Tom Cole is the Chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee, In his blog about a week ago he published what amounted to a RINO manifesto. In return he received a torrent of abuse, often obscene. I wonder if they will bring that up?
Steering a country is like steering an ocean liner or a super tanker. Only slight changes in direction are possible. The trend toward conservatism in the Republican party which was dominant during the Reagan years and the Gingrich leadership in Congress, has been reversed. The power of the rinos is pulling us back toward their preferred view of the ‘correct’ direction for our country. They never liked the direction that ‘bible-belters’ took them - the countryclubbers - and now they are feeling power.
If we real conservatives quit being involved, ie, won’t share our party with the rinos in the next few years, the much stronger pull from the leftist/socialist wing of the democrat party will pull the wheel so far over that we (America as we know it) will swamp or capsize (continuing the sailing analogy.)
Maica, congratulations on electing the real Conservative in your primary. That’s where the party will be won back.
Here http://blog.nrcc.org/comment.cfm?entry_id=400 is Tom Cole’s RINO Manifesto and some of the replies to it from Republicans. I didn’t count but if the 400 above is the number of responses, they pulled a lot because there were well over a thousand at one point in time—pretty early. I didn’t check back after that because I pretty much had the gist.
