I am noticing an increasing number of anti Palin comments among Republicans.
I think this is a good time to filter the trash out of our party. We Republicans tend to tip toe through the tulips. But if we want to get our party back, we need to do it now. As much as I dislike Obama. and many of us mocked his "get in their faces quote". I want to ask you.
How did we dominate the healthcare debate in August ? We stood up and got in their faces. It worked. You can do this without being violent, without using curse words. Just stand up.
Some of you remember the days of Woody Hayes at Ohio State and Bo Schembechler at Michigan.
We can't be afraid to learn and pay attention to how Obama did it. Because Obama was great at getting control of his party and winning. Unfourtunately, he has no idea how to govern. The great thing about Reagan conservatism is, 75% of it is just making the country believe in itself again. We forgot how to govern in the early 2000s. That is how we lost, but we learn from history.
A lot of people said Obama could never be President for various reasons. The same attitude is used against Palin.
Everybody should read Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky. We can use their own tactics to destroy them. Right now, I think we need to use these tactics against anti Palin Republicans. Get in their face. Ridicule them. Freeze them. Personalize them. Polarize them. We need to play it like they are so far out of the mainstream. Perception is reality. Our reality is that they are so luke warm and we are spitting them out. Their reality needs to be cold and isolated.
It is not just about Palin. She is one person. But she is a good lithmis test to see who is really a conservative and who is not.
A lot of Palin hating Republicans don't want a woman to be President. Is that reality ? I don't know. But lets make it reality. Lets live it, breath it, accept it as fact. And then it becomes reality in it's self. They are frozen out of the party and isolated.
Lets do it.
Does that mean we have to have a RINO candidate ?
will I ever see a conservative President in my lifetime ?
One thing is for sure, the majority of the Romney and Rudy supporters have been purged from FR.
STOP THINKING!!! It's not allowed here. I can't believe I'm actually reading this myopic drivel.
Answer my question.
How do we get a conservative President if RINOs control the party ?
the myopic drivel I see in this thread is from you
No, we don't.
It's the lukewarm brands of pseudo-conservatism ("We'll give you almost as much free stuff as they will!") that fail.
Conservatisms wins every time it's tried. 1994 proved that. Then the GOP lost its way, as usual.
1980 proved that too
Too much coffee?
1980 proved it most of all. Thanks for correcting me.
And God bless Ronald Reagan.
We saw the change in tactic in NY-23 and it wasn't pretty. One Hoffman sore-loser stated afterward that the 5,000+ who voted for Scozzafava (11yrs in the NY assembly, 90+% voted with the other Rs) should never be allowed to vote again. You people don't understand how this system of government works, what America is about, the principles on which we are founded and governed. There is always going to be someone or something you don't like.
The important thing now is to unite in fighting the rolling tide of socialism of the Democrats in power, but instead you want to attack potential allies. Not bright.
No.
Just mad as hell about what is happening to our country.
Do you have a rational plan to win an election after you’ve kicked out everyone you don’t like?
Palin haters are not allies. They deserve to be shunned. and we should take our wrath out on them in 2011 and Obama in 2012.
Granted some of these really left-wing wacko Republicans like Snowe and Collins are pains in the butts but I'll still take them over another RAT--any day.
I have no power to kick anybody out.
My plan is to give zero money to the RNC and all the money I used to give to the RNC to Sarah Palin.
And thereby create a permanent Democrat majority, which is obviously your goal.
me too.
It is either our party or no party at all.
I won’t because they damage what conservatism is. They sell out principles for political expediency. Sorry, I won’t do it. And I want to vote for someone who stands by their convictions, not rolls with the punches.
I can honestly say this is one of the dumbest threads I’ve ever seen on FR. I thought Republicans were smarter than this.
It's those damn RINOs again. Aided and abetted by the MSM. We conservatives are faultless.
