I think we also can agree that liberaltarians as they are now known are the natural enemies of conservatives.
At the risk of inciting a riot, I have to disagree. It appears to have been the loonie holier-than-thou moralists who were willing to throw the entire nation under the bus to protect their holy purity.
"Libertarians" aren't the ones who stayed home and gave us another four years of hell and worse.
No, we can’t agree on that.
You have to build coalitions to win national elections. Start by embracing the libertarians and projecting an image that’s more inclusive and mainstream.
George W Bush did it in 2000.
How about we just cut to the chase.... Since the republicans (present ruling class) have betrayed everyone outside DC how does that translate into a libertarian enemy of conservative?
The issue is not the libertarians the issue is the republican party that is absolutely no different than the democrat party, and neither of them have a place in their platform for you,I or anyone other than the sycophantic masses who know,
the golden rule,
Those that have the gold, rule.
and to them we are insignificant to the grand scheme of things.
Any one could see from before the first debate that the clowns who ordain the candidates that there was no real candidate that was going to be worth voting for...
Hell, even this site was dead set against the thought of voting for Romney.. not finding fault or disagreeing, just a matter of fact.. I have been voting for the last 40 years and it is the same crap every time with one exception, Reagan... but the sh!t candidates that was given to us to vote for was either was so weak they had zero chance of any thing or wholly unelectable, (see McCain).
The real issue is "WE" do not hold these elected officials accountable.
The Constitution provides a remedy for every ill this country is suffering, yet we just sit back and blame everyone else for our own failing....
I was lambasted for posting "I will never vote for another RINO again".
So, my question to you is WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR SUCH A CRAPPY CANDIDATE, and expect anything other than a loss?
The other thought is why aren't the republican party screaming from the rafters about the election fraud? Perhaps they are complicit in the debasing of this country?
Wake up and smell the tyranny from our rulers, or just go back to blaming everyone but the guy in the mirror....
Republicans are losers. Conservatives need to either take the party over by insisting that no leadership positions be allowed to those whose states haven’t gone Republican in three of the last four elections. If we can’t take over the party, then conservatives should start their own. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
As for Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, they better forget any thoughts of a GOP run for president. They couldn’t be elected dog catcher in most Red States.
If the GOP can’t court Libertarians with real smaller government, not the phony usually-not-growing-quite-as-fast-but-sometimes-faster government they always produce, they’ll never win again.
you, sir, are an idiot...
wanna know why the party is deeply divided?
because people like you choose to toss aside those that are your natural allies, those that are more constitutionally minded then yourself, and then rant when they leave in droves and you lose an election...
Nope. it’s a base the Republicans should be able to count on if they would quit nominating blue bloods. Romney being a member of a cult hurt also.
