Pink Floyd "Have a Cigar"
This is a well written, well done article. Thanks for posting it.
As far as I understand, they seem to be saying "we're not as bad as the Democrats," and "We won't bankrupt the country as quickly as the Democrats."
They are in short, Democrats-lite. Why, as many have pointed out here before, would anyone want a "cheap knock-off" (GOPe), when you can get the real thing? (Democrats).
Can someone - McCain, Romney, etc. please tell me why I should vote for you, rather than a Democrat? Can the GOPe even identify the difference between themselves and the Democrats?
They can go to hell.
The GOPe and RINOs always find backstabbing to be the “so much easier” option. Especially when it comes to actually slugging it out with the Alinskyites.
!again!
Team Romney and Rove (supporters of RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE)
won. Like Obama, IT WAS A WIN.
The democrats understand what many people here on FR do not. You do not dilute your support by involving third party involvement. In this case, they did it for the Republicans by getting Robert Sarvis in the race. Remember Ross Perot?
A bit of history from an old timer. It is always much sweeter to elect your own candidate than theirs. There is an old saying in politics, which ironically I picked up in Virginia in the 60’s. “He is a son of a witch, but he’s our son of a witch.” That applies perfectly to the Governor elect in Virginia, but he’s theirs, not ours. Apologies to Witches.
IMO The GOP is much more interested in screwing over Conservative Republicans than in beating Democrats.
Their answer to any subject that comes up is silence.
We see a statement from Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid constantly in the news and no response.
We see the Democrats beating up on something, and no response from Republicans.
Some here are not in favor of a third party because we cannot win with a third party for years-—well folks—I am telling you we are not going to win with a republican party that is fighting itself for control, and has no balls either.
Lee Atwater, where are you now they we need you?
Reince Priebus needs to resign. What dirty dealings, and as always, the republican NEVER stand up against the lies of the left. When are they going to learn?
