Perfectionist?
Here's my list of requirements for federal-level government position:
And if your next comment is to be, “so I have to agree with everything McConnell and boner say?!” Just save it. That is not what this article or this thread is about. It’s not about getting along with political enemies.
I'm sorry, but the list of people in the Republican party who aren't my political enemy [off the top of my head] is pretty short:
It’s about putting our main goal in concrete, tattooing it in our minds, and working toward it in 500 small ways, from all directions, strategizing and winning.
And what's wrong with pointing out that the Republican party, as-a-party, is all talk and no action?
They are not for Freedom, they are not for Liberty, they are not for Justice — they are, by their actions and inactions for all power in the hands of the state, to the degree that a baker or photographer can be enslaved to support with their trade things that they find morally and religiously objectionable, they are for the indefinite detainment
of "terrorists", they are for the spying on millions of people who have not even reached a point of reasonable suspicion.
That is the party that you are trying to insinuate is not my political enemy.
Perfection?
FR is far from perfect, but we are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-constitutionally limited government, pro-defense, pro-America!
And we do not surrender to chicken livered RINOS!!
Never give-in, never give-up, never surrender!!
We don’t retreat, we reload!!
We are the resistance.
The GOPe RINOS can KMA!!
Go, Ted, GO!!
Bunch o’ folk on this thread seem to be just fine with the “winning” strategy of Karl Rove and Willard Romney...
Not what we need.
You are avoiding addressing the REAL choice: A Republican (ANY Republican) vs. a Democrat with a communist, country-destroying ideology.
You defeat the Republican, you end up with the Democrat. PERIOD.
This is not some wishing well, it’s REALITY.
You are still missing the forest for the trees. I agree with you; there isn’t anyone other than Cruz getting close to what I believe are true conservative goals or free republic goals.
You speak the truth about the Republican Party and the representatives we are dealing with.
Now we need to do something about it. The way you set it up with your list in the previous, whatever could we do but wring our hands. We must see the world as it is, and say, today, how can we against all odds get a little closer to our goals? Not compromise, SUCCESSFULLY MOVE ACTUALLY CLOSER.
Yesterday we complained, and today we are in the same place. What can we do today that will help us be closer tomorrow?
