That attitude is what’s destroying the Republican Party>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thats fine by me. The sooner it is destroyed the sooner we can organize a conservative party.The Republican party rejected conservatives in 2004, 2008, and again in 2012.
We will start our own party. The Republican party does not have to be destroyed. It destroyed itself.Not only did it alienate Hispanics and minorities. It alienated ALL of its conservatives.
Now the Republic party must die. You are watching its death as we speak. Rove is destroying it as we speak. He does not know how to win elections. He lost in 2008, and he lost in 2012. Rove is a loser.
Rove wasn't involved in the 2008 election, or the 2012 election. Don't try to blame those two disasters on him.
Here in Illinois the GOP Party leader, Pat Brady, actively recruited Republicans to vote for homosexual marriage - which goes against the Illinois GOP Party platform. Numerous calls from Republican County Central Committee Chairmen and Republican voters for him to STEP DOWN fall on deaf ears of Illinois Party leaders. ... Tell those who don't support the party platform to GO. Unfortunately, that includes most of the members of the Illinois Central Committee.
Yes, I know all about that. I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago. We had an incumbent, conservative Republican congressman named Joe Walsh. He lost to a left-wing radical Democrat named Tammy Duckworth, who in 2010 failed against another true conservative, incumbent Republican congressman named Peter Roskam in an adjoining district.
Why the different outcomes? Several factors combined to protect Roskam and defeat Walsh.
First, the one I'm going to keep beating everyone over the head with: Roskam knows how to speak about sensitive issues in a sensitive way. Walsh is fatally infected with what I call the Todd Akin Syndrome: completely insensitive in his remarks about women and minorities. Hostile news media establishment operatives, who always work overtime to get Democrats elected, seized everything he ever said that was insensitive and splattered it all over the front page.
Second, the Democratic machine in Chicago knows how to turn a loser like Duckworth into a winner. They hired her, first in Springfield and then in Washington, as a mid-level bureaucrat in veterans' affairs to polish her resume. After Roskam ripped her up for running as a non-resident in his congressional district, they used redistricting to custom design the neighboring congressional district around her residence -- a district she could win.
Third, the left-wing news media establishment didn't get behind Democratic candidates in 2010 to the same shameless degree that they did in 2008 and 2012. I don't know what happened, but they just weren't as blatantly partisan for the Democrats in 2010. That's my perception anyway. And we can't hope that it will ever happen again.
