Cruz/Walker. That’s how to keep Bush out of it. Only Texans can raise the kind of money and bring the kind of muscle to keep Bush and his GOPe out of the running.

‘I think if you look back, despite the far right’s complaints, it is the centrist that wins the nomination,’

And loses the election.

“So conservatives need a strong plan.”

Simple: Don’t vote for the GOP.

I won’t be giving a single dollar or vote to ANY GOP candidate, State, local, or federal. Doing so only empowers the eGOP. My vote will never go to a liberal party.

Jeb, if you’re afraid of the people in your own party, either you’ve got the wrong policies or the wrong party. Make your choice and we will either consider voting for you ( if you start championing some covservative policies) - or at least we will respect you a lot more (for being honest if you want to stay liberal — and honest enough at least to join the D party) . Leftist policies in a conservative party just aren’t the ticket.

Too many times Conservatives have been had by lying, backstabbing RINOs. They have got to take the message in this song to the wussy RINOs.

First: Don’t start out teaming up with McCain and asking how to get around conservatives.

Yeah, the “maverick” McCain (who loved that title) was called that by the libtard media because he became a GOP who sided with Dems...

That is the SOLE SOURCE of his “maverick” status

If this turd or Romney returns to lose again in 2016, somebody like Palin or Cruz needs to step out as an independent candidate. There really need to be an end to the corporatist parties slugging it out every four years, one guy flooring the accelerator, and the other guy occasionally tapping the brake.

I think this is a good time to ask: What can we, as grass-roots conservatives, do to CLOSE THE FREAKIN’ PRIMARIES???? Seriously. (And maybe I need to start a thread on this because it’s an important issue.) As long as Independents and, let’s face it, Democrats are voting in our primaries, we’re going to get more of this “centrist” cr*p. (Oh, and btw McCain, the centrist may take the primaries but he obviously can’t win the election!!! So what’s the point?)

So. Are there organizations that are working to close the primaries? Anyone know? Thanks!

John Ellis Boosh would get lots of votes in the primaries—from Democrats, as in ‘08 & ‘12.
But he would come up short in the one that really matters, the general election. As in ‘08 & ‘12.
2016 is the GOP’s to win. Or lose, with JEB. Don’t make us get a restraining order!
