As soon as the RPV and others agree to sign loyalty oaths to the People, the Constitution, and to Conservative principles.....
“Not no but hell no to loyalty oaths.”
Reminds me of political parties in countries with dictatorships during the thirties in Europe.
Every word of it true.
And how many of those Republicans who have high principles do you think are currently in Washington D.C. right now? Is it 5% of the Republicans? 10%? 15%?
I don’t know, but I do know it’s not anywhere close to the majority. Or if it is, they sure as heck don’t show it and sure as heck don’t fight for those principles.
Face it, the guys you call the “RINOS”, at the national level control the power, messaging, and brand of the Republican party today.
With that said, I could easily make a case that the biggest “RINO” of all is actually Ted Cruz, because he’s anything but what the RNC presents as what a Republican today is supposed to be. You can also probably put Mike Lee, Jim Bridenstine, Mark Meadows, Louie Gohmert, maybe Steve King into that group. And probably some others that I don’t pay as much attention to or don’t get the attention of those others.
So yeah, while I’m not a Trump supporter, I don’t so much care whether he’s a “true Republican” or not. Not what the RNC is trying to pass off as what a true Republican is supposed to be anyway.
Now a true conservative or a true constitutionalist is a different matter altogether. Those guys we need.
TEApublicans, conservative caucus...more in the House, very few in the Senate.
the guys you call the “RINOS”, at the national level control the power, messaging, and brand of the Republican party today.
First of all, they're called RINOs because they're actually socialists, they "control the power" by letting the RATs completely run the show, they have very little messaging other than their actions. But they do not control the brand...they ignore it. The platforms are created by the grassroots.
Any Senator represents a communist city, and if he wants to get reelected, he has to play the game. Some House districts may not have any cities in them, if so, those districts probably have conservative Congressmen.
what the RNC presents as what a Republican today is supposed to be.
And what pray tell is that?
They ignore the platforms. They define what a Republican is supposed to be.
The platforms define what a Republican is supposed to be.
You see anything terribly wrong with these?
That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice.
That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society.
That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government.
That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations.
That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense.
That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
