slow, but even I have had enough. 2010 election decided for me.
Hear ye, hear ye! The Republican Party does not adequately represent me! They talk a lot and then give the same warmed over muck that got us into financial collapse in the first place; ANOTHER debt ceiling aborted!? Something _serious_ needs to be done to change course, now.
After serving on Capitol Hill in the 80’s and watching the GOP from the inside...I bailed on the party quite a while ago. They stand for little, believe me. Great marketers, I’ll give them that. But possessors of principles...not many.
Give up on thinking the people can “take over” the GOP...it will NEVER happen.
The last thing I was asked by the caller from the RNC was “are you still a Republican?”. I said I still vote Republican. I should have asked if I have a choice.
