I don’t need your history lessons or reminders on ANYTHING, as I’ve likely been at this as long as you.
You and I simply disagree on tactics.
Neither kept Obama out of office.
I’m grass roots Tea Party, and have listed on this thread the work I’ve done to clean up the GOP here in Colorado.
As previously noted, I want Ted Cruz for 2016.
I’d like to know who you think is better?
If you have been at this as long as I have, then starting in the 1960s (for my generation) actual conservatives have been fighting the special interests and the monied powers constantly within the GOP. Goldwater (as an abortion and perversion cheerleader he was not a very good man) was nominated and Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney, William Scranton, and the rest of the uberwealthy marching band collectively lost what passed for their minds.
So they compromised Nixon, got rid of the formerly liberal Agnew who had turned conservative, saw to it that Nixon was replaced by Feckless Ford. Reagan, having narrowly lost to Ford in 1976, was nominated and then elected by landslide in 1980 and 1984. Then a more anonymous gang of the usual suspects came back and seized the reins under Bush the Elder an have been indulging their delusions ever since.
You are getting the history since, voting for the Mittwit as you did, you obviously fail to understand it.
Your tactic is to vote for any POS no matter how radical so long as he/she has an R after the name on the ballot. I think that is the definition of party hack. I used to be one, however conservative. OTOH, my resume is primarily conservative. So I guess we do disagree on tactics if that is what you think you have in reflexively voting Republican no matter how bad the nominee. If they are leftists in GOP drag, I won't encourage them.
So you told off a GOP Congresswoman and she retired. Who? Why did you tell her off? Does it matter? Does the new Congresscritter vote to depose Boehner, McCarthy, Scalise and Cantor before them? If not, why not?
My goal was first of all to keep Romney out of office and prevent a four year Kumbaya fest between the Demonrat leftists and the GOP-E monarchist zombies. I think that was successful. I don't remember his inauguration or the Kumbaya fest. Do you?
