Donald Trump said Thursday he would change the Republican Party platform's position on abortion to include exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. Trump made the remarks during a town hall on the "Today" show on NBC on Thursday morning when host Savannah Guthrie asked him about abortion exceptions. "The Republican platform every four years has a provision that states that the right of the unborn child should not be infringed," Guthrie said. "And it makes no exceptions for rape, for incest, for the life of the mother. Would you want to change the Republican platform to...

The political establishment on the right is mostly ignorant of the constitutional provisions that enable political stands to be taken, or, they just don’t care. It’s a terrible irony that the Left has been able to own the bubble-gum wrapper version of what our constitutional rights are, and the so-called right sits there delusional about how to respond. One of the political establishment-types I often read is Peter Wehner. I have written many posts about him, to use him as a perfect example of people who grassroots conservatives know to be following the wrong herd. Wehner does not disappoint, as...

Wednesday while campaigning in Hershey PA, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)said his rival Donald Trump was “afraid of a debate” with him because he lacked “substantive solutions” on policy. Cruz said, “What I agree is that the Democratic process works, and Donald whines and complains when the voters reject him. The voters are going to decide. We’ve won five states in a row. Donald won his home state, which surprised nobody. And it’s the people — we are seeing Republicans uniting behind our campaign. Because if Donald is the nominee, Hillary wins and she wins by double digits....

I am a big fan of Michele Bachmann, and I supported her candidacy for President of the United States. When she dropped out, I was forced to survey the field. I immediately ruled out Mitt Romney and Ron Paul – neither of which are conservatives. That left me with three people: Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum. But who would I vote for when the primary came to my state? I knew of Newt Gingrich’s record in the U.S. House of Representatives and Rick Perry’s record in Texas, but all I knew about Rick Santorum was that he was...

Are you a conservative man? Does every news story on the Republican primaries cause inexplicable knee jerk reactions? Are you beginning the long, painful symptoms of carpal tunnel from commenting too much on political forums? Are you having panic attacks at the thought of a Mitt Romney victory in South Carolina? Have the words, “Santorum has got to drop out…he’s splitting the conservative vote,” or “it’s finished,” become part of your everyday lexicon? If you’ve answered yes to all of these questions, you’re likely a man that suffers from ‘Premature Pull-Out Syndrome.’ But you’re not alone.

From Payback Pictures™ comes a tale of intrigue, revenge and blood thirsty politics. The Shores of Lake Winnipesaukee is a movie that’s so dark that only political junkies will enjoy this incestuous hotbed of RINO politics. It is the story of one Republican’s maniacal pursuit of revenge on his fellow Republican candidate – a man so driven that he is willing to derail his candidacy for the sake of eliminating the competition. If you liked Santorum Spanked The Establishment, you’ll love The Shores Of Lake Winnipesaukee.

We want to know what you think before the results are in. So who indeed wins the Iowa caucuses? Is it Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Santoru, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, John Huntsmann? We know those of you on Free Republic are clairvoyant and we want to know.

Since my registration on this site, January 15, 2004, I look forward to the New Year and my seventh anniversary with the finest conservative minds across the globe. It is this place that exhibits more generosity than every country combined. There is no finer place on the Internet. Over the course of 2011, there has been no better display of patriotism and Americanism than this beloved Red, White and Blue forum.

It’s time to admit the obvious! It’s time to discuss Michele Bachmann’s failed bid for the President of the United States. She’s doomed! She can’t win! It’s over! It’s time we took a hard look at the truth at her run for office, her lack of conservative credentials, and find out just exactly what Michele Bachmann hasn’t done as a Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota. It has become apparent that Bachmann has ignored conservative principles. She is, in essence, a RINO of the largest sort. After all, she lives in the state of Minnesota, and Minnesotans – as a rule –...

There is no better example of...

Are you a Democrat? Have you always wanted to live the lavish lifestyle but have no drive or desire to get it for yourself? Has your redress to the federal government – like the Occupy Wall Street crowd – left you out in the cold with a sore anus? If you’ve answered yes to all three questions, you need to learn how to acquire things the old fashioned way. You beg for it. That’s right. You need to get down on your knees and do some groveling. And here at the School Of Seminar Begging, we teach you not only...

With all of the talk of Ron Paul’s foreign policy, we wanted to know what is the most dangerous threat to the United States today. As usual, we go to the finest gathering of conservatives minds found on the internet. We go to Free Republic. We would love to know if Iran is the greatest threat. Is China the greatest threat? Is Barack Obama and the Democrat Party the greatest threat? Or is it the Republican Establishment that’s the greatest threat?

With Christmas coming and so many people unemployed, we have President Obama and the Democrat Party to thank for it. For many people, Christmas is being virtually flushed down the toilet while Obama flies off to Hawaii for another vacation and more rounds of golf. But here at The Right Elective Decisions we decided to have some fun and ask Free Republic if Obama were an inanimate object, what would he be?

With all the fawning over Ron Paul and his fiscal policy, it isn’t just fiscal policy that makes an effective President of the United States. It also takes sound foreign policy. So, we want to know what you think of Ron Paul’s worldview and how that worldview may affect the role of the United States of America in the world.

Cupertina, CA – In what could be the biggest move since the invention of the newest iPhone, Apple has reached out to liberal a$$hats by grabbing a new spokesperson to praise their newest iPhone product the iPhone 4S. Apple has snagged none other than Alec Baldwin, fresh off his tantrum with American Airlines, to reach out to his fellow a$$hats...

So, Santa is asking American conservatives, knowing they will have the solution to the troubling problem.

From the minds of Establishment Entertainment™ comes a political thriller that will rock the American countryside – a gripping saga of one Republican’s attempt to finally make it to the White House, betting all odds that delegates will select him at a brokered convention. It’s political suspense at its finest. If you loved The Sum Of All Fears, you’ll love Brokered Convention! Starring, Mitt Romney as the establishment, snake-oil salesman that will pay any price to get the Republican primaries to the convention floor: “Romneycare was about states’ rights, damn it! It’s my turn. I’ll bet you $10,000 this goes...

Over the years, Mitt Romney has amassed a wealth of stuidity. We’d like to know what you think is the single stupidest thing he’s ever done. Is it Romneycare, Global Warming, hiring John Sununu or what? As conservatives, what do you say?

With his recent comments on President George W. Bush and 9/11, what is Ron Paul? Is he a crackpot, a moron, a rabid leftist, a weasel or a schmuck? He has always held the belief in isolation for U.S. foreign policy, but these latest comments should be more than even his supporters can take. What do you say?
