“We need someone with coattails -[enough with the labeling].”
Then we need someone tall enough to wear the length we need.
What’s with the “enough of the labeling”? You don’t want to call it like it is. You want to pussyfoot around the deceit, and call it something else? What would you call it? What would you call them? The GOP fought the long established base of the party to get what the leaders of the party want versus the people that support the party, and not the first time. That is an obvious clue as to where the leadership of the GOP has taken the party. Well to the Left of the base, thus as Conservatives have always been the base of the Republican Party they, the leadership are therefore RINO’s. Do you wish to dispute that?
“We need a team, united under a banner of Freedom and Liberty.”
Agree, but with the perspective of the leadership of the GOP today it hasn’t, and isn’t going to happen. We must get the party back to Conservative perspective so we can rebuild the machine to a fighting, winning machine instead of a go nowhere treadmill.
All this mind numbing analysis and GOP navel gazing is getting old fast. No. It got old fast. I am still waiting for the pundit or Freeper to say “See, I told you we should have nominated X.”, and then explain how candidate X would have done better than Romney. Identifying problems without offering solutions is so simple anyone can do it. Blaming the candidate without offering an alternative is equally simple, and equally pointless. And the GOP did not give us candidate Romney; the voters did.
We mostly agree.
The point I wanted to make is that “RINO” has become the default insult and in-your-face tool — it is intellectually lazy.
Let’s improve our language skills, debate and sharpen our arguments.
There is so much coarseness bleeding into our society. There were times that FU (fill in the blank) could be found daily, multiple times on FR.
Joining the rabble does not invite people to take a look and listen to what we have to say or to believe we are well intended people.
