And people claim that Ron Paul isn't a real Republican!
He is the only consistent Republican in the group!
Our country survived 12 years of the likes of Clinton and Carter and it makes me sick to my stomach to think of 4-8 years of another Clinton. The country would survive it but I don’t know if I would.
That is true. I thought for sure that America was gone during Carter Administration and I was in Second Grade when he started. lol. Clinton was painful but did not have the same feeling of doom as the Carter Administration. Another Clinton would be like a knat but I do believe that we will survive but we definitely should at least fight to have Duncan Hunter win the Presidency and then we won’t even have to worry about that at all!
This election Hillry is consumed in winning alll for herself that highest position on this planet is well planned, networked and financed.
Republicans have sought to emulate liberal politicking and they call it the Big Tent what they have become is a circus, and they have demonstrated that anybody can rise to the level of Ringmaster no matter who they are or what they believe.
I think that rank and file Republicans look at the field and see the two most liberal of the candidates - Giuliani and Romney - as the most electable. And unlike the strong socon contingency that posts here, to those Republicans defeating Hillary trumps all other issues.
They see, correctly, imo, that Hillary will change the face of America like no other President has done before her. She is socialism’s Queen Bee, and she is ready to sting.
The policies she could enact with a Dem congress would relegate Conservatism to an unelectable fringe philosophy, by making sure that suffrage is extended to all those that would be beholding to a Democrat nanny-state.
Is that what you want? It’s not what mainstream Republicans want, so Rudy and Romney continue to poll well nationally. I am anti-Rudy on social issues, but I am pro-practicality above all else. (As, I believe, was Rudy, when he was whipping ultra-liberal New York City into shape).
Simply put, we can return to Conservatism after a Rudy presidency (might not his running mate be a staunch Conservative?), but we will NEVER be able to send a Conservative to the White House following a Clinton-redux presidency with a Democrat Congress.
Can you possibly believe that Hillary Clinton will allow herself to be a bridge to the next Ronald Reagan? No, my friends, Hillary will make sure those bridges are burned.
Rush, Sean and Mark will be considered to be purveyors of “hate speech”, and we will lose our voice. They will find a way to circumvent the Electoral College. They will socialize medicine. They will outrage Conservatives with impunity, knowing that we will be outvoted at every election.
This country, this party and Conservatism can withstand a Rudy presidency. They cannot withstand a Hillary presidency.
Freepers, we have to understand that our brand of Conservatism is a subset of the Republican party, even though pro-life-ism is a plank in the Republican platform. All those who are pro-life and staunch second amendment advocates, and put those issues first are Republicans - there are no Dems or Liberals with those beliefs. But NOT all Republicans place those two planks at the top of the platform - that is the cold truth.
Ronald Reagan was the perfect storm. Idealistic and practical, with a clear view of government’s role in our lives. All his views feathered in with ours as social and fiscal conservatives - and he was eminently electable. But candidates with all those attributes are very few and very far between.
But we need Republican Presidents to bridge us to the next true Conservative. That’s why this election is so different. We MUST elect a Republican. We MUST, as unpleasant and frustrating as it is, once again reshuffle our priorities in the name of practicality - and survival.
“Whenever anybody hits Hillary on her personal life, her marriage, or whether she is a lesbian or not, it plays into her hands.”
Good point. And why go there, when there’s so many policy and practice points one can hit her on. My tag line is “Remember Billy Dale” for a reason. This was an essentially low-level government employee that used his entire life’s savings to fight an malicious prosecution by Hillary’s hand-picked hatchet (wo)man, Janet Reno. This would be the same Janet Reno that wouldn’t go after REAL malfeasance in the White House in the form of Goracle fund raising.
And my response if she brings up “you focus too much on 9/11” would be tell her “sure, you’d like to forget it - you were booed off the stage at the first responder fund raiser” and then to ask her how many police/firefighter funerals did she attend. Even Schmucky Schumer made an attempt to attend several and Rudy (love him or hate him) attended every one he could.
This isn’t 92 and 96 - the conservative blogs are numerous, stronger, and Fox News isn’t about to give her a free pass. And while her Media Matters tries to shut up the likes of Rush, Hannity and Beck, the spotlight is being turned on this organization, plus Moveon.org.
I notice Media Matters doesn’t go after Levin. But then again, I believe he told Hiliary and her organization if they even tried, he’d sue them for tortious interference with contract. Time to stand up and push them back, as the Great One says.
>it will be simply the unfair leg up the media is already giving her<
True. And too many Americans are falling for it. We can’t fix that.
Damn it, you caught me!:) I’ll admit it, I thought we were going to gain (Senate, I don’t think I made any firm predictions about the House) seats last year. I thought that Republicans could pull it out. There were just too danged many missteps. As long as no one calls Hillary a “macaca”, she shouldn’t really have a chance.
I don't like Romney any more than Giuliani but he is just apt to be elected and I could vote for him. Giuliani is a Rockefeller Republican Last Hurrah and will give us the permanent Social Democrat state by losing and taking many down-ticket Republicans with him.
That’s absolutely true.
However, it disturbs me to see all these former high-profile Republicans like Armey just throwing in the towel.
Armey’s not a RINO. He’s just stupid, and in desperate need of a glimmer of the attention he once received when in office.
Because they’d rather run a campaign based on fear (against Hillary) than run one based on principles. That’s why John Kerry lost in 2006- he ran against GWB, preaching fear instead of supporting principles and ideas. Of course, that implies that democrats actually HAVE principles. But you know what I mean.
Correctamundo.
And you make a GREAT point! You have to only give people the facts, no speculation or innuendo. There are such imprecating facts out there about her faults there's no need to go downtown and take a left on Surmisal Avenue.
