These soulless, worthless, sellout whores couldn't deliver for their paymasters like they used to do.

They decided to pack it in.

Uh - bye.

Republican and conservative don’t necessarily coincide.

I am not a Republican.

Reps. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), and Charlie Dent (R-Pa.) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) complained about the GOP’s narrowing focus and the perception that the Republicans must pledge loyalty to the president instead of to GOP principles

Um, he's done more for GOP principles than you clowns ever did. You guys seem to have lib wussy principles not shared by the party's base voters, I know I don't share them, I don't wanna give illegal aliens a hug, ok?

Why do Republicans need to be a “big tent” when we’ve got perfectly good Democrats?

That’s true. Of course, the media still endlessly pushes that decades-dead lie.

The only thing that has changed is the liberal Demonrats took a hard left turn, and the liberal RINO’s just went along to get along.

Queer marriage, queers in the military, socialized medicine, State legalized dope, are just some of the radical changes in the last 10 years.

“The Party” is irrelevant. This confusion is, I think, a consequence of its inhabitants styling themselves as our leaders, when in fact they are supposed to be our representatives. When they discover after being beaten over the head with it like a stupid mule meeting a two by four that whatever golden vision they have concocted through inadequate education, over-familiarity with the Beltway illusion factory, and a vast over-estimation of their own importance isn’t reflected by the electorate, yes, they’re going to be a bit confused. They can learn or they meet the two by four again, it’s that simple.

See the quote from Goldwater’s book I put in post number 20. This has been going on for a very long time.

That they are OUTGOING is one of the best parts of the change. Bad people make bad policies.

It’s like nothing has really changed since the day that book was published; just that things have gotten progressively worse along the same lines as noted in there. And who listened? When Goldwater ran for President, the left Alinskyed him with the daisy-picking ad. The book is actually more relevant today than back then.

Goldwater was another pro-queer RINO.

Attention, idiot faux conservative losers. Trump won.

You want a big tent? Go to Dick’s Sporting Goods.

“a big tent party” with room “for a lot of different viewpoints.”

That's actually not a GOP principle, it's being confused about principles. The best way to get nothing done is for everyone to disagree on the right thing to do.

“Royce said he always considered the Republican Party to be “a big tent party” with room “for a lot of different viewpoints.”

This is my congressman. He always seemed very conservative to me. I am very shocked he is big tent guy. Glad he is going now, even though a Democrat I sprobably going to win the seat now.

He did reveal himself to be. Claiming that there was an actual constitutional right to be homosexual was a bald-faced lie. Also, not fighting back against the obvious smears during the presidential campaign showed his true face yet more.

The book was actually written by L. Brent Bozell Junior. Hence the actual conservative tone. I’ll still quote it due to the truth and relevance it contains.
