If the GOP-e doesn’t want conservatives in the party, conservatives can start their own party. The Republican Party will never win another election.
romney is a RINO!!
This is the gop’s last chance to get it right.
Ignore us at your peril.
One last chance. Remember Samson.
Will they? What a ridiculous question, they already have.
Author has it backwards, the Republican Party is a party of moderates. What evidence is there to the contrary?
The Tea Party, if it survives, holds the promise of a true Conservative Party.
Thank God for Butch & Melinda!
Since the GOP Elite do not want Conservatives who want to Conserve, and they do not want grassroots folks who have the common sense to live within their means, I suggest the the name of the new Conservative Party be called the GRASSROOTS CONSERVE AMERICA PARTY.
BTW, when the new GCAP convenes in 2014 to choose our National Delegates, let’s have the good sense to hold our Convention at least 100 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.
Last chance?
Not with Romney as the nominee, they are toast with this election.
Every time the Republican nominee gives conservatives the cold shoulder, he loses. Just ask Dewey, Ford, Dole, McCain and Nixon.
At least Nixon learned from his mistake. In 1960, he picked a liberal running mate, made a deal with Nelson Rockefeller, and paid scant attention to conservatives during the campaign despite an enthusiastic and rousing demonstration in support of Conservative icon Barry Goldwater at the convention.
In 1968, he had learned his lesson. He at least pretended to be a conservative, promising Strom Thurmond that he would push for a strong anti-ballistic missile defense system--a promise that he didn't keep--and making an appeal to the "forgotten American," the middle-class voter beset by crime, taxes and an increasingly intrusive government. This time, he won.
Hey GOPe azzholes. I know some of you have operatives who at least lurk here, so I’m going to spell it out for you: without us, obama wins and America dies. All your perks, nice lifestyles, etc die along with America. What, you think the monsters behind obama will bring you along for the ride to power? Read your history, morons. After they destroy their useful idiot base, you’re next.
As for us? It will be ugly, but even the marxist obamascum have learned they need the productive people. We’ll survive.
In other words, YOU NEED US way more than we need you, even in the worst case scenario.
Get it yet? Apparently not. So be it.
The folks have reached an agreement that made the conservatives happy. Both Drudge and Hotair have been covering it
Is Fredricks one who has been stealthly peeled off, or WHAT? You can not compromise liberty in friggin’ fractions when the pie itself is corrupt.
Just read where they are trying to “peel off” the opposition and still trying to inform rank and file delegates.
Ya know, I’d almost talked myself into voting for the GOP rat Romney. Had even risked a zot a few times arguing that point.
No longer. I’m not going to vote for the GOPe after this. Screw ‘em. As I said in my last post, we’ll survive. Guess we’re going to have to go through the fire first. Well, the GOPe won’t survive that conflagaration - which will be dealt to them by their allies (aka the Democrats, not us).
If milt succeeds, you can say bye-bye to the Pro-Life plank in the platform. Probably not right away. What he’ll do is get the rape & incest exception in this year, then do away with the rest of the Pro-Life plank by 2016.
Take a look at the “born on” dates of the first few posters and the thread poster. I smell a rat. Wouldn’t be the first time Chicago has sent infiltrators here to sow dissension.
They really don't want conservatives in the party, if they did they would actually strive for the stated conservative party planks; such as the overturn/delegitimization of Roe v. Wade. Yet, even with executive and legislative branches under their control [Bush's early term] they did nothing to further that goal.
What about guns? Surely the Republican party is good on guns!
Nope. In fact, the GOP gets all sorts of undeserved "pro-gun credit" because of the termination of the Assault Weapon Ban. Why? Because it had a sunset clause and they had to do, literally, nothing to get it to expire. Furthermore, how many nationally recognized GOPers have stated they desire the termination of the Gun Control Act and/or the National Firearms Act? How about even the Lautenberg Amendment?
Fiscal Responsibility?
Interestingly, one of the more outspoken proponents of fiscal responsibility is labeled as an "unelectable kook" with respect to the presidency: Ron Paul. The sheer resistance toward auditing the Federal Reserve indicates to me that many of the GOP are for fiscal responsibility but only so long as it keeps them safe in their position of power. (And honestly, who's going to lose power if/when the Federal Reserve's accounting comes to light: Congress -- for the simple reason that the Congress has the duty/responsibility to ensure the value of the currency and by delegating that to the Federal Reserve and never checking it they have become accomplices to any abuses therein.)
Smaller/Limited Government?
When was the last time you heard a "serious candidate" talk about removing entire agencies? {I know from an interesting magazine article that Reagan wanted to with the Department of Education, but didn't/couldn't.}
So, in all honesty, what good is the Republican party if it won't do what it says it will?
Um, did I get suckered? Will await the kitties for verification.
That said, the OP is all too plausible given what the GOPe and their candidate MittCare have done and said lately.
” - - - This is an attempt to mold the Republican platform to his moderate values and also to force state delegates to be completely loyal to him and his moderate beliefs instead of standing for their own beliefs and the beliefs of the people who voted for them from each state and congressional district.”
Sooooooooooooooo, Romney is going to destroy the Republican Party in order to save it?
This won’t sit well with folks that liked a Constitutional Republic.
Looks like a floor fight well worth having.
If the Elites won’t allow a floor fight, they we will fight at their stump speeches, that is, if they want to represent us.
Hmmmmmmmm, one good knock down floor fight, or many, many stump speech fight?
Your choice, Romney.
Tick-Tock.
I heard Rand Paul on Fox tonight say that the GOP has allowed input from Libertarians to the party plank. He was satisfied with the unity that was building during this convention. And he was happy that finally there was a policy in the plank that was something his father has pushed for in his years in Congress: An audit of the Federal Reserve.
