Of cource, I agree. Unfortunately, the party is becoming increasing populated by those willing accept anything as long as it comes from a Republican politician instead of a Democrat politician.
Amen! And they use Political Correctness tactics to silence any dissent within the party. Even with Reagan's so called Commandment of "Speak no evil against a fellow Republican" I do not believe that man ever intended it to be twisted as being a means to silence opposition or not speak out against the wrongs of our elected leadership. It is unAmerican not no speak out when our elected are in the wrong on issues.
When it gets to the point where there are cases of Moderate Democrats replacing Republicans and being more conservative then the GOP has major policy problems and some of it's elected need to go.
One example was former Tennessee governor Don Sundquist-R. The self proclaimed liberal DEM who replaced him named Phil Bredesen is beginning his second term and has been far more conservative on many issues than Sundquist. How come he can balance the budget without a state income tax and the Republican could not? He has brought accountability back to the people. So much so there are far less post in this forum attacking him on issues where Don Sundquist-R almost had an everyday thread almost trying to contain his abuses of power. The DEM is also cracking down on illegals specifically forbidding them to work on state funded projects such as road crews. The RINO gave them drivers license. The DEM clamped down on the states HMO's running Medicaid and held them accountable. The threats have stopped as has much of the fraud. The RINO was their shill and let them literally dictate the state budget.
The GOP has two years to get it's act together. People are getting fed up with their excuses and scare tactics every election cycle. The GOP lost last November. They can thank the Liberal RINO's who spilt the party for that loss. The GOP needs to start representing WE THE PEOPLE instead of We the Corporate Boardroom Members and shareholders. That is why we have our current borders problems. The GOP is in the pocket of ones who care less about the sovereignty and self government of the United States. It's all about trade to them and the trade is by no means Free Trade. Free Trade should never come at the expense of our own right to self govern.
