Why put up with people who spend 95% of their time attacking Republicans.
You have no ability, (yet), to control 'acceptance', yet individuals have put up with whomever they choose.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.

"Yep, I wanna win! I want the x-tremes put in their place! I want the intolerant and bigoted to know their bile and falsehood and fear and empty threats are now impotent, their day is over. Republicans will not be identified as racist, intolerant brown-shirted totalitarians. We will capture the great middle ground. The middle ground which we lost due to the x-treme's gross intolerance causing the flight! Time for them to regroup. What are you going to do?"
Yep, I like that. Sound good. I'm pretty satified you identify with those I disclaimed.
Shout it from the rooftops, brother!
The problem arose after conservatives had held their noses and saved Pete Wilson's sorry behind, twice. In both cases, Wilson did everything he could to kill the chances of conservatives in the lower ranks. Then the moderate party bigwigs refused to back conservative nominee Bill Simon; indeed, they sabotaged his campaign.
With reciprocity like that, the cohesion you crave is dead. It's not the fault of conservatives.
Fair enough--- but that's not what's happening here, since re-electing Arnold sets up Tom McClintock to be governor after him.
Liberal RINO Governors almost in every instance destroy the chances of a Conservative Republican to succeed them. McClintock has a better chance of being elected Governor if the Marxist wackjob Angelides wins in November.
Yeah, well, your vaudvillian excessive melodrama is well, just absurd!!! Reminds me of the guy that said "the empty boxcar rattles the loudest!"
I wish we had a FR Hall of Fame for classic comments. That one would certainly get my vote!!!
I'll defer to you about hobo knowledge.
Another gold plated observation of historical FACT!!!
At some future date, it might be necessary to create a national Conservative Party. Especially if the centrists keep inflitrating the GOP,undermining its conservative agenda. Only time will tell.
Brother! Talk about a low blow, cheap shot, over the top and irrational comment! Wow!!! At long last... have you no shame???
Wrong. First off, Ford was more a moderate Republican, not a liberal like Schwarzenegger and Giuliani. In 1976 conservatism was just beginning to become a major force in American politics. Reagan was instrumental in advancing a conservative agenda for the GOP and that carried him to landslide victories. Arnold is a liberal Republican and has little in common with Reagan. Reagan championed conservatism at every opportunity. Arnold pushes a liberal agenda.
So you're saying you think President Reagan would have supported Angelides?
You guys are hoisting yourselves on your own petards with screwy comments like that!!!
I didn't say that at all. Those are words and a pretty stupid remark I might add.
Huh?
I didn't put words in your mouth--- I asked a question. Either you're for Arnold in this race or you're for Angelides, right? Anything that affects the race either helps one or the other win. So if you're not for Arnold, you're for Angelides. But I didn't say YOU were for Angelides-- I asked if you thought President Reagan would have supported Angelides i.e. not supported Arnold.
While some folks exhibit more passion in their opposition to liberalism, then they show in advancing the conservative agenda. Some folks follow the Reagan playbook and are passionate in support of conservative politics and policy. For those of us who thought Reagan was right in that regard, advancing conservatism is first and foremost. The furthest thing from our minds is supporting a liberal.
You people who seem to have such a strong passion for defending liberal Republicans like Arnold Schwarzenegger, exhibit a position that neither opposes liberalism, nor advances conservatism. Frankly, your rhetoric sounds like more of the same wishy-washy politics that embrace the status quo of big government liberalism.
