The Tea Party is growing up. In time this rule will come back to bite them in the be-hind!
Ping, I think some people will really be surprised when they learn the GOPe’s position on this.
RINO’s have always hated conservatives more than liberal Democrats. Look at how quickly the GOPe jumped on Todd Akin (and defend every liberal Republican) and numerous other examples.
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
King Arthur: Shut Up!Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.
King Arthur: Shut Up!Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.
King Arthur: Shut Up!Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
King Arthur: Bloody peasant!
Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you?
Did we all notice that the polls give Romney only a 3% jump in the polls? The failure to invite Palin, West, or Arpaio to speak alienated — or, at least failed animate — millions of regular, everyday conservatives. Then, this disenfranchisement move by the GOPe against the grassroots was the coup de grace. This marks the official end of the GOPe-Conservative Christian alliance in the GOP. From now on, the party will be exclusively GOPe, and will go the way of the Whigs. Typical Rovian strategy. Remember under Rove’s advice, Bush BARELY won two elections that he should have won by a landslide.
Reagan’s campaign strategy was to HIGHLIGHT the differences between his positions and those of his opponents (and won twice in a landslide). Rove’s strategy is to hew to the middle and try to peel off enough independents and disgruntled Dems to barely squeak out a victory where the candidate truly stands for little more than sanitized Democratic policies.
Romney has — at least for the time being — lost my vote through this convention rules-change disenfranchisement attack on the grassroots, as well as through his break with the Party Platform’s position on abortion. (I was never happy with him, as — between him and his five sons — not one of them has a single DAY’s service in our miiltary. I find this odd in a man who wants to serve as our country’s commander-in-chief. Remember, the GOPe infinitely prefer to have the conservative Christians send off their sons and daughters to die in foreign wars while they (and their GOPe progeny) stay home where it is safe and orchestrate control over the future of the GOP.)
In the 1950s, William F. Buckley, Jr., led a group that expelled open Jew-haters and isolationists from the Republican Party. Romney and the GOP elites intend to do the same to limited-government and social conservatives.
The intend to make the GOP the counterpart of the ‘moderate socialist’ so-called ‘Christian Democrats’ of Europe.
After the November election, it is time for Real Conservatives to dump the GOP and start a conservative Third Party.
Lets see if the GOPe can win elections with a coalition of Illegal Aliens and Log Cabin Gays...

Please read this piece by Laz. There seems to be more to this than at first appeared and it MAY give us some ammo to get ourselves a new Speaker next year...and I mean to replace Boehner.
Rockefeller Republican George Romney and the modern conservative movement..
July 8, 1964
GOP Warned To Beware Of Extremist May Destroy Republicans: Romney Reject infiltrators and purveyors of hate, said the Michigan governor . . . .
Move the little rectangle slightly up and to the left to see story.
Watch out for those Party dudes. They play for keeps. I remember.
In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."
I recall that following the 1964 election a small number of liberal media types asking did they go too far trying to destroy Goldwater. Apparently the RNC says, "No you did not go far enough."
The Republican convention’s main theme was the economy and getting people jobs. Can anyone explain to me why illegal immigration was not addressed? Afterall America now houses aprroximately 20-40 million illegal aliens of whom at least half have taken American jobs.
