the republicans have been a party that advocates for a large

federal government and large spending,

since their inception at the civil war.

it was and still is the country club and council on foreign relations.

conservatism is a relatively recent development:

william buckley, ronald reagan, milton friedman, hayek, von mises, and aspects of ayn rand.

as rush says, in order for conservatism to win, we’ll have to take over the republican party.

Just like the socialists have infiltrated and taken over the Democrat party, The Tea Party (real conservatives) need to infiltrate the Republican party and take it over. This is what the establishment RINOS are afraid of. They don’t want to lose their power and influence.

Hate to break it to you, Bob but the Rick Perry machine has already co- opted the Tea Party movement here in Texas. The State Tea Party Express, as they are called, now has a tv ad playing extolling the virtues of Perry and Scott Walker, his peer from Wisconsin. It’s a Perry campaign ad thinly disguised as a Tea Party movement with Walker along for the ride as camouflage. I’m surprised they didn’t wrap Rick up in the Gadsden Flag.
