Turn Out The Lights: The Grand Old Party Is Over

I know some states don’t hold their delegates to the primary votes..The fight will continue..States are very jealous of their own rights.

When I voted in the primary I expected my candidate to be represented if he got enough votes..He did not in my state.

As I understand it..Iowa was won by Santorum yet their delegates voted for Paul..I would be outraged if I were from Iowa..Their state rules are in need of a fix.

I believe delegates must stick to being true to the primary vote. JMO

We have enemies among our ranks

I graduated high school in 65 and at that time, I was sickened by the hippies, the “peace... man..” types, the anti-war protesters, etc. BUT for all these years we have witnessed incremental takeover from the Bill Ayers types of our schools, universities, cities, state governments, with their disgusting share the wealth (remember the commune theory?), hate your mom and dad's successful hard work. Now the true leftie radicals are residing IN OUR White House! Let's dump them, get back on track.

[Timber Rattler]

I'm not happy with the outcome of the primaries either, but to claim they were "rigged" smacks of being a whiny sore-loser b*tch.

Get a clue.

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

[Hostage]

When you resort to projecting petulant childish epithets against those that do not agree with you, it indicates you’ve lost the debate.

[Lazamataz]

I am sick of so called conservatives fighting to re elect Obama..

MEG33, how can you say that? Isn't the article quite clear that he understands those conservatives who would vote for Romney?

Why is telling the truth about the Republican party, a vote for Obama?

What happened is real. YOUR voice was silenced. Vote for Romney if you wish. Campaign for him. Cheer him in. No worries. But when it's done, the GOP has to go.

[muawiyah]

You have to take over the Republican party at the state level ~ then build up a NEW RNC while disposing of the older one with prejudice ~ meaning NONE of those guys get to join the new one, or work for it, or show up at conventions, or even call phone numbers.

No visits with each other in prison either (I expect all kinds of things will be found out to give that result).

Third parties don't last, nor do they get bigger, but a major party can be REPLACED at the state level without much effort if everybody agrees.

[Timber Rattler]

Until after the vote.

Let me know how that works out for you when Romney and the RNC replace duly-chosen state delegates with crony delegates of their own in 2016.

They can do that now, or weren't you watching?

[novemberslady]

As I understand it..Iowa was won by Santorum yet their delegates voted for Paul

I didn't know that. Thank you.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

That will become a (much) more interesting fight.

Until such time it starts then stand down.

Stand down, and fight against Obama.

(Until such time that starts)

Not one second before.

[muawiyah]

Next post down ~ read ~ the Republican party at the top, the RNC, which is where the big problem is located, is a creature of 50 separate Republican parties below, at the state level.

We must start there ~ just start taking them over. Push the issue.

I posted this a while back and even put it on my profile wall:

When people start asking and demanding the 'best for the country,' instead of voting and staying in the 'best party' mentality...then and only then are we truly ready to save America from itself.

It is voting the party-line BS that has gotten us into this mess, into this soft tyranny, dominated by progressives and RINO's.

Those RINOs got there through party-line voting and they will continue to 'get there,' until we figure out WE are the one's putting into office those who WILL TRADE AWAY OUR FREEDOM.

The RINO is worse than voting for the democrat, the RINO is a sneak, liar, and horse-trader of Rights that are not his to barter with the devil with.

And oddly enough this is exactly what the GOP-e just did yesterday. Someone famous once said, "IF the is to be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children may have peace in theirs." Trouble is coming whether it is Romney or 0bama and it bothers me deeply that it appears many FReepers either don't seem to see it, are in denial at the level of danger, or have drank so much RINO-ade that they see Romney as some sort of savior to the country. What they did yesterday is exactly what RINOs do...I think it is a very sad day for our country.

[humblegunner]

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of crying to that effect but no evidence.

[Lazamataz]

Mark America, Grow a pair, grow a spine and grow up. Get rig of the hate-America, marxist, commie, muzzie, racist POS 0bummer, FIRST! If we don’t, your can use your downstream ticket votes to wipe you butt. It won’t matter at all.

Sounds like M.A. is okay with that, although maybe HE won't vote Romney.

But the day after the election, the GOP must be either discarded or co-opted.

[RavenLooneyToon]

Only ONE battlefront at a time.
No one likes nuclear weapons, lots of collateral damage, many innocents get harmed. There's lots of clean up afterward.
We must use the Mitt Bomb. The Communists have left us no choice. So let's ride the bomb, waving the cowboy hat screaming heehaw!
It will take years to clean up the mess. To bleach the sheets clean. To eradicate the unions from our once mighty industry, to cleanse the streets of wasted humans(human waste), and flush the socialists from our once respected educational systems.
Your divide and conquer tactics will not succeed.
Step from the dark and enter the light and join us in the removal from the anti-republic soon to be dictator that has stolen the white house and changed it from a beacon of freedom to a stinking dark swamp.

If you follow the posting history of some of these “principled, anti-Romney, true-conservative” poseurs, you’ll see that they are devoutly anti-Mormon. They give their beliefs all sorts of other labels, but it is what it is.

I was reading Thomas Jefferson’s notes yesterday. You can’t help but to see that he hated organized religion. They fight each other in “God’s” name, which makes NO sense. I’ll leave it at that.

Dear Timber Rattler,

Please take another look at your home page and note what you put there with that awesome cartoon of the eagle who represent the VOTERS and the GOP as the tiny character. Please have faith, sir.

Please post that for us. Many of us are frustrated, but we ARE making progress. I'm from a previously very blue Wisconsin, where we have made tremendous progress in dumping the RINOS, have elected Scott Walker 2 x in 18 months with his nasty recall. We have prevailed. We're tired, we're worn down, but NEVER defeated. We've had setbacks but we keep the forward movement. I too did not want Romney - not my 2nd or 3rd choice, but I will vote for him over that @#$% in our White House.

[cripplecreek]

The big lie that the GOP-E and FR 'party first' hacks (like you) are pushing is that this was all about Ron Paul. It wasn't. It was aimed squarely at the TEA Party and preempting any potential insurgent challenge to Romney in 2016.

Pure Alinsky tactic. Paint those you disagree with as being among the worst you can find. That way the opposition is distracted away from the argument as they defend themselves. Its not really surprising since Saul Alinsky seemed to have some influence on George Romney after helping him "solve" the problems of Detroit.

In the end it won't matter who they blame because it doesn't change the fact or the damage done to the GOP yesterday.

Looking back, George Romney was a pro at using the Alinsky tactics. He demanded that the party evict all the "Birches, racists, and police staters". He then stomped off like a little girl when he lost and he and his purist moderate pals actively worked to defeat Goldwater. Since they succeded they've pointed to Goldwater's defeat (That they engineered) as evidence that the party needs to be moderate for the past 50 years.

[Lazamataz]

Love ya bro, but the harsh truth is, the way both parties have done this economy, neither will be able to repair it.

[Nervous Tick]

Then why are you working so hard for his re-election?

[JRandomFreeper]

I won't be voting for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, big government liberal.

I was once married to a Mormon and don't consider myself anti-Mormon.
