How many infiltrations and subvertings is the GOP supposed to undergo at one time?
We have evangelicals, Ron Paulies, RINO’s, and now Tea Partiers too? All wanting to subvert the GOP?
The GOP has to change, that’s for sure, but are we ready to rip it apart by all those who desire to “subvert it?”
I agree, the GOP should not take over the Tea Party, but I can see it working together, provided the GOP gets the message to wake up.
It is a power vacuum. When we have weak leadership, a lot of interests want to step in and take it their way.
“I agree, the GOP should not take over the Tea Party, but I can see it working together, provided the GOP gets the message to wake up.”
When it lost control of Congress in 2006, the GOP didn’t get it.
When it lost the Presidency AND even the votes to filibuster in 2008, it STILL didn’t get it.
The same pack of poltroons is running the GOP now as under Bush II and THEY STILL DON’T GET IT!
The GOP is sick. Only very strong medicine can revitalize it.
Unlike the other groups you mentioned, the Tea Party people represent what the GOP leadership has always CLAIMED were their values but never delivered on.
If the current GOP leadership is able to take over the Presidency and Congress, we will have the same old crap. They won’t institute new leftist programs and may rescind a few the Democrats created, but the ESSENCE of the inevitable drift leftwards will remain.
That is no longer acceptable!!!
We want a revitalized and reinvigorated GOP which will bring America BACK to its political and cultural roots, BACK to the concept of limited government, back to the values of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan and even Teddy Roosevelt. Back to the vision of the UNABASHEDLY patriotic and God-Fearing Founders of this Republic.
And Michael Steele, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, etc simply have neither the will, nor the guts nor the intellect nor the vision to accomplish it.
