Same crap since they stole the nomination from Taft for Dewey.
No more.
My vote has to be earned. The GOPe has so much as said that they don’t need it, don’t want it.
So be it.
republican party has lost me for the forseeable future over this
Shouldn't you have used a sarcasm tag? The friggin' Republican party just screwed conservatives over big time, and you want another whack? Geez!
If you let the process of decay proceed for too long a time, you reach a point where the growing underclass controls the democratic process, and they vote for the gimmee party, not understanding that it is the source of their poverty. At that point, the only remedy is a military coup.
Ya don’t say....
Consider how much less power those Tea Party reps would have if Pelosi were still Speaker.
Consider how much more effective Ted Cruz could be if Dingy Harry were not Majority Leader.
Last night I has a Freeper spouting the Dem talking point about todays GOP being more conservative than the Reagan era GOP.
We are thoroughly infiltrated with GOP operatives, either paid or of the useful idiot variety, and it will get worse as the tide turns against the party.
True. And so you propose strengthening the 'Rat Party as the superior alternative?
The only reasonable goal is (1) to take both houses of Congress and (2) then fight it out with the GOP-e after the election.
“Any Republican is superior to any Democrat, if only because being in the majority gives control over the parliamentary process, allowing the true conservatives greater ability to be effective.
I’m going to disagree with that. At the point where the GOPe will stoop to levels seen in MS, they need to be taught a lesson. And yes, some of those lessons may cause Dems to accede to office/power. It is intolerable to have traitors in our midst. That is the only thing that will prevent repeat performances of MS.
It would be worth it to discredit Rove at al once and for all....not that I could guarantee that outcome any better than you [generic you] could guarantee that electing even a flaming dirtbag Republican would be better than electing any Democrat.
The way the MS election was snaked is intolerable and must not recede into the rear view mirror of complacency. That’s my bottom line.
Rove said the win was “amazing”.
Reagan always saw the GOP-e as a bunch of wimps. “We had rabbits when we needed tigers," he wrote in his diary. "With some of our friends, we don't need enemies. I’m afraid I blew my top at one point. It seemed to me they [GOP Establishment congressmen and senators] are willing to let the Dems run with the ball because they don’t think we can stop them. I told them before we do that, it’s time for us to agree on our position & then let me take it to the people (TV) & smoke them out. The way we’re going we’re not exerting any leadership."
And those wimps were STILL more conservative than the open Democrat collaborators we have today.
the DEMs of Tip O’Neil were more conservative than the majority of GOP today.
Get a grip. Do you not understand that there is NO difference anymore?
The travesty in Mississippi proves it. GOPe are ‘Rats. Same party and I’m disgusted with them both.
A little edit of your very accurate post.
They were talking about this on the Chris Wallace show on FOX today. The panel included Rove, Hume and a couple of others. Of course the horrendous dirty tactics used were not mentioned. They just talked about how amazing it was that more came out on the primary run off than came out the first time-again no mention that it was black democrats or why it happened. Disgusting.
You probably have no idea how bad this makes Karl Rove, Brit Hume and Chris Wallace look. The trust is gone. They look like shills for Haley Barbour. And with good reason. They are shills for Hayley Barbour whose obvious goal is to name the next Senator from Mississippi when Cochran retires in a year or two. One would think this would be NEWS. Apparently not on Fox.
I'm sending you this in hopes that someone on your staff will get the message and talk you into letting people know how the GOP played dirty Democrat politics to win the election, actually steal the election, for Thad Cochran.
If Fox News is going to have any credibility at all, and they lost a ton of it this Sunday, they had better turn you lose to cover this story the way it should covered.
Remember Mississippi!
We will all be thinking about Mississippi this November
They are not shills for Barbour, they are shills for the GOP-E no matter what state it is in.
True enough. But in this case the major beneficiary was Barbour. He financed it and he will reap the rewards when he names the next Senator from Mississippi. And this trio was covering for him. It was disgusting.
“If you let the process of decay proceed for too long a time, you reach a point where the growing underclass controls the democratic process...”
We’ve already reached “the point”. We’re rapidly moving past it. The “do over from scratch” that the earlier poster talked about isn’t something conservatives will initiate. It’s coming regardless, because the current economic/political setup is unsustainable.
“Any Republican is superior to any Democrat, if only because being in the majority gives control over the parliamentary process, allowing the true conservatives greater ability to be effective. “
Ahhh... a true believer.
I sympathize, since I used to be one also.
I gently tell you that you are lying to yourself. We have exactly the government both side want. To the degree they get you to believe that line of bull is the degree that you are irrelevant and simply a tool of the Plantation.
