I sure hope he feels better after his little rant.
With McLame playing drum major for the BIGGER-government-by-inches parade?
No thanks.

BO's election now has us on the express-train to socialism, and I'd rather be around for the collapse of government than to leave it for my grandchildren to deal with.
Exactly!
I disagree. If we take over the party (think moveon.org) and force those that want our support to fight for republican principles we will win elections. The greatest period of growth and energy in the Pub party was when the Christian Coalition was in it's zenith. We need a new PAC that fills the same function.
Conservatives don't have their equivalent of George Soros. 99% of conservatives are simply hard working middle class people who live more or less pay check to pay check and who dream of someday being able to retire in comfort.
The Republican party has long been run by North Eastern liberals who live off contributions from billionaires and corporations. That is why the Republican party is often referred to as the "Party of the Rich".
I'm not sure they would miss our $100 donations. Also, I don't know how a conservative is supposed to work his way into the RNC heirarchy. In fact, I don't even know who runs the Republican party.
BTW what do you mean "regain"?
"The Republican Party can either stand for smaller government, lower taxes and freer people, or it can rot in hell."
That's wraps it up perfectly.
I agree with you. Most of the current mess (at all levels) happened on our "watch" so to speak, and I am not quite coward or hypocrite enough to be comfortable leaving my progeny "holding the bag".
I want my young son and my young grand-children (and THEIR children) to grow up in a truly FREE society, the government of which is ACTUALLY based on the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and the economy of which is based on REAL capitalism. I fear it is too late to SAVE what we (used to) have. So, the sooner Obama and his handlers destroy what is left, the sooner we can try to re-build another REAL Republic from the ashes of the National Socialism under which we currently live.
Step 1: Work to close all the primaries for national office; registered party members only.
With your line of thinking, perhaps you can get a job with the marketing department of GM.
If we can find a PAC that will represent us and only fund candidates that hold our views why not find out if they will miss our money. Moveon.org did get bank rolled by Soros, but we have forums like this. If we can identify a particular PAC we can count on instead of giving anything to the GOP give it to that PAC and when the GOP solicits funds tell them to ask that PAC. In short order the GOP will become very sensitive to that PAC and it's concerns.
BTW what do you mean "regain"?
There was a moment when the PUBS first earned a majority in the House where conservatism was the guiding force. It's when they moved away from "The Contract with America" that they started losing their way.
“Reach out? He has to be joking. These people will NEVER become conservatives. Neither will union workers, gays, feminists, welfare recipients, illegals, teachers, and the entire state of New York.”
FORM OUR OWN PARTY. What is so difficult here?
That was a grass roots movement headed by Newt. It died the very day Newt left office. The Republican Party itself probably opposed the Contract with America.
I disagree. Step one is for all conservatives to look away from the GOP. Instead work hard and donate money to true grassroots conservative groups. Work to make them as effective as the numerous left grassroots groups. If we could ever get to the position where conservative groups held the keys to the money then, and only then will we control the GOP.
No true conservative should ever send a dime to the GOP directly. They use the money against us.
We were sure on the same wavelength. See my post 53.
Unfortunately those days are long gone. It won't happen again.
Surely, you can see the extreme threat that is in Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
The libs are perfectly content to take whatever they can get incrementally. It's our side that wants it all or nothing. Why give up gained territory?
Unfortunately, most of those organizations you mention sold their souls to the exact same people who killed the GOP.
If the Republican Party keeps "gaining territory" at this clip, the Democrats will control every square inch of this country.
My position: conservatives need to CHANGE (excuse the term) the Republican party, not abandon it.
