Yeas, they must become hip hopping, baby killing, fudge packing European socialists. And stop listening to Rush.

Is there a definitive list?
To: pissant
At least when they open their mouths we know who they are. No longer do we need to wonder RINO or not?
make a list... the elections are coming.

Who cares what Pawlenty thinks? This guy showed his colors during the last election.

Pawlenty Says Republicans Need to Move Beyond Reagan to RebuildI think we need to move beyond lame-o double-speak politicians like Pawlenty and back to solid conservative ideas exemplified during the Reagan era.

Ravingnutter Says Republicans Need to Move Beyond Pawlenty to Rebuild
There, I fixed it. As I posted on another thread (re: third party):
The Republican party was once ours and we have let the moderate boneheads take it from us. Now they are just being bullies. We should quit bickering amongst ourselves and confront them.
To: pissant
I guess Brooks was right; the Republican part is still unfit to wield power. Of course Brooks is looking at the conservative part when he disapproves and I'm looking at the Pawlenty part.
To: pissant
Reagan was the blueprint for victory for the Republican Party and for Conservatives.
To say we must look elswhere is utter nonsense, and Pawlenty knows it.
What a dope.

He said the face and voice and tone of the Republican Party and the conservative movement needs to be more about bread-and-butter issues for everyday people.
The GOP is still perceived as the party of big business. And what with their last president signing a $700+150 billion bailout -- for big business.
That is where the Dems trump the Pubbies: The Dems 'appear' to be for the little guy; whereas the GOP 'appears' to be for big business.
Pawlenty is correct that the GOP needs to change the perception. But, so far, they don't have any likely frontrunners who would succeed on that message. Palin comes closer, but forces are going on behind the scenes to keep her away from a presidential bid. The straw poll winner (3rd year in a row, if that means anything) is Romney -- one of the big-business guys.

Like it says in the article, his ninth place finish in the straw poll, suggests otherwise. But I guess there will always be those who simply don't get it.

He should be locked in a room and made to listen to Rush 24/7.
What part of real conservative does he not understand?

I don’t think we need to move beyond, but we have to stop comparing everyone to Reagan, that is like comparing people to George Washington, it just can’t be done. Not saying, we still can’t learn from Reagan, but it is not fair to new people to set them up for a fall because they aren’t Reagan.
