Ann seems to be siding with the proven losers, capitulators, and big government sponsors in the GOPe. She is probably receiving some type of “remuneration” in return for her props because she doesn’t see any future supporting those who don’t need her. In short, she’s happy to ride the gift horse.
Totally agree. And that’s the main reason the Pubbies keep losing. They don’t stand for anything.
“You sure about that??? In the past 2 decades we have had how many conservative presidents???
I don’t think that is the proper path any more.”
None, No Conservative President in the last two decades. It still doesn’t alter the fact that rules are stacked against the third party candidates as far as getting on the ballot, and I’m also talking about all federal as well as state and local offices and then there is the time factor to get on a ballot and a new party organized. There are still many Conservatives that are hesitant to leave the republican party. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want to see a real Conservative party, I’m saying it’s not likely we could get it up and running in time to be effective. We couldn’t even get Newt and Santorum on the ballot in the Virginia Republican Primary in 2012. At this time I don’t believe there is a viable path to election for a conservative other than the Republican primary.
You want to continue to work through a party that has been taken over by the democrats..
It’s time for a second party.. Once it gets strong enough the republican party will die. Just think if we had done this 10 years ago... Hind sight might be 20/20 but the writing was on the wall 10 years ago with the same power players in power then.
They killed more blacks then all the police in our history have and Holder says zip. Obama does Zip. They live in the same high crime areas of Nashville as the blacks and they have gang wars . They kill whites in great numbers too. They walk free.
I quit giving to the tea party as there are some living off hefty salaries around the country. Republicans as a rule work hard and do not have time to protest.
It cannot win. More divide and conquer BS. The solution is to make certain Reps know they need every conservative.

No, I don’t want to work through a party controlled by democrats but I do want to keep working to get Conservatives elected. The writing was on the wall 10 years ago and if we’d started then we may have had a viable Conservative party by now, but we didn’t. I don’t believe we now have ten years, I believe the only path we now have to elect Conservatives is through the Republican primary, as I said, unfortunately.
Hey, good luck with that. It’s not gonna work.
Pubs don’t need conservatives. There are plenty of Democrat votes they can call on.
while I agree, we have less than 10 years...
I don’t see any viable way to correct this ship. Working through the pub party is useless on the national level. On the state level there might be some hope.
Personally, I can see the train wreck coming... Brace for impact and let them get it over with is my mind set.
Of the 55 Conservative House members and 18-20 Senators, all of them were elected as Republicans. Of the Republican Congressmen and Senators who are not Conservative, I believe all of them use the term conservative in their ads and literature. At this late date I do believe that if we are ever to elect a Conservative President I believe it will be through the Republican primaries and convention in 2016.
You are correct as this nation may not be salvageable now with trillions in debt and illegals all over plus Muslims.. Trying to form a new party that is competitive immediately or in two years is akin to thinking one can recruit, hire, and train crack combat troops and their commanders plus develop doctrine, tactics, logistics and supply channels from this country to wherever they are deployed plus all the other support. Pipe dreams will not get this nation on track fast enough. It has taken some years starting with FDR’s “sit on your ass, smoke a camel, this is the promised land to get us where we are. It was not long ago when an idiot like Obama did zip as our hostages were held in Iran. Some 20 plus trillion will not be paid back overnight either.
I agree. That is why I think Walker is our best hope. We have to win in 2016. We do not have more time.
Do you think this 'rule' might have the consequence of dooming conservatism in America because if we can't get out in person to protest then we will be less motivated to fight back when it matters the most, like when RINOS backstab us conservatives over important votes that safeguard the middle class from 100 million illegal invaders?
However, there is a work-around to this work-hard, less-time-to-protest 'rule' and that is to use digital tools to win the mind, win the war against the obamanation. So keep on posting conservative messages, constantly challenge political candidates in online forums, and spread the conservative message on social media channels, such as FB, Twitter, FR, ect.
Remember, Only Conservatives Dare Defend American Rights.
Equality in America is not colorblind for some Democrat groups. For instance, La Raza doesn’t like the color of black.
I agree. It really is not hard for Walker to proclaim his loyalty to American citizens and not illegal invaders by using his political office to crush the Cheap Labor Express that connects all the villages, towns, and cities throughout Wisconsin.
So because they claim to be conservative you are giving them that title?
Many of them “claim” conservative when running, but few really are. Those that are are shit on by their own party.
I for one do not accept someone pissing on my shoe and telling me it’s raining.
a true conservative will never make it through the 2016 primaries. Just like the 2012 and 2008 primaries.
“So because they claim to be conservative you are giving them that title?”
I said “CLAIM” to be conservative that should indicate that I believe they are NOT Conservative. One of our problems is that to many politicians the term “conservative” has no meaning but is just an obligatory campaign slogan.
If you can organize 50 state primaries for a new real Conservative Party and a Convention AND get this new party on the general election ballots by next year, I’ll vote in your primary.
You and I both know it takes years to build a party, however, I think that is time and money better spent then propping up the GOPe..
