Then you have missed Cruz’s response on compromise. When the other side offers you a loaf you take it, however you do not compromise on core principles. You know like Life, Freedom, Privacy under the fourth amendment, due process, and there are others

Sounds like a headline ISIS would write. Apostasies and all.

Congrats.

Decades of Republican beliefs—Snort!

DC Republicans believe what their K Street handlers tell them to believe—Accordingly, DC Republican beliefs change by the day or, in some cases, the hour.

And they still don’t get why We the People are so ticked.

"...only the purity of the candidates political dogma matters to them"

Here's the deal. While supporters of "purity" bash everyone else, the simple fact is that the politicians running for office always spout "conservatism" and do anything 'but' once in office. So we are all jaded of the term.

Pretty funny to have the Post tell us what constitutes an apostasy

Who gives a rip? Bring back the Whigs!

Whig Party Platform of 1952

First: The Government of the United States is of a limited character, and it is confined to the exercise of powers expressly granted by the Constitution, and such as may be necessary and proper for carrying the granted powers into full execution, and that all powers not granted or necessarily implied are expressly reserved to the States respectively and to the people.

Second: The State Governments should be held secure in their reserved rights, and the General Government sustained on its constitutional powers, and that the Union should be revered and watched over as the palladium of our liberties.

Third: That while struggling freedom everywhere enlists the warrnest syrnpathy of the Whig party, we still adhere to the doctrines of the Father of his Country, as announced in his Farewell Address, of keeping ourselves free from all entangling alliances with foreign countries, and of never quitting our own to stand upon foreign ground, that our mission as a republic is not to propagate our opinions, or impose on other countries our for n of government by artifice or force; but to teach, by example, and show by our success, moderation and justice, the blessings of self-government, and the advantages of free institutions.

Fourth: That, as the people make and control the Government, they should obey its constitution, laws and treaties, as they would retain their self-respect, and the respect which they claim and will enforce from foreign powers.

Fifth: Revenue sufficient for the expenses of an economical administration of the Government in time of peace ought to be derived from a duty on imports, and not from direct taxation; and in laying such duties, sound policy requires a just discrimination, whereby suitable encouragement may be afforded to American industry, equally to all classes, and to all parts of the country.

Sixth: The Constitution vests in Congress the power to open and repair harbors, and remove obstructions from navigable rivers, whenever such improvements are necessary for the common defence, and for the protection and facility of commerce with foreign nations, or among the States, said improvements being, in every instance, national and general in their character.

Seventh: The Federal and State Governments are parts of one system, alike necessary for the common prosperity, peace and security, and ought to be regarded alike with a eordial, habitual and immovable attachment. Respect for the authority of each and acquiescence in the just constitutional measures of each, are duties required by the plainest considerations of national, state, and individual welfare.

Isn’t the word “apostate” used by ISIS to describe those who are to be killed first?

As usual, the GOPe says one thing, does another. They preach conservative ideology, and the give Obama anything, and everything he wants.

The mail values of the GOPe is to secure their pay checks, and power. Majority party, or not, their mo eye still flows. Reelection is their primary goal. Being exposed by Trump is their biggest fear.

Trump is for unravaveling the mess the RINOs have put us in. It isn’t Trump who is causing distrust in government...the government has done a great job of that since long before Donald Trump came on the scene. Pulling back the curtain to see who is pulling the levers is all Trump has done.

Distrust the government? You bet’cha!! There’s a whole list of players who caused that distrust, democrat and republican alike.

Well, I myself have been increasingly at odds with Republican “beliefs” the past two to three decades, as they’ve ditched all the things that once drew me to them as a Party. Like dumping their pro-small business agendas in favor of globalism and cronyism. Or ignoring their longstanding law-and-order platforms to allow open-borders for cheap labor for their donor bigwigs. And then finally, dumping the entire issue of cultural values and cozying up to the degeneracy of the Left.

There’s absolutely no reason left for me to support the GOP. They’ve dispensed with every single reason I ever supported them in the first place. Even worse is the state of “conservatism,” when I see so-called conservative pundits on television not only advocating for amnesty, dope, and faggot-marriage, but ALL three.

Well, if that’s the case, to hell with the GOP, and to hell with conservatism. I don’t like, I don’t trust, I don’t support anybody at this point. And I’m perfectly fine if Trump comes along and totally re-orders the whole works, and causes massive consternation and carnage.

Sometimes one just has to ad lib. In this classic rendition of Scarlet Begonias/Fire on the Mountain, Jerry does just that:

Reviewer: snashforce - favoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - December 23, 2009 Subject: Agree...Hot Fire on the Mtn.

Before the final ascent in Fire, Jerry sings

"Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn".

That's one of my favorite moments.

I dedicate it to all the professional conservatives trying to subvert the will of the voters in the Republican primaries.

IMHO! The idea that the GOP is conservative is a myth. There isn’t a penny’s worth of difference between the GOP and Democrats. Otherwise the question is begged as to why there is no opposition and all these detrimental things have been passed in Congress.

Trump at odds with decades of things Republican claimed to believe but never actually did.

If you were hoping this would be a slam against Trump, you sorely missed your mark.

We are proud that he is burying the disaster known as Bush conservatism, and putting the supporters of that failed movement into the same hole.

It’s time to get back to being conservatives over being globalists. The neocon movement is dead. And we are shoveling the dirt on that grave right now.

Perhaps it’s time that a bunch of Republican Establishment dogmas were trashed.

Starting with the idea that the US is under the obligation to spread “democracy” to Third World Muslim states. At least Qaddafi kept a lid on the jihadis in his back yard.
