WashTimes: Republican Party policy Draft Rips Bush's "Socialist" Bailouts (Glory Alleluia)
Washington Times ^ | Ralph Zallow

Posted on 12/30/2008 8:30:32 AM PST by quesney

A group of Republican leaders including the vice-chair of the Republican National Committee say they will try in January to pass a resolution accusing President George Bush and congressional Republican leaders of embracing "socialist" policies. Pretty blunt.

(having some trouble accessing the website since it was put up on Drudge Report)

You need to find a better photo for a dog to represent the GOP.

I can’t be sure, but it looks like that dog still has a pair.

Post of the Day?

You are forgetting the Basic Rule of Conservatism:

No One Is Conservative Enough!

Remember that by current Free Republic standards, even Reagan was a RINO (amnesty for illegals, remember?)

Broken-glass Republicans are a myth, too; how many conservatives stayed home the last two election cycles, while The Left came out in hordes?

"pass a resolution accusing President George Bush and congressional Republican leaders of embracing "socialist" policies.

"Is the party waking up?"

Not until they start opposing DEMOCRATS.

Bush’s masters said “go forth and grow the government” and Bush said “yes masters”.

Those so-called Republican leaders should focus on thwarting OBAMA's socialist/Marxist agenda, instead of attacking President Bush in the final days of his presidency.

The Republicans seem to enjoy blasting more each other than attacking Democrats. Each different brand (Fiscal, Neo, Moderate, Compassionate) is more comfortable blaming each other for election losses, etc... than trying to figure out how to move forward and get the American people behind them.

Many Freepers seem to enjoy this concept/practice as well.

Free Republic is home to many Perfect Conservatives(tm).

Only the Perfect Conservatives(tm) of FR can determine if you are conservative enough ...

how many conservatives stayed home the last two election cycles, while The Left came out in hordes?

If you sat home the last two elections, than you are NO better than the Left.

What those Republicans are doing is pathetic, and people here cheering them on seem to enjoy watching the continued destruction of the Republican party and rise of the Democrats. Republican infighting was what got us Obama and the Dem majority in Congress.

No, socialists in the republican ranks is what cost us the election. When conservatives act conservative, they win. When they try to imitate the dems, they lose. Happens every time.

Instead of promoting party unity to stand against the Democrats and raising money so Republican candidates would have a chance against the Dem machine, they are promoting division among Republicans, to further diminish any chances of the Republicans rising again.

The GOP has to purge itself of its enemies within before it can ever hope to defeat its external enemy.

If that’s turns out to be their only alternative, then I’m fine.

Right now, this is all a proposal.

But I have no reason to trust republicans. And the way they speak leaves much to be desired.

As I said, it doesn’t matter who makes the proposal. A conservative who proposes socialism with a conservative twist is still proposing socialism.

I don’t want to get off the fast train ride to socialism only to get on the slow train ride to socialism.

I want off this damn train! I want the train stopped. I want my liberty back.

“Broken-glass Republicans are a myth, too; how many conservatives stayed home the last two election cycles, while The Left came out in hordes?”

So for the Repukes breaking records in government spending and doing everything they could to be “compassionate” ad then nominating a POS like McJerkass, you would reward them.

I think I am beginning to understand the difference between “Conservative” and “Republican.”

I’m not a pubbie, nor a conservative apparently.

Since the definition of conservative is “anyone else but MEEE!!!”, that means no one matches up to your defintion, O Conservative Messiah.

Garbage!

It was moderate Republicans, such as yourself and McCain, and their constant whining about how we need to move to the center (Left), along with GWB who used his "Compassionate" label to cover up his liberal fiscal positions on the issues along with the inane and completely wrong support of Illegal Aliens and amnesty that have gotten the GOP into the mess it is today.

Don't attack people for telling the truth, and please drop your support for such non-Republicans as McCain et. all.

Wow!

Nice example of deflection.

Grunthor simply and concisely and correctly explained the differences and you brush him off with an attempt at sliming him.

Good job Old Sarge!
