My conservative friends and I know what we are about. We may not agree 100% on every issue, but we are in sync on conservative values and we have a common message. With that said, please tell us the unified message of the Republican elite going into the midterm elections other than "vote for us because we are not Obama." I ask because six years into the Obama banana republic, I still have no idea what the republican elite stand for other than the status quo of lifetime tenure for inside-the-beltway representatives and senators and crony capitalism for the elite. We no longer hear about repealing Obamacare and even when we did, the republican elite never laid out an alternative plan beyond the red meat talking points. The republican elite haven't spoken about about fiscal integrity since Boehner and McConnell capitulated to Obama and Reid last year, and even when they they did, they have stuck to vague, meaningless talking points. Although the Republican elite are trying to shove amnesty down our throats in the name of immigration reform, I have no idea what their real plan is other than to make nice with Obama, Reid, and Pelosi. And what is the unitary idea from the republican elite for dealing with ISIS and the Muslim problem?
As imperfect as conservatives may be, I know where we stand and we do have a unified message on many of the important issues. I can't say the same about the republican elite.
Well said and I think we agree on many points. Conservatives stand for the rule of constitutional law. Bush the First stated the elitist philosophy when he said the “constitution is whatever the Supreme Court says it is”. That is not the rule of law but of elitists who have proven time and again that the language of the constitution is nothing but a word game to them, to be twisted to say whatever they want it to say. Politicians have been more than willing to accept power illegally to them by the courts. They pass whatever laws they want and then put the burden on us to challenge them.
First and foremost, conservatives are not elitists and oppose rule by elitists, regardless of what party label they wear.
Yes, I know you do. That's what my post was about.

They don't have any message. They are craven, sniveling cowards who are of no use in saving the republic.
My issue is that YOUR friends, MY friends, and the friends of that conservative behind the tree over there have to put up with each other, which is conceptually good but which often doesn't survive first contact.
Excellent post!
