We should just cut to the chase and declare all conservative issues to be losing issues and anoint Hillary Clinton president.
Common Core is just one more illustration of the fact that most elected Republicans aren’t really conservatives.
I vote in Republican primaries for now, but write-in when there is no conservative for vote for.
Watch the results from the UK tonight. See how people have given up on the major party that pretends to be conservative and exercised another option.
Here in GA, we have one “GOP”er for it and one against it. I do, however, hope the anti common crap runoff candidate will prevail.
“By the same token, there is mounting evidence that sitting Republicans who support Common Core will continue to be supported by their conservative base”
Nathan Deal is an ethically challenged RINO who has embraced every POS idea that has come down the pike in GA for the past 4 years. Sadly his challenger David Pennington who is a good guy and got our vote in the primary did not have the warchest to put on an effective campaign. Now we will likely have to vote for Deal in the general election to keep Jason Carter out.
Damn!
Boy am I glad that the founders of this great country were not as cowardly as this editorial writer.
The brave American men of the Revolutionary War faced off against the most powerful country on earth for the sake of principles.
Now, the GOP, the party that is supposed to be principled, only looks at battles to be fought based on how popular the issue is and can the battle be won.
Cowards!
No need to vote. Judges are unelected, and they undo laws at their whim. And federal agencies make all the rules with no accountability.
I thought the ones defeated in Indiana was because they flipped their support of the Marriage Amendment
The opposition to common core should be framed as a states rights issue. Getting out there and saying “we can do a better job than the federal government can in deciding what our children are taught” would be powerful and a positive message.
Yes, all conservatives should just “SHUT UP” about all cultural issues, and just let government grow bigger and bigger and take more and more of our freedom away, until we can’t legally worship God anymore, and have no guns to fight back.
Michael Petrilli is the in-house leftist of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation.
In my state, officials are actually afraid that “parents will take matters into their own hands.”
