NOTICE HOW THE PARTY-CHOSEN CANDIDATE ADMITS

he did not even know who the Republican leaders were.

This was not an experienced Republican player. They just picked someone who was NOT a real conservative.

"I had no idea who the chairmen were when the process was designed," Renacci said.

Looks like NY-23 all over again. When will Sarah, Glenn and Rush enter the battle? Soon, I hope.

Forget a third party.

We need a SECOND one.

I’ve been saying the same thing for over a year. There is no longer an opposition party to the Demrat party in America. The GOP has been coopted by the dems via their RINO surrogates.

To those who think conservatives can somehow “take back” the GOP this story underscores my point that the RINOs will not give it back.

They will when the Tea Party Patriots and several million good American people make it clear that it is their best interest to fully support Tea Party candidates. Even Michael Steele was making friendly sounds yesterday.

A quote for RINOs...

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Samuel Adams

This was not an experienced Republican player.

And that's a bad thing?

They just picked someone who was NOT a real conservative.

Any examples or proof that he's not a conservative?

Speaking of tea party patriots, my nominee for Man of the Year...

Rick Santelli and the "Rant of the Year"

God bless him.

How is that?

There is a primary in May as there was none in NY-23

Dede was a crony and a liberal, Renacci is neither.

Besides Miller and Schiffer ran, and lost, in the primary back in 2008 (and will again).

How do these “party bosses” get to BE party bosses?

Are they elected? vote them out
Are they appointed by committee? get on the committee
Did they just arrogate their position? push them out

Some of us have been saying that since we were arguing over Bush Vs McCain for the 2K ticket. Neither were far enough Right leaning to provide a good electoral contrast to the Dems.

Because the GOP ran such a "moderate" candidate, we almost ended up with President Algore.

Looks like the GOP still hasn't learned much since then.

If they cling to the door handle and refuse to leave, taser them...

A) The GOP has learned nothing from experience

B) Their goal is to drive conservatives out of the party entirely because

C) They would rather be in complete control of a minority party than have a winning party guided by conservatives and conservative principles.

D) This is why we must take over the party, not leave

I got my fund raising “survey” from Michael Steele yesterday. I sent it back with NO RINOS in big letters, and said if you want money, the first thing to do is resign.

If I may, it’s not about conservative credentials. It’s about what the party apparatchiks are trying to do.

Fair enough.

There is a solution if you think your local party is being mismanaged.

Step 1. Get elected or appointed to your precinct committee slot.

Step 2. Recruit a lot of like minded people. Most counties have lots of open slots.

Step 3. Vote down such actions and/or oust the party chairman.

This is why Conservatives need to make every election a national election
designed to expose the Rats hiding under the RINO banner. Catching them
running around in their underwear will show exactly who "Is" the RINO
and who isn't.

Make all elections national, Period.

Not quite.

Nothing there I disagree with and a lot I do agree with. Just because someone is chosen by the party chairman doesn’t automatically disqualify them from consideration by conservatives.

The new poll puts the TEA PARTY as more popular that the Crats or the Pubs. The Natives are restless out here.
