Fixed it.
I’m a ‘small l’ libertarian - but the ‘big L’ libertarian party has a VERY wrong position on a few issues, the primary one being the WOT.
Said Bob Michel -- who never held the Speaker's gavel in his long, long House career.
But Newt got it away from them. How'd he do that, Bob?
I told the last GOP caller who wanted money that I was fed up with them supporting RINOS and that from now on, I’d give to individual conservative candidates that I favored. I told them, “In short, don’t call me, I’ll call you.”
Another example of wishful trash written by Washington Post rejects. It’s a cheeerleading piece designed to calm the knuckleheads in king obuma’s clown court who are losing the PR war and democrat seats. I approve of this propaganda because it envelopes rats in their comfortable cloud of liberal delusion, making way for major strategic mistakes. It reminds of Hitler’s last days as he sat like a rotting mushroom in the bunker moving imaginary divisions around the battlefield map.
This is exactly why they are failing as a party. This is exactly why a talk of a third party is circulating. Folks, through their own admission they intend to play us like a fiddle in 2010.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll this week found that only 20 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Republicans.
(How many of those who no longer consider themselves Republicans because the party left them? Look around they are not turning into democrats, instead these are the people you say you have to placate!)
Republicans in Congress are even more unpopular than the very unpopular Democrats who are running the House and the Senate. This suggests something has to change for a true GOP resurgence to take place.
(Uh...yeah. But they continue to fail to understand the reason for their unpopularity. You can't be middle of the road and hold onto conservative party principles.)
Dede Scozzafava, despite her liberal views
What part of no to any form of liberalism do you not understand? We destroyed the Republican party because we refused to go along to get along with our new founded socialism?
Maybe the Republicans should take a look at a winner, a conservative, someone to get excited about. Sarah Palin!!
Rino fools
They Just dont get it ,what the Hell PRINCIPLES does the MIDDLE have? We are NOt ACTIVISTS we are just Americans who believe in Traditional American Values,Faith Family and country. We Go to work ,pay our taxes follow the Rules and watch Sleaze bag Politicians who Fatten their own wallets at our expense,look the other way when millions of people break the law by coming across the Borderand we are told to shut up and accept it because we are a Country of Immigrants ! I never heard my relatives tell me they snuck across the Border, they did tell me though they were terrified when they landed at Ellis island that if they sneezed they would be Quaranteened.
Health care is a Big issue now and I suppose The Middle would agree that the Pompous Aholes in washington should get big fat salaries and lifetime Health Benefits while the rest of us peasants get what the elite politicians you know our Government SERVANTS,see fit to Bestow upon us .
My Freedom is not for sale to any Moderate and I am sure that if we had an Individual who had the Courage to stand on COMMON sense issues AMERICAN traditional Value issues this Party would explode with people ,you do not have to sell out your ideals to grow, you have to have the Courage to stand up for them
The current RINO Stupid Party doesn’t comprehend that there are many people who voted for the party of Reagan who became independents when the likes of McCain and Grahamnesty became the Stupid Party standard bearers.
If the RINOs would just get out...
Many activists believe the party lost because McCain failed to present a clear and genuine ideological contrast
^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^
Oh, so many “quotes”... so little bandwidth.
The liberal elite snobs already have a party.. why would they vote R?
If the R’s go down in flames again, so be it. I will NEVER EVER again vote for a RINO. Most polls show the majority of Americans are CONSERVATIVE. Except that “we’re all Socialists now,” aren’t we.
Pawlenty = what a joke. Romney = ROMNEY CARE, HELLLLOOOOWW!
It's not just conservatives who are mad at Obama & the Dems but those so-called moderates and independents are mad too.
If the Republicans think by continuing playing nice to the Dems and being me-too Dems are going to win them seats they're smoking crack.
Why aren’t lefties ever considered to be “cranky and extreme”?
At any rate, when the party powers are running people like scuzzyfuzzy, it’s insane to expect the base to toe the line.
I received a pub party congressional survey today that of course included a solicitation. When the survey got to that part at the end, you check a box indicating the amount you will donate ($500, $250, $100, $50, etc.) or “Other”. I checked “Other” and stated I would donate some advice. The advice was to start running candidates who are vertebrates instead of RINOs if they want any money from me.
We don't. McCain lost the election because the interminable war in Iraq lost the support of the "Jacksonian" segment of the electorate. McCain, Graham, and the rest are simply wrong.
Well, Ed, how well did that work out for Obama and his Maoist minions?
Idiot.
Freedom, personal responsibility, limited government, and truth ARE all "wildly controversial" in past ages and, in particular, in this age. They are ideas that motivate people to their highest achievements and many people are uncomfortable with that freedom. They are "wildly controversial" and dangerous to those in power.
Cantor didn’t say we needed to turn left, and he’s not a lefty. He’s nowhere near McCain. I think what he means is that we should use our traditional values to attract people who are shocked and sickened by what they’re seeing in DC.
I have. Several of them.
This one set me off yesterday like a rocket. I was screeming into the phone at John Boehner’s staff and writing follow up letters.
What the hell is so extreme about what the TEA Party folks stand for. If you have to dodge the issues raised by the TEA Party folks as too radical they need to be gone...
It may not be just the rats who experience some grief from the upcoming elections. Pub party powers have a lesson coming to them. Scuzzyfuzzy is about to get her butt whipped to hell and back.
“We can completely take over the Libertarian Party”
I don’t think so but the Conservative Party or the Constitutional party would welcome us with open arms. The only problem with that would be getting on the ballot in all 57 states.
