He was also a hunter and loved guns. Tom Kean Senior doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment either.

Is Tom concerned that the current POTUS is as hard left as they come?

Roosevelt also supported eugenics.

I didn’t see where Kean discussed the effect of the voter fraud on the Republican vote. Did I miss it? /sarc.

The idea that the Republican party has moved to the right is idiotic! Look at the last two nominee's - McCain, who was one of the original 'Gang of 14' members, and Romney, previous Governor of Massachusetts, the most liberal state in the country!

What this election has shown, is that a moderate can not be elected. The Republicans keep thinking that if they nominate a centrist, then moderate Democrats will cross party lines - that will never happen.

It doesn't matter the party, moderates of the party will not cross party lines, and vote for a moderate in the other party, they will continue to vote for the extreme candidate of their own party. And if the party does not put out an extreme candidate? Simple, the base will not come out and vote, that has been proven in the last two elections.

So, while people keep screaming about wanting 'centrists' - IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! The only way a party is able to have it's candidate win, is to noninate someone from the extreme wing of the party.

Bottom line... we must destroy the progressives within the republican party... and anyone that blames the TEA Party for anything is a progressive.

He describes a party that has lost its way, that is beholden to the wealthy,

You gotta be kidding me! The left is loaded, and has done more for the Wall Street elitists (and the elites within their party ) than any Republican could ever dream of.

Make a list of millionaire (billionaire) liberals you can think of. Hollywood, the house, the senate, the activists,....

Now make a Republican list of the same. Can't think of that many now, can you?

The way left portrays itself is an illusion. They accuse others of what they, themselves, really are and what they're doing. When they look in a mirror, they can't see the evil creatures they've become, because evil has no reflection.

The left wing elitists aren't the least bit interested in sharing THEIR wealth. They just want to share everyone elses wealth, and there's very little left of it to share.

The left wing elitists are getting richer and richer while the tax slaves are getting poorer and poorer. If the Republicans want to regain their strength, they've got to take the side of the poor tax slaves. We are a massive voting army going virtually unnoticed. Our drive and our political energy is being wasted, because there's no one to represent us. There's no one for us to vote FOR.

Yup that’s right. All good Republicans should now lay down at the alter of Big Government and must fashion their politics to mirror the late and beloved Robert H. Michel. A good Republican after all is a lite Democrat and is only effective as a beard for the Democrat Party.

They must understand the constraints on the New America where one dead Ambassador, two dead border guards, two dead Navy Seals, one dead computer specialist and thousands of guns being funneled to narco-terrorists in Mexico by our Justice Dept is but a “bump in the road”.

Forward, comrades, forward!

The Republican Party has consistently told us that they DO NOT want us.

The communists took over the democrat party generations ago. It's easier for the RINOs to simply go along for the ride.
The Patriots (TEA party) need to take over the Republicans.

Right now, the uninformed Americans see two parties. A third party wouldn't stand a chance. We need to reform the Republican party. This way, we can bring America back to what it once was. Trying to fight on a smaller, weaker scale would be national suicide.

What gets me is that the GOP HASN’T EVEN BEEN “TO THE RIGHT”...much less GOING to far to the right. Romney was a move TO THE MIDDLE. BUSH wasn’t even that conservative.

What are these people smoking? I know the answer, they have an agenda...the agenda is changing the meaning of words.

The GOP has already become the Tories in the UK...a slightly less socialist version of the same thing.

Where is this “hard right turn” the media and others keep talking about regarding the GOP? If any party has moved from center, it’s the Dems. They didn’t always agree with abortion, gay marriage, high taxes, stomping on religious freedoms, etc. The GOP stance on these issues has moved left, not right.

kean and whitless should go off into the sunset together, these blue-blood millionaire wasps are closet democrats, they are pro-abortion, whitless vetoed the ban on partial birth abortion, they are in favor of population control which is a form of eugenics, support UN initatives, they both left office with $multimillion-dollar deficits and tom kean, put the state on the road to bankruptcy and huge budgets when he mandted a minimum salary for teachers, through parity, that bumped up all the salaries some into 6 figures in the succeeding years. Kean also abused his helecopter privledges by going to “the hapmpton” every weekend during the warm weather for 8 years. He also left the taxpayers with the largest state-employee motor pool in the history of the state. A big spender.

Whitless stole money out of the unemployment trust fund and the teachers’ pension and annuity trust fund to fund a fraud income-tax reduction, sue was sued and had to pay the money back.

It was the “conservative” legislators over the edge to pass the $3-billion spending bill, breraking the law by bypassing the electorate where it should have been a bond issue. In return, whitless gave some of these senators, 6-figure jobs when they were voted out of the senate.

If Kean thinks “greedy” wall street bankers and financiers created the financial crisis, and that people who want to take the Republican Party back to conservative principles should be tossed out of the party, he’s a lot dumber than he looks. He’s got everything bass ackwards.

He describes a party that has lost its way, that is beholden to the wealthy, and that will keep losing elections until it recaptures the populist centrism of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, the two most successful Republican presidents in our history.

More than all I needed to know...
