“I’ve said this before, lots of stuff seems to happen around Mitt without him having anything to do with it.”

He is the nominee and can change any wrongdoing. The buck stops at the top!!

Well I’m f-—ing smart enough to know if you don’t get this piece of chit out of the white hut first, it won’t matter WTF Romney has done.

DO YOU GET THAT...

I haven’t questioned your ability to think. I questioned your belief that Romney can be trusted to respect the law.

From his past history, he has ruled by executive order just as Obama has. This whole power grab of his is a case in point. Given the large number of voices in dissent, the Speaker should have called for a vote. But, these people completely ignored the fact that there was any dissent to this rule and they had Boehner “deem” the rule change as passed by unanimous consent.

I understand that you want Obama out of there. I want Obama out of there, the difference between us is that I am not willing to allow the socialists in the republican party to take away my freedoms at their “promise” to get rid of Obama. They are notoriously bad at keeping promises and it seems they would rather fight conservatives than the democrats.

ABO types say that we have to fight together to get rid of Obama. The GOP-e shows it has no desire to fight together. Instead, they pull off a blatant coup. These socialists think that conservatives are more of an enemy than Obama is.

Your need to be rid of Obama supersedes your love of your freedoms. So that is a trade you are willing to make.

No surprise here our rulers do not want grass roots movement like the Tea Party or the Paulists to gain any power within the GOP. So they are shutting them out. What is surprising is that anyone other then kool aid drinking GOPers are even contemplating voting for the Palin hating anti conservative Rove-Romney gang. That is truly mind boggling. If you are conservative, make your vote count and vote 3rd party at the top.

I don’t understand why people can’t hear mccain, Jeb Bush, Sununu, boner, McConnell and all the other gopE. They’re not conservative. They just want to hold the office for all the perks. They don’t care anymore about this country that Pelosi and Reid.

that is exactly correct. I have read that a large percentage of the voting public is conservative. what would happen if all those votes went to someone other then the Obama/Romney team? make your vote count vote 3rd party at the top.

What does Romney’s RNC power grab mean for the future? At least three things:

To me, it means they think Conservatives are a danger to the RINOs and so they are going to do what they can to start making sure that Conservatives are shut out at all levels.

It also means they think they can win elections without Conservatives.

Honestly, this is something I expect Obama and his cronies to do within the DNC against certain DNC segments, not the Republicans in the GOP.

Mitt and his RINO pals just keep giving me reasons not to support the GOP.

First Obama, then THIRD PARTY!!

The people who are involved with a lot of these maneuverings are the same people Romney would bring with him to the White House if he somehow won.

Apparently Palin said that if Romney was not directly behind this, his people were. Palin is sticking her neck out there.
