If the Republicans allow/aid in the passage of amnesty, the party is DEAD.

Got a fundraising postcard from RNC today asking why I hadn’t donated yet.

I took the card and wrote “If you pass anmesty, I am done with you...GROW A PAIR”...and mailed in back in their postage paid envelope.

I hope they get a zillion of those.

Give me a good alternative, and I’m ready to leave.

two evils both equal EVIL—time for a new breath of Freedom! This should be a movement not a party —It must be grass roots and aim at ALL offices not just the White House. County, City, State, and Congress! We can work with the GOP when we can—but as a national party they are dead.

Finally, a study that gets it right. We’re not voting for politicians we can’t trust anymore. I’ve come to accept that if the RNC lauds a candidate, that person can’t be trusted.

I think this is a pretty good assessment. Anybody think Reince Priebus (Prince Grieveus) gives a damn?

I agree with you. I care about results.....to protect the Constitution. To hell with the party. They sold us out BEFORE amnesty!

Vote for my prick candidate, because he sucks less than the Democrat candidate.

If you track votes cast for each party’s presidential candidates not as a percentage of votes cast, but as a percentage of eligible voters, over the last 30 years, an interesting phenomena appears:

The percentage of votes cast for the Democratic candidate has been pretty much flat - growing slowly from 23% to 25%.

The percentage of votes cast for the Republican candidate ranges all over the place, from a over 30% for Reagan to less than 20% for Dole.

What is going on is clear - 25% of voters will always vote Dem. 20% of voters will always vote DOP. 10% will either vote GOP or stay at home, and 45% will always stay at home.

For the GOP to win, it needs to reach out the folks who’d never vote for a Democrat, but who might vote for the right Republican, but if he isn’t right they’ll stay home.

The problem is that what attracts these sometimes-GOP voters is just as anathema to the professional functionaries of the GOP as it is to the Dems.

I think Pubbie leadership would be happy with permanent minority status if it kept them from having to deal with that pesky Tea Party.

the RNC’s decision to use political consultants was “a perfect example of everything they are doing wrong.”

Bingo: only place a windsock is helpful is on the airfield/flight deck.

Anybody ever even HEAR of him before he became the chairman? I certainly hadn’t. And apparently hadn’t missed much...

I didn’t quit the GOP, they left me.

If I wanted to vote for democrats, I’d be a democrat.
