Good - let all the RINO putzes show us who they are.
Tom DeLay, Grover Norquist, and Ralph Reed were major contributors to this fine organizing principle.
If we could just get the congress to increase the number of congress-critters then more Americans can benefit from these great organizing principles.
Whiney whiney. Read the papers.

Remember, Dissent is Patriotic.
AlGore-iths-ims are all “out of this world.” [Math play on words]
So we should run with the lemmings after the phony science of "global warming?" Huntsman needs to sit down for a talk with Jim Inhofe.
Conservatism. It wins every time it’s tried. If we wanted anything the Democrat/Socialists are selling, then we’d be Democrats. What good is a Republican Party that is socialist lite?
Global warming? Why is it that every town Al Gore goes into, he is followed immediately by a blizzard and freezing weather?
Nobody faults sensible environmental care of our earth. Conservatives are not against clean air and clean water. Bankrupting industries in favor of rabid environmentalism THEORIES is stupid. Global warming is a THEORY; and then there’s a theory that global warming is a liberal hoax to grab the wealth and control people.
Ignorance is curable, stupidity is not.
That's one of the most deliberately dishonest things that liberals do, conflating traditional environmentalism with "the fight against climate change."
The latter will leave "the land" covered with windmills and solar panels.
I feel like I have stepped into the Twilight Zone...and I have suddenly become an extremist for having principles, no not principles but absolutes.
Boehner Says House GOP Not Shifting to the Right; Other Leaders Disagree
Forget Ronald Reagan, Says GOP Senator
Gov sure knows his science doesn’t he.
Huntsman is a McCainiac RINO. His billionaire dad is a much better conservative.
2010 is going to be the make-or-break election for the GOP. If they do not return to the conservative-libertarian principles that helped them win landslides, they are going to be history, mark my words. And I have no intention on supporting RINOs at all levels of government.
Agreed. There is a huge difference between what used to be called conservation and modern environmentalism.
Conservation, which, as one might surmise from its name, was fairly conservative in nature (no pun intended), whereas modern environmentalism has been hijacked by a leftwing political agenda.
““When you put it in words they understand like clean air, pristine lands, and pure water, they get it,” Huntsman said. “
Pretty condescending of him. I guess when you make millions of dollars producing plastic containers for fast food, you can get after other people for not caring for the environment. But here’s the problem: the only way to have pristine lands, pure water and clean air is to get rid of people, animals, plants and wind. Everything in reality is a tradeoff between benefits and costs and environmentalists don’t want to address the costs of their chimerical benefits. Conservatives and Republicans might more readily listen if such reality were part of the debate on these issues.
I read the first few paragraphs and laughed and then scrolled up to see who wrote this hilarious satire. It (apparently) is not a satire piece at all. This assclown Huntsman has genuinely been duped by the "global warming" hoaxers. God save this nation.
Hmmmmm.... maybe some what.
I'm much more concerned with the Repub party's inability or perhaps unwillingness to clearly articulate conservative principles. If we can't convince Americans on something so painful simple as protecting our southern border for example, then who cares what we think about the tax code?
Rational environmental policy fits easily within conservative policy and why that can't be explained, along with many other core issues, is why we are now on the sidelines watching our country be taken over by the irrational.
I was always ticked at Huntsman I never knew his reasons for putting up the money to back McCain.
Jon’s father was NO liberal the one who made the family wealth.
I was aware Jon would not support Romney because Mitt decided not to have LDS in his cabinet, because it might cause the wrong preceptions.
Global warming is not a theory. It is mearly an hypothesis as to what drives the temperature fluctuations that have been observed. The other competeting hypothesis is that these temperature fluctuations are driven by natural variations is solar output, as indicated by sunspot activity. Based on the data I’ve seen (and I am a scientist) is that the latter hypothesis is far more supportable.
Protect innocent life.
Protect wealth.
Protect nation.
Defend founding principles.
Is there difficulty?
Wherein lies the problem with articulating Conservative principles?
