"To be successful, leading Virginia Republicans such as Rep. Eric I. Cantor have said, the state party needs to start reaching moderate suburban Republicans as well as the state's business community, two constituencies that have shown a surprising openness to Democratic candidates in recent years."

It all finally comes out. I'm surprised at Eric. So he is planning to lead us to compassionate conservatism II? He keeps disappointing and this latest bit of opportunism on his part to overturn our elected Chairman isn't helping.

Conservatives are always obliged to cater to moderates never the other way around. The race for governor is lost. He can’t unite the party. That is his job not ours.

And yet, no mention of how people like Frank Wolf along with Jim Rich have been destroying the party for years. No mention how Bob McDonnell stabbed the conservatives that got him his win in the back over the “Restaurant Ban”.

You want to know how these “moderates” work? Look at what they did to Mr. Mark Tate. They knew they couldn’t beat him in the primary so they had bogus felony charges filed against him so that the “moderate” candidate won the primary by default.

These examples of “Republicans” disgusts me and they offend me. Never, have I seen them putting out yard signs or doing door to door drives. I’ve never seen them lift a finger to make a grass roots effort. People like me however have been assaulted, threatened and worse. One of our conservative grass roots volunteers got HIT BY A CAR!!! (yes, it was a hit and run.)

All of us who do the hard work are leaving the party. I ask, who is going to get their hands dirty putting up signs and spending their free time out getting votes?

As long as this keeps up, I will turn my back to the Republican Party. I no longer vote the lesser of two evils. I’ll sit a particular race out and under vote on the ballot. The Republicans better understand that we aren’t coming back.

Mike

More reasons why America's Independent Party is already the third-largest party in America, even though it hasn't even had its first birthday.

These Rockefeller Republicans are going to get another shot in the head at the convention in Richmond.
