We should call the rinos the “Bush deficit spending and bankster bailout wing” of the Republican party.
There is alot of criticism on here about Romney, Jeb Bush, McCain and others but what about the dolts who asked those stupid questions (not to mention the lame answers they received)? They must have thought they were at a Democrat gathering. “What what are you going to do about people that score low on their SAT?” The right answer would have been “that’s why you can take it again.” It looks as if even the Republican youth has been Obamanized. They think government can do everything. Individual initiative is out the window.
Leaders without followers.
I wouldn’t want Romney stumping for me. If the GOP can’t do anything but rehash the liberals that have already been rejected, I’m beginning to think the GOP is dead.
Typical smart a$$ed kids who think the world owes them a living!
Every town hall, etc - those types are ALWAYS asking about their student loans & anything about college that does not involve work!!
The Republican party needs to realign itself with it’s core base. Supporters of Conservatism are that core base.
So when Mitt Romney takes a leadership role, telling folks like me that it’s time to dump the RINOs, I have just one thing to say. So are you going to jump Mitt, or must we push you?
One of the problems I have always feared about a needed religious revival in the United States, is who would lead such a drive. IMO, you’d get the Bill Clintons, the Barack Obamas, and their minions trying to tell the rest of the nation what moral values were all about. In this manner, the revival would amount to near total destruction of Christianity as we have known it.
This revival of Conservatism in the RP, is being played by exactly the same game plan. We have RINOs telling us we need to dump RINOs, and those RINOs then telling us what new values we need to have as Conservatives.
Blow it out your pie-hole Romney.
When you folks start talking about enforcing the laws on our books, for a starter, I’ll know we’re headed more in the right direction that we have been in twenty years.
Saw and heard one of those very people say the same thing on Glenn Becks show on friday night.All they are looking for is a free lunch.
Face of the gop and that could be the reason they are losing.
And funnier yet the term Maverick Republican!! HUH?? Benedict Arnold and Tokyo Rose were Maverick's as well I could Puke every time I hear that Term for NOTHING BUT an Damm Traitor in our Midst!
You got that right! Unfortunately it is no different with the new Globalist Banksters soiling the White House..

The Bushes are renowned for supporting the intelligence services and for doing pretty darn well in the Middle East...both areas in which we will need a true leader if we get in really bad trouble.
“”If the country suffers another truly serious attack, my prediction is that a lot of people are going to be looking at Jeb very fondly.”
And here’s that uncrossable divide - those who think a person’s last name is somehow a measurement of their leadership ability (Bush, Kennedy, Clinton, whatever) and those who think celebrity and personality contests actually harm the process. Jeb shouldn’t be elected to anything just because he happens to be a Bush, anymore than Kennedys should be elected to something just because they’re good boozers. In fact, I’d support a constitutional ammendment to keep ANYONE named Bush or Kennedy or Clinton from ever holding political office ever again! No more dynasties!
If Republicans are stupid enough to vote for another Bush, I have no sympathy for them. And I say them because I no longer feel any particular loyalty to the party at all. Some people are just starting to wake up and realize their knee-jerk defense of President Bush just because he had an R after his name is what has put the GOP in its current pathetic position in the first place. Such loyalty to a man who had said “Republicans hate immigrants” and people who opposed his immigration reform “don’t want what’s best for America.” Who grew the federal government to previously unimaginable size. Who made the Republican party the party of nation building, of government interference, of spending... Who was responsible for the bank and auto industry bailouts his remaining supporters are trying to pretend were accomplished by the Obamists.
If there’s going to be any fixing done, it should start with recognizing where there were mistakes made. And, HOPEFULLY, avoiding those mistakes in the future. But I’ll be honest - I think the Republican party is far, far, far too stupid to learn from its mistakes. I’m disgusted. I don’t think the party is salvagable, and it’s probably best at this point to start a new party and unload all the dead wood - let them stay in the Republican party where they can continue to backstab their few remaining constituents to their hearts content.
Let them keep the Giulianis and the Romneys and the Bushes and the Bloombergs of the world while the adults go off and build a party thats actually worth supporting.
I don't think Jeb Bush's sky-high approval ratings as Gov. were just because he had a famous last name. Those people down in Florida liked HIM.
I'm not saying I'd vote for him...but I will look at his positions and what he has to say if he runs. In other words I will not discount him JUST BECAUSE his name is Bush, especially if, as I said, a really serious attack occurs.
I laugh these days whenever the press refers to Eric Cantor as the “GOP rising star”. Eric Cantor voted FOR that idiotic porkulus bill that has now bankrupted generations of Americans who haven’t even been born yet.
