KEN BLACKWELL
Best thread I’ve seen on FR this am. Thank you.
I think the republican party needs to ask the federal government for a bailout.
If I post a vanity with my thoughts & ideas for the future does that count?
I’m not quite there, yet. I want to lick my wounds and relax for a little while. I’m mentally exhausted over all of this.
I’m laying the groundwork to keep even MORE tax dollars out of the hands of those stinkers in Washington. The election of Obama has inspired me beyond measure in that area, believe me! I knew before that it was me against the world. Now I know that there at 7-10 MILLION additional boneheads our there working against me, too! I was good at it before; I’m going to be excellent at it, now. :)
Then, I’ll gird my loins and pick up my sword again, once I know, to the penny, that my family is financially safe and sound and we’re not going to lose everything to even MORE confiscatory practices via Obama and the Congress-Rats & -RINOs.
Bump that.
My question is:
What are Freepers doing now to change the nominating process in their states so that Moderates, Independetns, and Democrats aren’t choosing the GOP nominee for 2012?
What can be done to remove the first primaries from being held in Iowa and New England? Both are liberal areas with either a fraud-ridden caucus process (obama openly imported supporters,,, do we doubt they did it with our side too),
If its not a caucus, its a vote with very lax registration requirements that is also open to people registered “independent”.
The system is skewed to strengthen pro-abortion, country club, global warming-type republicans.
I’m a conservative. I don’t care about the Republican Party. First, they obviously want to be liberals and moderates.
Sure, I’ll do something. Put me in charge. The Dems won’t know what hit ‘em...
Thanks for sounding off. Individually I can't affect the national party and its success in a huge way. I will continue with my donations to various efforts and volunteering on campaigns. On the local level I have taken a larger stand. I have advocated and will lead a serious of strategic planning meetings (at least as long as they tolerate me) for my County's Republican Central Committee. I'm not a member of the committee and will be coming at this as a consultant (though unpaid). I've done strat planning consulting for apolitical non-profits in recent years and will offer some of the same skills and techniques to this political organization. Wish me luck!
TOTALLY! By the time we had our Texas Primary, McCain had already been CHOSEN and many candidates had dropped out of the race. Our Primary was a JOKE and a waste of money.
There is a grassroots group that everyone can join and help the cause. In Houston they have already organized and hopefully will make a difference in all future elections. It is an activist group as well.

Closed primaries only. Unless a state has a closed primary, no delegates will be awarded to any candidates. Like caucus states, they will count as nothing more than a straw poll.
Republican primaries will have scheduled dates based on the % that the state voted Republican in the previous POTUS election. The true conservative states will vote first! We will have Republicans choose our candidate, not mushy RINO’s and RATS!
Problem solved.
The “Pocketbook” conservatives in the Republican Party, those who are economic conserviatives only, but make us think that they believe that “it takes all kinds” (tolerant of sodomites and a little grass smoking kind of people), have got to recognize that conservatism is and must mean much more than keeping “free-trade” open with Red China, etc.
I do wish that the lewd, immoral, atheistic Republican Party members would just go ahead and move to the Democratic Party or join up with the Libertarians (Libertines). It would then be easier to support the Republican Party.
thats what america does best anymore...complain...no one will stand up and tell the people what really has to be down to put this country back on track....no one (the people) wants to sacrafice like they did years ago for the sake of this once great nation...look at ww2 folks...people sacraficed alot back then when they were asked to for the survival of this country....todays people are just a spoiled breed.....imho mind you....
First step: A new procedural rule that no state that went blue in the presidential election can hold its primary until after Super Tuesday. The states that had the biggest majorities for the republican candidate in November should be the states that get the earliest influence in the primary process of selecting our next candidate. New Hampshire and all the liberal northeastern states should get to select from the leftovers after the truly red-state GOP voters get to downselect the field.
you are anti-immigrant, anti-minority, anti-poor.
with the growing number of poor immigrants (legal and otherwise) it may just be impossible to elect to true conservative to a national post. this coupled with the rise of the secular anti-religious folks, it just might be a lost cause. thanks to them, true conservatives are thought of as fundamentalist religious freaks.
