Cantor, Palin and Jindal have all damaged their standing with conservatives. And for what? Just to hang out with McCain?
So, I asked Stapleton, is Palin heading out on a listening tour?
No, she said, Palin's not going on tour and has no events scheduled with the group.

They should call it what is is ‘Dimocrate Lite’ no taste and no substance just filling!
Cantor is just another twit, get him in the background where he belongs. At present, we have one viable Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. We have no others, at present. Maybe someone else will surface, but I don’t see any signs of a single politician with enough guts, other than perhaps the Texas governor. But I would rather he stay in Texas, in case I need to move there. We all might need to move there.
Regardless of that the scope of her involvement has been (surprise) been overblown.
There’s nothing grass roots about John McCain, or any other member of Congress for that matter. It defies the whole definition of “grass roots”. But, John McCain, more than anyone, needs to ride off into the sunset and stop hurting the GOP for his own ego.
A newAmerica...I don't even like the name. This sounds like progressive Obama BS...we want the best of the old America, not a new country with new values...hence 'conservatives.' Thanks just the same. DOA.
She is not going to ANY events with them, how is that damaging her..if she were hanging with these people, yeah maybe I would see your point, but she has not gone to any of their events and has no plans to. She is just playing it safe, she doesn’t want to piss off everyone in the Republican party. She does need allies ya know, even if those allies are dirt bags
Cantor is absolutely pathetic. He needs to take a hike.
Cantor is my guy in congress and I think he’s terrific, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why he would align with McCain.
And oh the irony of inside-the-beltway career politicians creating a “grass-roots movement”.
We don’t need a group. We need individuals who have what it takes to be honest about who they are.
We need grown men that have studied American Histroy, know what it means to be conservative, and are able to articulate the pro-America, pro-conservative viewpoint without having to “listen”. The people follow leaders. If you are a mish-mash of incongruous nonsense, they will follow a demagogue who lies well.
Oops, I forgot, none of these "moderate 'New American' GOP" candidates got elected.
Could it possibly be that they were just the kind of "Republicans" that Colin Powell, Eric Canter and others believe we need in the Republican Party???
Leave them in the Party -- just don't run them for top spots. They've already proven they cannot get elected to office!
I watched him being interviewed by Regretta Van Sustren the other night. He was so PC and RINOISH in the interview I was screaming at the tv, “And the difference between you and the democrats is???” You are the lets do it on the cheap version! He blabbered part of the democrats talking points for the last 20 yrs. If your spouting your enemies talking points as something you want to do, something is clearly screwed up in your head!
If this is the best the republicans can come up with God help us they are scared of their own shadows when answering a question, less they come across as conservatives.
AMEN to that pissant. And pressuring Palin to come on board will not “pacify us” as it is intended to do. We know you are using her, again!
Even the name of the group sounds ghoulish.
The National Council for a New America...
Give me a break.
It will take about five minutes for that name alone, to alienate every single person not already a card carrying Conservative, they could have hoped to get behind the agenda.
How about something like the Council to Study and Reconnect With our Founding Principles. Thus it would indicate the strengthening of individual liberties, state’s rights, and the proper role of the federal government.
By the way, do we want a new America? No, we want the old America, sans the things that our Founding Fathers were unable to eliminate at our founding.
Damned if these puddin’ heads didn’t trash our nation in one fell swoop. New America? Good grief, even they seem to think our Founding Principles were faulty.
Mike Pence is GREAT, but again, we need him where he is, and Congressmen don’t usually get elected to President. But then until the annointed one, Senators didn’t really either!
