“I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell whether they were Dummies thread or Freeper threads. “
Thats what happens when liberals invade conservative forums and rent zotted on sight. Cancer spreads.
Conservationism isn’t hard to understand. And most of what passes for it these days simply isn’t conservatism. What some call catty, others call “standing up for ones beliefs’.
I agree with one caveat. Bush is not on our side and must be stopped at all costs.
What? you are not for Trump ?
You must be a Karl loving GOPe hack
There is a balance. We want a choice, not a echo of the liberal lines (due goes to Phillis Schlafly for that wording).
In politics as in war, there are covert operations going on. You do not want to be so nicey nice that you turn over control to the enemy. We do not have to be suckers.
At the same time we do not want to create a situation where we have mutually assured destruction before the general election even begins. The problem is that some aim at the frontrunners. Some aim at the candidates they thing are “taking away votes” from their candidate. All of it is unfair.
The answer: Stick to issues. Fight issues. Attack issues. If you agree with someone, great. Let the voters choose. If you disagree, fight the issue, not the person.
FR Meme:
I used to think that (Fill in The Blank) was a good conservative (organization). I enjoyed what he/ she/they had to say about the world.
But now that he/ she/they has criticized (Fill In The Blank) and I see that he/ she/they does not agree with me on (Fill In The Blank) I realize he/ she/they is/are a scum sucking GOPe RINO Elitist Bastard (group)
This would be great advice if we weren’t dealing with an opposition party completely in the tank with corporate lobbyists and a track record to prove it from last November.
That’s because there are only 2 viable Parties...As I see it the ‘official’ Republican Party represents big money, big business...These people have control of the Republican Party...
There are millions of us who do not fit into that mold but we certainly aren’t Democrats...
The Republican Party is called the ‘big tent Party’ for that reason...I have no ties to the Republican Party other than the politicians I vote for are Republicans (because there’s no other viable Party for them to go to)...
Let me try to explain why the GOPe is finished in our party. Like Bill Kristol announced ,the GOPe will be going third party. What happened was they ran on abolishing obamacare and funded it 4 times. They actively and in concert with the dictator changed the Iran TREATY to a crappy statue so the dictator could veto it. They funded AMNESTY !!!!! by the dictator. They are passing a budget with baby killing in it!!!They are liars!! We are now cramming Trump right down their gagging throats and we are loving every minute of it. I come here just to read the GOPe bashing. I can’t wait until they go pathetic third party. Get OUT!!
Oh any of these folks we have is better than whoever the dems put up. And we do eat our own, but I would not have it any other day. We actually think and have standards - those servile drones on the left just pull what ever lever has a (D) next to it.
“Someone posts a nasty comment about Jeb, or Fiorina, or Rubio or whoever and suddenly there is an explosion of hateful, often personal, attacks “
I guess nobody told you FR is a full contact sport. :-)
You wouldn’t happen to be a Kasich supporter, would you?
Conservatives will find the one thing they don't like about their candidates and will never vote for them, ignoring all the rest.
Liberals will find the one thing they like in a candidate, and will vote for them and ignore all the rest.
Boy, you just do not understand history.
Go read about the Whig Party which elected 4 US Presidents.
They were REPLACED because they became irrelevant, just like the Whig’s successor party, the GOP is behaving.
How can you ever call the GOP a party when its leader in the House goes against his own party by soliciting Democrats to vote in his legislation?
that is not a party, that is just plain idiotic
Nothing against your proposition in general, but have you noticed where the Republican party is going with the likes of Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Grahamnesty, Ryan, et al.? And you wonder why FReepers attack “our own”? They aren’t “our own”, they’re the enemy within. They must be challenged.
You are, of course, correct. Happens every four years.
The RNC/GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Cheap Labor Express.
Unless the people can nominate Cruz or Trump and break the stranglehold of The Cheap Labor Express I don’t care what happens to the GOP. Only a few are on the side of the citizens.
The only salvation for the GOP is if many districts Cantorize their weasel like we did.
The difference is there’s a lot less cursing here than over at the DUmmies.
Primary season is notoriously ugly on FR. People aren’t content with promoting their preferred candidate—they need to demolish the others and fellow FReepers who might support them.
Unfortunately, we seem to be in perpetual primaries.
Just wait till the elections come around and it’ll really heat up, with people vowing to not vote for the nominee and being called names and accused of crimes against humanity for it.
You must not have stopped by the DUmp lately... They are in full meltdown mode, with infighting over Clinton/Sanders
