How were they supposed to stop it? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

All Republicans were locked out of the write up conferences for the Health Care bill. It could have been stopped DEAD on procedural grounds.

Obviously we need to do the same as the commies did at the 68 Dhimmicrat convention.
That caused the eventual change to the Dhimmicrat party that make them the Marxist buttwads they are today.
In order to counter this national threat, we need to have a major presence at the RNC 2016 convention and steer this turkey in the RIGHT direction.

I don’t think they have any idea of how angry people outside of DC are.

If so, the GOP slits its own throat.

That has been going on for a dozen years already. What's new?

Hmmm, now that you mention it, the voters do seem to be a factor in all of this, possibly even an important one. Are you saying that if conservatives could persuade more people to see things our way, we might be able to get more of our guys elected and into positions of leadership? That the key to avoiding lesser-evil type choices between RINOs and RATs is to get more voters on our side?

I must admit it’s an interesting thought.

I am shocked and surprised, that in spite of my mediocre English, you actually grasped what I was trying to say!

So, yes! We need candidates who can connect with voters.
No matter how pure conservative a candidate is, if he/she can not persuade the voters from many spectrum’s, all we have is a lost election, and as a result zero power to move ANY AGENDA. No candidate can depend only on conservatives to win. The Gipper won big because he pulled in many Rats.

Hoffmann in NY-23 was a good example. So were McCain and Romney who could not match wits with the street wise community organizer from Chicago.

Gotta disagree with you. it’s not the GOP shooting itself in the ass, it’s the American people who keep electing RINOs that are shooting ALL of us in the ass.

In our system who gets the most votes wins elections and gets the power. Obviously there are not enough candidates you like who can win majority of votes. If the RINO’s are winning, they must have a message the voters like.

It’s not war, it means F#$k You!

And, as an extra added bonus, if you call within the next few minutes, you will receive an utter failure of turn out at the next election in November...Minus shipping and handling...

Thanks, from your GOPe’s...

McConnell won in KY. Kingston and Perdue beat out conservatives Broun and Gingrey in Georgia primary.

During previous election cycles, McCain won in AZ.
Mark Kirk won in Illinois.

partially agree with you, but it’s not so much their message as it is their face.

I’ve actually heard people say “well, they’ve been there this long..” OR “Well I knew his / her Daddy, and he was a good ol boy so his kids okay by me”

It’s not so much the message as it is the stupids...

When you get as old as me you may also reach the same conclusion as me, that politics is not black and white. There are a lot of shades of gray.

I also have concluded that conservative principles are superior to liberal agenda. However liberal agenda are much easier to sell to the masses. Soak the rich, soak the big corporations, income disparity, clean air, minimum wage, are all liberal mantra’s. It is very difficult to convince the masses the liberal agenda will actually reduce prosperity and have less of everything, especially wages.

So..........I have learned to accept candidates who are significantly more consrvative than the competing democrat. They dot have to agree with me on every issue.

I am getting tired of posters who insist on nominating only the most conservative candidates. I have a long list of very conservative candidates who have lost elections. Likewise RINO’s have also lost elections. In the end the nominees are decided by voters, GOPe is not always the final decider, even 50 times campaign cash does not guarantee nomination as Cantor found out.

“So..........I have learned to accept candidates who are significantly more consrvative than the competing democrat. They dot have to agree with me on every issue.”

So your willing to compromise, to reach across the isle so
to speak. Just what are you willing to give up? A little freedom here, for a little freedom there?

Nice try, and I mean it in the best possible way.

Voting Rat or not voting is at best insane, or moronic, take your pick. You have destroyed that lack of logic idea with your factual comments. I just love the group on here that whines and moans about the state of the state, who just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the Republican candidate in the last election.

Frankly Scarlett I hope you are wrong on the length of time we will be paying for their stupidity, but I’m sure you’ve done the math.

PS, I read the first fifty and then the last 37 comments but wasn’t getting anywhere with this thread until I started reading number fifty to one hundred. I knew there had to be at least one individual telling it like it should be told.

Yes because the alternative is much worse.
We simply can not let any democrat to appoint all future SCOTUS.
