Mark Levin on 2016: GOP Must Nominate Conservative for First Time Since Ronald Reagan

Conservative scholar and talk radio host Mark Levin said the GOP is "a party in trouble" that must nominate a bold conservative for president in 2016 if they do not want to get walloped yet again.

Speaking at Values Voter Summit on Saturday with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, Levin, who is cementing himself as the intellectual godfather for conservatives in the age of Obama, said moderate candidates favored by the establishment and stand for nothing will never appeal to Americans who are hungry for leadership.

"It's very, very, important that we nominate a conservative for the first time since Ronald Reagan," Levin said. "There are people under 50-years-old who have never had an opportunity to vote for a conservative president. We want to show them what it's like. It's our generation's responsibility."

Levin said "it's invigorating, energizing" and "almost spiritual to get behind somebody with enthusiasm and excitement. To go door-to-door. That's how you win elections."(continued)

I’m also inclined to support a new responsible third pary. In fact, we should have started pitching one right after the 2010 midterms.

The GOPe hates conservatives (that would be us) and will never give them an inch of ground. We are far more likely to see Christie, Romney or the tone-deaf Jeb Bush than anyone who can even pronounce the word “Constitution” from the GOPe.

It’s them or us and they have their own party while we don’t. Why not?

I first heard about Mark Levin in the 1990’s when Rush Limbaugh was getting started and was being fed talking points from beltway Republicans like Mary Matalin (who worked for Bush 41).

Rush called Mark “F. Lee Levin” and would share what Levin was telling him about issues.

Mark Levin would eventually get his own talk show and be part of a media universe that includes “The Washington Times”, “National Review”, “Human Events” Fox News and so on.

A media universe that has been fed GOPe talking points to keep us “on the plantation”.

Mark Levin says “or else” regarding a RINO nominee for president in 2016. This past primary election season has been an “or else” for many of us here on FR.

Levin pushes the Article V convention notion. Its a peaceful process to be sure, but it doesn’t change the Republican Party’s liberalism-progressivism.

Another peaceful way, but potentially difficult one, is to say enough is enough and go the England UKIP route of today-Reform Party in Canada route from the 1990’s.

If the grassroots break away, the Republican Party-GOPe dragon will be slain.

After McCain and Romney, I think it’s only natural for a conservative to be a little jaded.

Were it that simple. The path taken by the purists will assure we will be steamrolled by liberalism for another 8 years, at the end of which we will be exactly where we are now, hoping for the Great Conservative Hope, but ending up with another fiberal running things. Think about the damage that has been done to this country over this administration and try to convince yourself a Romney presidency would have been exactly the same. If you actually believe that, then I guess the concept of winning truly is lost on those whose litmus test will never be satisfied.

In no way, have you won and you know that to be the truth.

We ‘won’ and win every time we make a post without having to lie to everyone about how liberalism is needed to beat liberalism.

Because liberal is what people are when they promote RINOs since Rinos are liberal Simple math.
