-—You guys will never get it. True conservatives are fed up with being dissed by elitist Republicans, who are happier in the minority anyway. All you care about is maintaining what little power you have left. Some of us have been dissed for the last time.-—
Maybe Tom “the Hammer” Delay can save us. Oh, never mind. He was purged.
Tom Delay wasn’t even a very conservative; he was just very partisan. (That’s a hell of a lot better than not very conservative AND being a RINO, mind you.) He was a solid vote, but he used his power to build party conformity, not to push for new conservative goals. Gingrich had more of an independent streak, (and, unfortunately a couple liberal turns as of late) but was much less afraid of challenging liberal orthodoxy. Delay was even just fine with the Clinton-Bush unfunded mandates requiring federal-funds recipients to adopt illegal aliens’ languages.
