It is time to unleash hell on the National Republican party establishment. We need to "blacklist" any Republican who speaks out against Governor Palin is an unfair way. We can put their name on a "wall of shame". and actively seek to defeat them in GOP primaries or undermine them in any way possible.
It is time to get nasty. These are the kind of tactics that got President Obama the nomination and ultimately the Presidency in 2008. It it time we take notes and play the same game.
And we need to play their game in a general election. We need to dig up trash on the Democrats and go after them as they have us.
We have so many resources at our finger tips. It is time to use them in a more effective way.
It will.
We are not hitching a ride on the train anymore. We are taking over the train. and now they will have to hitch a ride with us.
We are taking control of our party.
The reason why we fracture are those Republicans who attack Conservatives and don’t listen to Reagan’s 11th Commandment:
“Never speak ill of another Republican.”
I see nothing wrong with calling those Republicans out that attack Palin’s family or character, using liberal talking points.
I agree
Is Ma Palin running for the GOP nomination in 2012?..... If so she may need the help of some of those supporters whom you may choose to blacklist. Seems kinda early in the game to start all the infighting amongst the party.
Unity comes about not through subtraction, but through addition, through mutual respect within the party even when people disagree on some points. That’s the way Reagan unified the party.
I don’t see a Reagan on the horizon, unfortunately. Time will tell if Palin has those same skills.
You seem to lack understanding of the meaning of freedom of speech. No one is calling for imprisonment by the gov’t for people because of their words. You don’t get freedom from consequences of your speech, nor do you get freedom from being offended by the speech of others, despite what many seem to think.
There’s nothing wrong with working to throw people out of office because you don’t agree with their ideas (such as those who dislike Palin because they want to suck up to the MSM). Throwing people out of office because you disagree with their ideas and actions is what a Republic is all about. Crying “suppression of freedom of speech!” over that is absurd.
I think it should take the form of a decision by a hockey player being blind-sided along the boards to take the number of the opposing player after he gets up and eventually effect payback at a later time.
I already “blacklisted” the Republican Party (switched to “unaffiliated”), because of Republican feminism, disrespect for elders, big government that supports feminism, compromises with Democrats, lack of will to prosecute illegal drug offenders and pimps, globalism and lack of conservatism in general, including lack of good manners.

Heh. :)
Seems to me that it would be a lot wiser to drive the liberals out of the party. The rest will take care of itself without naming Palin as a reason.
What do you mean “this thread”. EVERY thread on FR is like this!
That is one thing that I think Glen Beck has right on his 9-12 project. I don’t recall what they are, but it is based on broad PRINCIPLES that most conservatives, libertarians and many democrats can embrace. Of course one of the top principles is a belief in a “higher power” or whatever he calls it so.....
We’ll never all agree on all things. Liberal’s have an easier time with that because they are brainwashed in so many ways. Conservatives are much more independent. So, we will all have to give and take.
An attorney friend was talking about some resolution of some corporate law thing that he had been working on for a long time. After months of talks, court battles, etc. he said it was resolved and both parties came away with something. But he said something like “Ya know, after all of the battles, all of the work, it’s good to have it done with an acceptable outcome for everyone. The trouble is that with a compromise, it seems like such a, .... well,... a compromise.”
What does “RINOs have 1st Amendment rights too” have to do with the price of eggs? See my previous post.
If we take back our party, they will have no choice but to ride a long.
The people who attack Palin are not the people we will look to for leadership
—Blacklist? Great idea. Freedom of speech is so over-rated.—
Exactly. An idiot tactic like this, would, to paraphrase Grover Norquist, shrink the GOP to a size where it could be drowned in a bathtub.
you can’t compromise with a Palin hater. they are scum.
—“pretentious stupid white trash” —
That is entirely uncalled for, but, the family life of the Alaskan first family is, sadly, rather tawdry.
Newt Gingrich has been running his trap lately. I thought he would have more intelligence to succumb to the leftist media
The policy should always be to promote YOUR candidate, not to crush his opponent (except the RAT, that should go without saying).
Seems to me that it would be a lot wiser to drive the liberals out of the party. The rest will take care of itself without naming Palin as a reason.
Keyboard political stragetist are fun to watch. Even some that promote the 3rd parties seem to forget what it takes to win on the national level and even at the state level. After all winning is necessary if one is to make changes.
How’s you mom doing on the road these days? Has the economic slow down been that noticeable to her?
