The GOP’s fine with going to hell as long as they get to ride shotgun.

Ah, yes, the “wise” D.C. Republicans versus the Elmer Gantrys at the grassroots who don’t know any better.
Too bad this narrative is the same one they used last time.
Republicans are a lot more complex coalition than this report makes things out to be. But it is a conservative party, and it will be going forward.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

If the GOP moves to the right and stands for grass roots fly-over-country concerns, it will strike a massive cord among the American people. Happy Sunday to you all!

Why don’t people like Mc Cains daughter just become Democrats? Then they will feel comfortable with the people who think like them.

When has the left ever moderated from communism?
This is the same old game that progressives have played for a 100 years. Socialism and socialism lite that your choices.
NOPE, socialism or liberty and the Constitution, that's my choice.

Bear in mind that the GOP needs to win in the northeast. Conservatism can sell there. Our candidates up there can win on a conservative, pro-life platform (I believe Carcieri did that, in of all places, Rhode Island, the most D state in the Union). But they have to have the guts to run on real reform and real change, not the faux change Obama offered.
They have to want to give real power back to the people.
That said, the Republican Party is a coalition. There are going to be pro-choice Republicans in this party. They are going to run for office. I’d rather have them in the tent pission out than outside the tent pissing in.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

I don't care a RAT's rear end about "moderating" or "re-casting image" or avoiding being seen as the "party of no." As conservatives, we either hold fast to our principles (i.e., the Constitution & Judeo-Christian culture) or we give the nation over to the barbarians. Now is the time for principle over pragmatism.
If leadership in the pubbie clan do not see this and heed it, they will lose until they do. In the meantime, I am totally open to possibly fruitless third party politics - at least it would stand for something. I no longer have the time of day for compromisers and career politicians.

Wake up boys and girls!
When it comes to the ELECTION............
The conservatives WIN.
The “moderate” RINOs LOSE.
What’s complicated about that?

Disinergrate = Disintegrate

These Republican elite need to be replaced, how do we go about replacing them?
Last time I looked, most people support the GOP on these discordant issues, the issue is they don’t vote for these issues as a priority. You have to give them something to chew on like Obama-maniac.
