I really do not like saying it, but you are correct. This problem is way past the voting booth.
Not as much as my catz.
Getting rid of the liberal republicans will leave a republican party that is conservative. I'm ok with that.
I sure won't vote for liberal republicans, even in the general election.

I voted for them all one last time.
NEVER AGAIN. Ever.
That is your unproven assertion.
The plan is to shut down Obamacare and Amnesty funding.
No more plan is needed.

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.

Prayer is a great thing. But Noah had to physically build that Ark, though.
In takes action, not just prayer.
That is why God gave humans a brain, unlike any other creature on this Earth. You should start using yours. And stop being an enabler.
Nice excuse. But does not hold water.
“I truly believe that the GOP is far closer to extinction than they imagine.”
With majorities in both federal legislatures, in a majority of state legislatures, and a majority of Governors?
Winning elections is how they judge their results, not pleasing a minority of people, who claim to not be members of the party, and threaten to not vote much of the time.
That's all you Apologists have - deflecting the truth to cover for the complicity of those you support by attacking the ones pointing it out.
As to the 'plan' - you could not comprehend it, because you are stuck in the mindset that this is just another political game we can play.
‘enabler’? I have no idea what you are talking about?
Yes, action speaks louder than words. And it’s not my brain I am concerned about...
Then why do they lie and pander to them during campaigns? Could it be because they actually need us to get into office ?
Care to take a look at the most recent election to see just how many RINOs actually ran as
Obamacare supportin, amnesty loving big government democrat lite politicians?
Like I said before, if you want results...pray, praise, and believe....it’s not my Word, it’s Gods...otherwise forget about the promise land...being ‘what you want’, because you are saying the opposite, and that is what you will get.
I pulled up the carpet and quit vaccuuming.

Like when you attack those who disagree with you on FR?
Hypocrisy is ugly.

If Conservatives are such a “minority” in the GOP - why the hell should you people care whom we vote for or whom we decide NOT to vote for??
But listening to you guys chastise Conservatives the last several months for stating we are not voting for your ruling class party stooges, you would think the survival of your party is dependent on us little ‘minority’ you so loathe.

Why? Because they love their republiCrat plantation!
I prefer republiCrats as well as demicRats. So it`s a Uni-party choice of Crats or Rats, but what`s the difference?
