.............. Either the current, longstanding GOP establishment will finally cede control of the official banner of political conservatism, or the traditional two-party system, and with it the American republic, will dissolve.
-SNIP-
Under present circumstances, this means that the truest voice of constitutional republicanism .... is being choked out in favor of the "go along to get along" model of political survivalism that has typified the Washington GOP for several decades.
-SNIP-
This is where America's soul resides, all wishful thinking aside, after forty years on the present GOP establishment's watch. And in response to the laying of the last straw in this breaking of America's back, the GOP establishment has turned not against the left, but against the supposed extremism and instability of the Tea Party and its preferred electoral representatives. They are making an Ivy League plea for "sobriety," for avoiding "intemperate" characterizations of the left and its intentions, and for a stoic resignation in the face of national demise that masquerades as intransigent optimism. This in spite of the fact that it was precisely such GOP sobriety and temperance in 2008 that made possible the presidency of Barack Obama, with his well-creased Ivy League trousers.
And as the two-party system grants them the strategic advantage of a monopolistic hold on public conservatism, they can attempt to withstand the Tea Party threat to their privilege by challenging grassroots conservatives to a game of "king of the hill."
-SNIP-
Somehow, the current establishment must either accept its failure and seek to make amends through radical change, or be pulled off that hill atop which it has too long presided.

Jim, I feel the same way you do, Romney is as rino as they come, but that is not what this election is about. It's about an American, Capitalist vs. an Anti-American, Anti-Capitalist.
I don't blame you for NOT voting for Romney, however I just can't let Obama remain...I am going to FIRE his charlatan radical ass pronto!
Reagan easily one the greatest presidents in US history , would get booted today.
He was union member.
He headed a union.
He signed into law the “therapeutic abortion” which swept the nation.
He signed the law that mandates ER’s to take all patients regardless of ability to pay- an UNFUNDED mandate.
No one is going to match what the Pharisees await.
To them it’s about one thing: religion.
Along with being a RINO, Romney has absolutely no charisma, no real message, he is a horrible speaker, little experience, and stands for nothing. His wife does most of the talking. I know it means little at this point, but Gingrich and Santorum would be all over this and we have been duped again. Sadly, there is no room for error this time.

Oh, so you feel the need to run down President Reagan in defense of Romney in the name of religion? Bad move.
BTTT!
That’s a great post right there.
If you’re going to run down Reagan in some idiot attempt to elevate your favorite abortionist/homosexualist statist RINO, you can get the hell off of this conservative site!! I’ve zotted better people than you for pulling this lame argument!! Keep your lame ass RINO crap off FR!!
Myth Romney can kiss my ass!! The GOP-e can pound sand!!
I wouldn’t vote for that Democrat mole if he were the last Republican standing between me and the deep blue sea!!
We can live without them and their 10 trillion dollar debt load, much easier then we can live with them. Propose that after the US splits up, all Federal Employees should be personally responsible for the debt of the Federal Government. Figure that works out to roughly a million each.

As I said, bad move.
Buy a fricken clue, you RINO lover. Do not run down Reagan!! Do not dare try to compare Romney to Reagan!! Romney compares closer to Obama than Reagan, you fricken RINO/STATIST idiot!!
Romney is an abortionist/homosexualist, gun-grabbing, liberal judge appointing, mandate loving, socialist healthcare pushing, big government loving STATIST creep!! He’s the complete opposite of Reagan in EVERY respect!! To compare Romney to Reagan is like comparing Obama to Lincoln or Washington!! Romney is Obama in drag!!
Get the hell out if you don’t like it, bozo!!
Reagan regretted his bad choices.
This of us that could see past his imperfections-
know what a great president he turned out to be.
You’ve been warned, clueless one. Suggest you back the hell away posthaste. The proposed truce was meant for the conservative but ABO posters among us who fear Obama so much they’d temporarily set their principles aside to vote for an abortionist/homosexualist statist/socialist bastard just to keep Obama out of office. Those who openly campaign for Romney as if he were a conservative and run down our real conservatives in the process or wantonly attack our pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government conservative posters on FR are very likely to get the zot! Capiche?
bflr
Which of those do you think is most likely to do that?
None. They’re all being held hostage in a GOP-e chinese cookie factory.
If any were to break free, I’d bet on Palin. Alaska is a different world and Todd Palin has a history of 3rd party support.
I shouldn’t use her failure to do that as an excuse, though. The Founders all would have had much easier lives if they’d decided it just made sense to bow to the demands of the King. At some point it becomes my responsibility to do the right thing for me.
