“Phillips, who headed the Office of Economic Opportunity during the Nixon administration, frequently likened the modern GOP’s refusal to take a definitive stand protecting all unborn children to the Whig Party’s refusal to oppose slavery – a dodge that led to its implosion and the birth of the Republican Party.”
My guess is the issue will be immigration and the GOP’s refusal to protect taxpayer’s interests above a potential “mythical” voting bloc.
I can identify with where you’re coming from. However, the Bushes and McCain are probably more liberal than Romney, and another Obama term means the end of the United Staes of America as we know it.
Obama must be defeated at any cost. We can turn against Romney and form the third party the day after the election.
Fully aware of the Whig Party. Give me your interpretation of what I wrote so I can straighten out what is apparently a misunderstanding of my intent.
I’m saying it’s time now for the GOP to go the route of the Whigs. What are you reading that I’m saying?
You need to just say “Do the right thing GOP or else”, then flash your skull gif and let them suffer the consequences.
If only it were that easy...
Apparently, in my drunken stupor, I completely misuderstood what it was you were saying.
You just made my smart ass list. Congratulations. Having read your posts many a time, I thought you had a brain in your head. My error.
I fear that Sarah Palin has many on the right hood-winked. Her latest suggestion for a third-party run was to appease the GOP establishment and run a third party candidate against the most conservative GOP Senate candidate to come along since Jim Dement: Todd Akin. Now why would she side with Reince Priebus who said this week that he would not send Akin a dime even if he were tied with McCaskill (which he apparently is according to the latest PPP Poll.) In other words, he’d sacrifice the party RATHER than stand by a true conservative.
Also, let’s not forget Palin’s propensity to play to the feminists, once calling men who believe in stay-at-home mothers “Neanderthals.”
