Let’s look at the last three elections.
In 2008, the Republicans ran a RINO who would not press any big issues. The only traction he got was from his VP candidate. They lost solidly.
In 2010, the Republicans ran as solid conservatives and won one of the biggest victories the party has ever had. They gained over 700 seats nationwide. So what did they do next?
In 2012, they went back to the inoffensive RINO Etch A Sketch with no fixed principles and they got trounced every bit as badly as in 2008.
So whose fault is it? Why, conservatives, obviously.
The Republican Party has a virtually infinite capacity for learning the wrong lesson. it is time to put this pathetic excuse for a party out of its misery.
Probably Fatso.
Mr. Boortz, I would tell you to go Hell, but since we are already there, it doesnt even matter.
Party over principle right here on good old FR needs to be replaced by full beast mode conservatism.
Conservatism is our last best hope.
Moderates don’t inspire. Conservatives do. The left shifts right in the general elections and pretends to be pro-american fiscal conservatives, and our moderates can’t win because there is no daylight between the options. It proves to be true every time.
Here in Florida, Nelson somehow became a man of the people and no one hung his leftist DC record around his neck. Of course, the state bought Obama’s liberal record for four more years, so maybe it didn’t make a difference. What a collapse from two years ago.
And frankly, it’s going to take this country hitting rock bottom before they’ll be ready to listen to the conservative message....and with a media that would be the envy of Josef Goebbels, people won’t even know it’s hit rock bottom until it’s too late.
He’s so right that I knew not to even tune in to him this morning.
We get soft “go-along to get along” candidates (McCain/Romney etc)...while libs push hard and get in everyone’s faces (+ lie, cheat and media backing) and we get Mr Rogers.
Boortz has money-—he can leave. The rest of us will sit here and watch for our next presidential “hero” to float to the top like a noodle.
Brit Hume was already starting at 8 o’clock last night claiming that Romney had been too restricted by us filthy socons.
The “moderates” are happily pointing to a couple of tea party losses so they can declare that they were right. (Never mind the fact that they gleefully kept them wounded and likely voted democrat to prove their point) In reality the tea party took new seats last night and held a great many more seats.
Reading my Facebook and Twitter feeds this morning, it most people think gay marriage, legal pot, and free abortion and birth control were the most pressing issues for the federal govenment.
Maybe the best course of action for the next 4 years is to channel my adolescence, find a dealer, and smoke pot everyday so it goes by quickly in a blur.
Moderates walk on both sides of the yellow line; they stand for nothing! They want to hug the enemy on the other side of the aisle and engage in bi-partisanship with the weasels.
I hate the Republicrat Party. It should no longer exist. I am a right-wing conservative and there’s no place in the party of accommodation.
ideology isn’t as important as backbone. Heckuva a campaign, but they never defended/countered “Bush policies caused the meltdown” or “Let detroit go bankrupt” which were the lies that propped up O’s ebtire campaign. At some point in time you have to make an unpopular argument.
You nailed it; none of which except possibly GW did the voters choose.
Liberals, humanists, are liars no matter if they call themselves Republican or Demonrat.
You are right my friend. Boortz is dead to me now. May he quickly retire and rot in hell....
We never are credited for it's sucesses but are always blamed for it's losses.
