How about the limited government and fiscal conservatives?
Can’t we all just get along?
It’s not simply “social conservatives”, it’s real GRASSROOTS conservatives. We in the grassroots believe in ALL aspects of conservatism: pro-life, pro-family, small-government, individual liberty, etc.
Personally, I want all the David Frum’s, the Michael Gerson’s, David Brooks’s, and the Colin Powell’s of the world out of the party. I’ll take their votes and their support, but I don’t want them anywhere near the leadership or influencing the leadership.
Not so fast.. How did conservatives LOOSE control of the conservative party?.. Who are the malefactors?.. We need to name some names... Else the problems will remain.. Because the problems are PEOPLE..
Good article.... a little light at the end of this RINO tunnel.
I wish the fiscal conservatives would win instead
excuse me, but what the *#$( kind of story is this a week before a Presidential election????
What kind of ‘fighting’ is anybody doing within the party right now?? This is utter nonsense.
With a guy about to be annointed who is becoming more and more clearly a Marxist, the LA Times is suddenly concerned about ‘social conservatives’???? You’ve got to be kidding me.
Social Conservative. Rhymes with Compassionate Conservative. Synonymous with George W. Bush.
No thanks.
Once this election is over, we need to start planning how to take back our country.
Over the past several years we’ve watched people trying to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and In God We Trust off our money.
We’ve watched retailers stop saying Merry Christmas, Nativity scenes banned from public display, educators take words out of books and teachers trying to indoctrinate our kids.
Bit by bit, they’re taking away our religion, our freedoms, our guns, our constitution and our youth.
We need to organize and put a stop to it or we’ll see this years election scenario repeated again in four years.
They are NOT going to stop and we need to fight back and fight hard.
Social conservatives? What a load of crap.
Either someone is a conservative or they’re not.
Conservatism is based on PRINCIPLES, not this or that pet issue.
That’s part of the PROBLEM with the GOP. We’ve looked at all kinds of ISSUES as our cause(s) instead of underlying principles.
-end rant
The Republican Party will be over if this guy is the next chairman. He has ruined the Party here in Florida.
He absolutely hates anything conservative, and does his best to hamper conservative candidates running for office here in Florida.
Allen West asked for his help, and the answer was a loud and clear: NO!
Once West got support from Steele, Thompson, and Hunter he finally came around and donated $500 to West's campaign..... two weeks before the election.
When the biggest donors in Florida asked Greer why he wasn't supporting West his answer was: "You people don't see the big picture. I'm working on the big picture and West isn't in it."
We socons can’t even control this social conservative website.
Rock on Sir Rush.
Some conservatives argue privately that an Obama victory would clear out strategists and policy thinkers from the Bush era and the McCain campaign, leaving the party in a better position to rebuild itself as a contrast to the Democrats, who would have control of Congress as well as the White House.
Glad to see some real planning is going on behind the scenes in the rank and file to start eradicating the cancerous rot, aka RINO's, that has been eating away at the Republican party since Reagan left the Presidency. I learned as a child growing up in the southwest that a fish always starts to rot from the head down. Cut off the rotten head and the rot stops. Hopefully there is enough of Reagan's brand of conservatism inheritance left to salvage and start to rebuild on for our future.
Steele is fairly conservative but this crap has to end.
