Reince Priebus previews RNC ‘autopsy’
Politico ^ | 3/17/13 | EMILY SCHULTHEIS

Posted on 03/17/2013 2:46:53 PM PDT by jimbo123

A much-anticipated Republican National Committee Chairman report due out Monday on how to reverse the GOP’s fortunes is expected to call for fewer Republican debates, a condensed primary calendar and an earlier party convention.

In an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus outlined those three main recommendations for the 2016 presidential election. The RNC’s so-called “autopsy” — a detailed review of the GOP’s 2012 failures and roadmap going forward — will also include suggestions to improve the party’s digital capabilities and bolster its voter database, among other proposals.

Priebus is set to unveil the plan — titled the “Growth and Opportunity Project” — Monday morning at the National Press Club.

Well, I’m one of those “people in the South”, and I’ll have you know that’s one of the dumbest, most asinine statements I’ve EVER heard a person make.

Never in my life have I ONCE come across a person, Southern or otherwise, who desires to form a Christian theocracy in this country as a form of government. Do you even understand what you’re saying? No....no, of course, you don’t. To you, Southerners (”bitter clingers?”) who don’t advocate the “separation of church and state” BS want a theocracy.

Go read your history and get informed. Learn what a theocracy IS and find out what freedom of religious expression means.

Impossible to dispense with us, huh? You little snot. I have news for you-—I’ve already thrown the GOP out with the garbage. Many of us have. Good luck with your next moderate candidate.

You’re not getting a lot of disagreement from me. If all we can get are moderators who think embarrassing Republicans is job #1, then we need to cancel them all.

As have I. As have just about everyone with an IQ above room temperature.

Of course. Those people have no real power. The GOP uses them to get votes and drops them like a hot potato after elections. It’s not they who are presently occupying the Oval Office.

Forgive me, but I'm not aware of any Repulicans who currently occupy the Oval Office.

Who is it that has "no real power"? And who is it the GOP "uses" then "drops like a hot potato". And, if that is so, why are you worried about them?

You’re right. Me and any sane person would be concerned about Barry and his crew.

Well, that’s all fine.

I don’t know if I am supposed to be one of the hysterics you’re talking about.

But if the best we are offered is “I have never advocated” or “I have never opposed” blah blah-—then the conservative vote turnout will be even worse in the next election than in the last.

We need to have a guy who actually articulates the conservative message and has some passion and ability to move voters. If you run deadbeats like Mitt Romney, you will lose every time.

I will say this, though. At least you own up to your contempt for evangelicals/Southerners, and your willingness to tolerate us as long as you can get some benefit out of our votes. We’re well aware of that, of course. But it’s a trip to see it openly admitted.

“At least you own up to your contempt for evangelicals/Southerners”

That’s a whole lot of projection on your part.

Just don’t send any stupid “surveys” because they’ll all end up in the trashcan without being read.

If the party doesn’t know by now what Republicans want they might as well fold their tent and disappear.

Yes, and he must be a passionate advocate for Life, Family, Liberty, guns, private property, borders, religious freedom, economic freedom, individual freedom, states rights/federalism, the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration, constitutionally limited small government and ALL of our God-given unalienable rights!! Otherwise, to hell with him.

Our most basic founding principle: Our rights are a gift from God Almighty and we share in them equally and they are unalienable, ie, government cannot deprive us of same. And our founders listed specifically: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, ie, every other right granted us by nature’s God (virtually undefined and unlimited). And they set forth our recourse as a free people when government fails to respect the founding principles. Look it up.

People who push to surrender any of our God-given rights are unwelcome intruders on FR.

FR is an exclusive site for God, Life, Family Liberty, Constitutionally minded grassroots conservatives. On this, you’re either with us or against us. There is no in between.

So shut your pie hole about giving up our rights or get the hell out!!

Thank you for the allowance of a little plagiarism, Mr. Robinson.

Agree on that.

And not only the conservative message but with some style, some excitement.

I know “style” may seem irrelevant to purpose but it is not irrelevant to campaigns.

I am old enough now to say that every presidential campaign in my life, going back to JFK, was won by the guy who seemed a little more likeable—with the single exception of Nixon.

Nixon was the better candidate, and the U.S. was a troubled nation back then too, and he was the one prepared to deal with the troubles.

But he wasn’t necessarily the guy an average American would choose at a backyard barbeque over Humphrey and McGovern. As a politician, yes...as a neighbor down the street, probably not.

So whomever we pick to thrash the disgusting Hillary or the braindead Biden, or whatever scheming envious piece of crap that they throw at us, our choice has to have a good American message but he/she also has to be someone we could know and like.

I think there are a few potential candidates of that description on our team already.

Nixon ran as Mr. Tough Guy who was going to crack down on the antiwar crazies.

As for the last two elections, a lot of people felt bad for John McCain because he was tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, but he had no real message to run on and his age and physical condition worked against him. I wouldn’t say Mitt Romney wasn’t a likable guy, but again no real message that could rally the voters or any fight in him.

That and neither of them had likable wives. That’s probably a factor as well in a candidate’s electability.

The fact that the GOP kept the man whose party lost to the one run by Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is enough for conservatives to bolt the GOP

Denice is looking for ways to lose.

Yep, and that that hasn’t been made a priority suggests that we still don’t have conservatives among the GOPe or at the RNC.
