If “hanging together” means holding my nose to vote for the least liberal candidate (You know, the guy with the “R” next to his name), then I’m proud to say I’ll hang separately. Unlike the vast majority of low info R voters, I love my Country far too much to vote for the lesser of evils any more. Plus, I take offense to being bent over by my supposed “friends”.
Now read the article.
It’s a wordy, unfocused article based on a lot of hypotheticals. As far as I can tell, the author has their heart in the right place, but I found this hard to slog through. They should learn to just say what they want to say,
I know at least one of the authors, and he’s got a PhD. I’m pretty sure that they don’t give you one of those if you can still get straight to the point. :-)
“Insurgent” = Conservatives?
A highly negative connotation already in-use by the Oligarchy.
I certainly want nothing to do with the present GOP Ruling Class and will never vote for anyone in that Judenrat party ever again.
That being said - if people are thinking the election in 2016 is going to be anything but a corrupt fraud and a joke with no affect on stopping this tyranny - we are ignorant fools plagued with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.
Okay, then why are you here?
But, when they had started their trek, so many years before, they had been high-functioning adults.
Yup.
If Bonehead and McDorkell are not hung out to dry (or better yet, just plain hung), the GOP is dead, dead dead.
Go through their pockets and lock for loose change.
To Promote Conservatism and our Christian heritage, not Establishment party politics and to share my thoughts as a Watchman on the wall.
Oops, that’s “look for loose change”, one only has to lock their loose change (and everything else) when around liberals.
CW-II doesn’t sound so silly now, does it?
I think he meant to say we need to pick a candidate and support a candidate.
We always have too many. They trash each other and we trash all of them in favor of the one we like.
Truth is, a person needs to be chosen asap because without money, a great machine, and ardent supporters, they haven’t a chance in hell.
That said, I don’t really believe much of this mess is going to get fixed by an election. We have gone way to far for a simple return. The forces are against us and will refuse to allow a win because their ugly future vision is within their grasp.
True dat.
Ditto that. Sheesh it is not that hard to understand this article!
He’s giving two scenarios in which one of “our guys” might have a chance to win and giving more detail on the second option.
It’s one that many of us have suggested over and over. We have debates between invited conservative candidates all through one summer, and then ALL conservatives agree to get behind the winner. (jeb, mitt, etc need not apply). So Cruz, Walker, etc would duke it out in an arena of our own choosing, not in debates sit up and established by the liberal media and the elite. OUR debates run OUR way. Conservatives decide which constitutional candidate wins our support and then we pull together and throw all our support to him.
It’s obvious some on the thread are not reading the article.
Worth repeating in bold italics.
It’s an interesting approach.
Sort of set of primary contests for the primaries.
Another great suggestion would be to run the primaries in the order of their Republican percentage in the previous POTUS election. Instead of starting off with Democrat states like we do now which help guys like Romney build an early lead.
We have traveled this road to tyranny for a long time now and nothing ever changes except for the worse.
We have heard repeatedly that “we can’t do anything until after the next election” blah, blah, blah.
The next election happens and the cycle repeats itself. You would think by now with all that has been lost that we could actually see how ridiculous it all is.
Apparently not, or else we fear facing the truth. After all, there is always the next election and all will be well.
Kind of hard for me sometimes to work up any enthusiasm. it is like a mental treadmill.
It’s called “Normalcy Bias” and most Americans have a fatal case they are unaware of.
God says His people would be destroyed for a lack of wisdom, (Hosea 4:6) because the people would only want to hear smooth and easy things instead of the hard truth (Isaiah 30:10).
I hope the Republicans nominate a Ted Cruz limited government Christian conservative type. But I am NOT holding my breath.
The real question is, what is the smartest way to vote, the best way to help conservatives in Congress, in the 2016 presidential if it's another 2012 scenario of Dem vs Dem Lite?
