I am bound and determined to not let the GOP-e get away with this again, in 2016.

I’m afraid we’ve already lost. It’s simple, we the real conservatives have a list of fair and decent candidates. The Rockefeller republicans will only have one. We split our vote they win the republican primaries it’s all down hill from there.

We should unify behind Cruz when the time comes and he hasn’t been taken down by the media.

The problem is that Santorum and Huckaphony are going to both run. Add Rick Perry, Scott Walker and a couple of others and we have a problem.

The idea that the GOPe is some incredible mastermind org is so ridiculous. It's all these useless candidates who smile and say they are voting for "Christian" values that snake the vote from a more full conservatism that will give us Jeb.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

I would cheer if we could unify behind Cruz.

Not disagreeing with you. But as you know in order to do that we have to remove Rick Perry, Scott Walker and other good candidates BEFORE the primary. Splitting the vote will only give us another McCain/Bush/bob dole.

BTW - I really like the term Rockefeller republican because it clarifies who the socialists are in the republican party. Socialism for the very wealthy means more money for them taken from the working class.

As a Texan, I can say I would not vote for Rick Perry.

Stop being a defeatist and calling the GOP-Eers "Rockefeller Republicans. Compared to the GOP-Eers, Nelson looks like a CONSERVATIVE !

Whinging, whining, and moaning about oh "THEY" will FORCE so&so on us, no matter what we do, doesn't help and neither is it so! Get out there NOW, talk with family, friends, and yes, even strangers and tell them what your choice REALLY stands for, his accomplishments, and WHY real Conservatism is the ONLY thing that can help this nation ! Donate timed, money, and lots of effort; take people to the polls, make sure that you get others to tell even more people what you've told them and don't EVER give up !

Now you sound like a damned OWSer!

You obviously have NO idea what the term "ROCKEFELLER REPUBLICAN" actually meant when that term was used.

None of that will happen. To start off with, the GOPe candidate, Jeb Bush is not even leading the polls despite massive advantage in name recognition and the media shilling for him. Scott Walker is. And, Bush’s poll numbers keep falling. Secondly and far more important, we have Ted Cruz, the best candidate either of the parties has had for decades. Thirdly, we have Obama, by far the most left wing president in US history. Just as Reagan won by a landslide after the left wing, Iran appeasing Carter presidency, Cruz is going to win part because of Obama’s left wing extremism, appeasement of Iran and rabid anti-Americanism.

As another Texan, I can safely say that I won't vote for Perry, should I get a chance to vote. He darn sure isn't getting any of my money.

Cruz is getting money from me, though.

Cruz is getting my money now. No other candidate can say that.

And you know I won't vote for anyone but a real conservative in the general election. Or primary for that matter.

(sung to the tune of the hymn “Rock of Ages Cleft for Me”)

Rockefeller’s not for me,
He is not for GOP.
He is for the welfare state.
He has had more than one mate.
Rockefeller’s not for me,
He is not for GOP.

Remember the last time we actually ran a CONSERVATIVE candidate??

We only won forty-nine of the fifty-seven states!

This, times 10^1000.

More activism, less tinfoil hat whingeing.

The real enemy is NOT the GOP. The real enemy is the Democrat Party. Don’t let your hatred for the GOPe cause you to loose focus on what’s causing the destruction of this nation.
