Death Comes for the Party
The Bull Elephant ^ | May 5, 2016 | Michael Giere

“What the hell is “conservative” about uncontrolled immigration and corporate trade pacts?”

Donald Trump’s electoral rampage through the Northeastern states and then his stunning Indiana victory – taking all but five counties statewide and walking away with 57 delegates – did a lot more than drive Ted Cruz and John Kasich out of the race.

It has driven a stake in the heart of the post-1988 Republican Party. It’s dead.

I really feel relieved now that the GOP is quickly dying.

I won’t feel comfortable until John McCain and Linda and Paul Ryan are gone.

only then will I feel a little better.

they need to go away.

Do not forget that they fought Trump with greater energy, money and voracity than they did Obama!

It has driven a stake in the heart of the post-1988 Republican Party. It’s dead.
***********************************************************
I sincerely hope so. It hasn’t served anything but the lobbyists and globalists since GHWB was elected. While talking the “conservative” talk, it never walked the conservative walk. And set about to destroy the Reagan coalition and make sure that another such individual could never be the candidate.

I have opined many times that the party would rather lose the Whitehouse, than to have a true conservative or anyone that didn’t go along with their same ole same ole agenda nominated, and boy have they proved that in spades.

By the way, I object to the “conservative” label. Who the heck wants to preserve(conserve) the mess that is today’s FEZILLA?

Let’s talk truth, the so called liberals / progressives are actually socialists, communists, and the enemy of freedom for the individual American Citizen.

George Washington and the founding Fathers were the real liberals - and set up a government for freedom loving people. The enemies of freedom stole the name liberal and applied it to themselves.

A pox on both parties. They almost all sold us out long ago.
I have no use for most of the national congress critters. The best hope we have is that the States will stand up and refuse the FEDZILLA’s bribes and tell them to take a hike, and restore the powers back to the states where it belongs.

One would think this post would be celebrated by Democrats. Instead, it’s celebrated by Freepers.

How things have changed - for the (much) worse.

On one side you have insert-website & on the other side you have RightWisconsin which defends Paul Ryan to th end.

re: the "conservative" label. It's been co-opted by folks who only want to conserve their wealth and power, as the strive to acquire ever more of it globally.

That's why I use the term Constitutional Conservative. There's nothing Constitutional about what these creeps have done. I also like Trump's speech about connecting the restoration of our greatness to the return of the power and glory of nation-states.

You can click that "report abuse" button on your duplicate posts and ask the moderator to delete them for you. They are usually pretty good about doing it within a few minutes.

I've had quite a few of my posts pulled for that reason.
