I don't think that that's the end result of this because of the patriotism of these people and the very nature what this election's all about. This is not going to change that. At any rate, Bill, I appreciate the call. Thanks much. It really is an inside baseball subject. It's real, and it is happening, and it is an effort by the establishment to deemphasize conservatives -- and if they're not careful with this, they're gonna end up causing their worst nightmare to happen, which is third party. If they're not careful, that is where this is all gonna end up.
END TRANSCRIPT
The GOP has left conservatives, with its leader
the author of DEATH PANELS and gay marriage.
Why bother...
Third Party loses, so does the Republican Party in a 3 way contest.
Still, we have little choice but to go Third, but given we conservatives have leaders who either lost, left the race, or didn’t run at all, and who ALL endorse now a socialist/Marxist at the top of our ticket, I will be looking elsewhere for the leader competent enough to be fearless, show himself, and RUN without personal issues, excuses, and never backing down.
Time to go buy some more ammunition and food, because Obama is going to win this election... and the nominee from the RINO party could care less, as long as he has more political control over the little people.
Hopefully the hatred of O will supersede this stupidity. This can be addressed later. There is plenty of time to form a third party. It doesn’t need to be done now. Do it now and we won’t need a third party...cause we won’t have a country.
If the GOP can’t defeat Obama and produce a conservative Presidency, its dead. It will never run another candidate who has a serious chance of getting elected and I have supported Romney and will continue to do so.
Previously I have always said a thrid party can’t fly. But if those people down there blow this, the GOP is finished and its time to establish a third party and drive the RINOS over to the Dems where they belong.
All those who are surprised the GOP wants to usurp states rights...again? It’s not like they don’t have a history of it going back to the VERY BEGINNING.
This is unlike Rush, the rules fight has already been settled. Hello? McFly?
I’m getting old and having trouble breathing. Never smoked a day in my life but...
What happened today in Tampa pretty well puts an end to any hopes I might have had for a peaceful return to a constitutional republic. I believe it was John Kennedy who said that “When peaceful revolution becomes impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable.” I am no longer represented by anyone in either State of Federal office. I am required to pay taxes to support both those entities but I can’t influence what my money is spent on. Does that sound like “government of the people, by the people and for the people” to you? Thought not.
Well, it doesn’t make any difference to me — I wasn’t going tovote for the S.O.B. anyway. Romney/Obama, Obamney, Robama, whatever. You can’t tell ‘em apart in a dark room. This is just another reason to vote for the person (not neccesarily the candidate) you feel is best qualified for the job.
Whichever candidate wins the Presidency, we Americans are going to lose. Voting for either of them is tacit approval of whatever they do. They’ll be doing it but you will have enabled and approved it with your vote.
Enjoy the descent into Socialism. You’ve earned it!
Vote Sarah Palin. Your vote may not count for her but at least it won’t count against you!
I thought there were candidates, and then people who voted for those candidates. And I thought that ultimately, it was the voters who were supposed to determine the direction of the party by voting for a certain candidate.
But apparently not. Apparently, there are these "grassroots" people, various "committeemen" and other party functionaries. And those folks are supposed to have the real power as delegates to do what they think should be done, rather than pay attention to the actual voters.
These party committee members, etc...do they run campaigns to be elected? Because I don't recall hearing about their platforms, or knowing their views. This sounds to me like the folks int he smoke-filled rooms want to toss out what the voters actually want, in preference for their own ideology.
And this has absolutely nothing to do with liberal or conservative, because the process itself is ideology neutral. It could just as easily be "RINO" moderate types at the state level trying to undermine voters who pick a more conservative candidate. If I vote for a candidate in a primary, essentially giving him/her my proxy, then why shouldn't that candidates delegates be from a slate he/she selected? After all, aren't those the folks whose views are most likely to align with the person for whom I cast my vote?
