Why are the liberal faggots at Politico and other leftist outlets so concerned with what happens to the GOP?
Just sayin’....
Exactly how Rush explained it today.
Why should the Demo-Rats care how we fare?
It is they and they State-Run Media who keep advising us on how we should be more "inclusive" when the same standards do not apply to to the Rat party.
Moreover, if what we are doing is so destructive, then by all means, they should be happy and let us go on our merry way to walking off that cliff.
Methinks they doth protest too much as they are worried witless that their Messiah and Politburo (Congress) have awakened the sleeping giant silent majority and see the handwriting on the wall: which is their days are numbered and they know it.
That is what got us into this mess.
We need some solid steps to the right. One of the beauties of incrementalism is that by the time you get 'there' people have forgotten what it was like where they left.
How about I recall building a garage with no permit needed.
How about putting a check in an envelope, and the postman delivering your rifle in a couple of weeks, parcel post?
How about open religious displays during the Christmas season, commerating the birth of the guy that Christmas was named after?
Prayer (optional participation--you didn't say it if you did not want to) and the Pledge of Allegiance said every day in school at the start of the day?
The ability to fill the mudhole on the back of your property and use that land--without permits?
Look America, and weep at what we have lost!
Then dig in. grit your teeth, and gird your loins for the long haul, because we're gong to take it back!
We need to stop calling these rat wanna be`s “moderates” and call them what they are,liberal republicans.
The FACTS the author forgot to mention is that Rubio also beats Meek. The RATS have given up on Florida, so whoever wins the GOP primary will most likely go on to win the seat! Another fact is that among voters who know both Crist and Rubio, Rubio beats Crist. This give Rubio huge opportunity to close the gap and win the nomination.
I would rather use strategy and pick them off one at a time, knowing we had a strong candidate and the right conditions, versus trying a half-assed job with weak candidates in 12 different races going on at the same time.
When is Dick Armey going to replace Michael Steele?
That’s one nightmare that can turned into a pleasant dream.
I agree.
What a waste of a 56 Chevy!
If, God willing, Hoffman wins, we need 434 OTHER Hoffmans to start tomorrow.
Great. All is lost unless Conservatives oppose the unity of the Republican and Democratic parties. Even losing keeps the ship alive. Reagan didn’t win right away either.
Since no one seems to be responding to your shouting, I'll give you a quickee response.
The GOP has to be cleansed from within. A third party choice is viable on a case-by-case basis.
What the Hoffman race has shown is that party officials chose a GOP candidate in wolf's clothing because, they opined, she was the only viable choice to win the seat. A certain percentage of her support was of registered GOPers that presumed she was primarily in line with conservative positions.
As it became clear that this woman was beyond the pale a movement began that gathered steam and Palin broke the dam, followed by...the followers. And presuming the poll numbers hold up the lie told by the GOP that only an ultra-RINO could win there has been proven to be pure fiction.
And that will be the thrust of the various challenges to candidates put forward by the GOP come next year and it will be the fight made before the primaries and in some cases after the primaries. So if your passion is brought on by the idea of a national third party I think, as of now, you are misreading the tea leaves for the most part.
In the coming election season you will see a significant shift in campaign contributions that instead of going to the GOP reelection committees will go directly to the candidate. If the GOP choice is strong the $ will flow to the candidate. If the GOP choice is too RINOish, $ will head to an independent or third party candidate. This is where you will see Palin creating a national movement and a grassroots base that she will need to mount a winning presidential candidacy.
Independent/third party candidates can win and caucus with the GOP when it is in the right and refuse to caucus when it is against basic conservative values.
The bottom line: the GOP big wigs are going to surely learn that they may have the reins to one of the two big parties but they are not the final choice by proxy. They have to earn it and if they refuse to do so then piece by piece, from both inside and outside of the party, they will be outgunned and forced to return to the party's foundational roots.
The only objections are from teh insiders who fear this will screw up the pay for candidacy contributions.
Great analogy.
A few focused victories (crist, ghramnessty, perhaps mccain) and then the RINOs will pay attention.
as it stands now the country club is just shuffling around their pals to find out who is going to be running on which clone ticket.
Where is the balance here? We all know the Democrats are also pushing their moderates out. Lieberman anyone? They’re already threatening the “Blue Dog Democrats” with primary challenges.
Democrats are obsessed with the GOP. It's very odd, and telling...
It appears to me that you are working from a premise that is highly flawed. One problem is that you seem to assume that the party is the reference frame, that if conservatives and the GOP are separating it is because the conservatives are running away. Me, I'm pretty much right where I always have been. If me and the GOP aren't on the same continent these days, it doesn't mean that I went anywhere.
The other, related, issue is that you seem to be assuming there was ever a connection in the first place. Again, just talking about me here, I have voted R in the past because it just so happened that they were the least worst candidates, not due to party loyalty.
The GOP can do whatever it likes. If it wants to go after the moderate vote more than it wants the conservative, that's its choice to make. But my vote belongs to me, to use as I see fit, and the cost of those moderate votes may be running a candidate that I will not support. If there is "running away" going on, it's not me that's doing it.
Get rid of the trojan horse, Michael Steele. He is destroying the party by backing liberals and I don’t mean RINOS or moderates, I do mean liberals. I don’t trust him, can’t stand him, won’t donate a single cent until he is gone.
