Jenny, I respect that, but I think a lot of us are very angry that the GOP has been run into the ground by RINOs without any respect for core conservative values. Heck, our PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE for 2008 was the biggest RINO of all! We LOST because of the RINOs!
We should be talking about these issues. It’s a shame that we can’t do it in a friendly way amongst ourselves. But the RINOs in power don’t want the discussion at all. They just want to kiss Dim butt as long as they get a place at the trough. Rush upsets the apple cart on this cozy arrangement, that’s part of why he has such a large following.
Bottom line, and it is a sad one: We can’t have unity yet because we have some SERIOUS questions to settle on where the Republican party really is. Conservative? Dim Lite? These are questions that need to be answered. And it’s a power struggle. Power does not concede gently, so wear a hardhat.
There are a lot of independents that voted for Obama that I'm guessing have big time buyers’ remorse right now. If not now, they will very soon. We all know how he ran during the general election. Nothing more than a strategy. He governs....well, we see how he's doing that. That is not how he got those independent voters. Steele seems to be taking their strategy to just get enough votes to win. He's using their playbook. That's not our style.
I just want the guy to be clear so I know what he “really” means when he speaks. If he was principled, this shouldn't be a problem. The fact that it's not clear gives me great concern.
Our Republican Leadership lacks the political fortitude to oppose Obama and call him what he is; a Marxist. What they dont understand is their political future depends on this very thing.
I actually agree with you, V.G., but I also think that this Steele/Rush issue just might start to fire up true Conservatives enough to start taking back our party. I’m not seeing a lot of split here. I’m seeing a huge coming together. We’ll always have our RINOS, but it sure does my heart good to see all the solidarity for Rush and for conservatism.
