Priebus voted for Obama? Somehow that doesn’t surprise me.
Sarah Palin AND Allen West competing for RNC Chair. Even better, IMHO. There are many TRUE conservatives who could run for RNC Chair, but it doesn’t mean that they really will run, unfortunately/fortunately, depending upon one’s interpretation of the relationship between true conservatives and the entire GOP.
I voted for the most liberal Republican in history in 2012....no difference.
He voted For Obama!!!!!!
No, not Priebus, Michael Steele.
Who did J.C. secretly vote for the past two elections?
If the RNC is looking for a black person specifically, why not Allen West? He would be awesome.
Yep and I am still brushing my teeth to get the taste out.
Ok. In this desperate time to get anyone in there besides the status quo I may at times endorse anyone who sounds in the least better on some level. JC may have jumped the shark with his vote but I think given a chance and people holding him accountable he could work out, or he is out as well.
He isn’t a conservative.
The entire GOP and conservatives, in general, “cave” way too often on way too many issues for way too long! When, if ever, is the “caving” going to, finally, go towards the entire Democratic Party and the left, in general?
In a perfect world nobody caves, but we are far from perfect. Just the other day I caved to my wife and teenaged daughter after years or saying no to “skinny jeans” and allowing her to watch certain tv shows. Now I feel I have opened the gates.
Yes I know poor comparison but I still caved to unrelenting pressure.
But, the “political caving” is, assiduously, moving in one direction, only, and this affects the long-term survival of “everything conservative”!
Agreed. Means more work for us.
The GOP approach should be color-blind because prosperity, for the hard-working, is not color-blind. That would mean a practical application of conservatism, a strategy completely unfamiliar to today's GOP-E.
Racial politics is one reason we're in the mess we're in now. Watts could stand to learn a lesson from it.
fwiw- Why don’t you ask J.C.?
Look it up, it was Priebus.
If that’s a fact that can be proven then count me as astonished! I know Reince. We both worked on campaigns together years ago and I do find this hard to believe.
If it is about the NHL strike, I miss my Tampa Bay Lightning!! (but then, I do miss my Whalers, even more!!!)
My profile explains the name that I chose in 2005, when we had Paul Martin as PM. For decades I had more respect for the voters in the US as a whole, than for the people of Canada who elected our leaders. Such lefty leaders as Rocky Waterhole (English translation of Pierre Trudeau), Jean Chretien and even Joke Lark (actually, Joe Clark).
While Stephen Harper is somewhat more ‘conservative’ than any PM that we’ve had in 40 years, his stance on several important social issues makes it appear that he has set aside at least some of the beliefs of his Calgary church, a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. That said, in terms of class, ability, intelligence and fiscal conservatism, he is miles ahead of the fellow who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, between rounds of golf.
It seems that Mr. Harper also demonstrates more of the characteristics of a ‘vertebrate’ than your current Speaker of the House. That gentleman reminds me of two rather famous (now deceased) singers, Alessandro Moreschi or Giovanni Velluti, though more often the former than the latter.
