Socialists still control it. Does it really matter if they call themselves a democrat of republican?
Your cynicism is abhorrent to the principles that define FR. FR is against socialism, of course, and many of us on FR support the GOP with the approval of FR's owner. If the GOP were a socialist party, those supporting it would've all been banned a long time ago!
Today's move gives the GOP control of the senate - important for organizational matters and navigating legislation through the state system. The national GOP needs to be reformed, and some of its members (who some call RINOS) and the GOP in the NYS Senate in particular might not be your conservative cup of tea, but I'm sick and tired reading posts from cynical, shallow, small-minded individuals chronically equating the GOP with the socialists.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. So take a good, clear look at the political landscape - the nation isn't anywhere near as conservative as we are on FR. Holding out for some fantasy conservative tidal wave at this moment is counter productive, as the other side methodically advances their agenda.
If you think that there is no difference between Obama's policies of destruction, and the policies of most GOP Governors or past Republican presidents, you have a very serious problem.
Heh..
Its like you idiots have a f-—ing script you read off of...
I heard the exact same sh-t from “small-minded” POS’s during the Arnold - McClintock war that raged on this forum.
Here is a reminder of those days...
“Prominent California Republicans are sharply increasing the pressure on state Sen. Tom McClintock to drop out of the gubernatorial recall election, clearing the field for Arnold Schwarzenegger after a poll showed the actor’s performance in Wednesday night’s debate was well-received.
“It’s everyone’s preference to have one Republican on the ballot,” said Mike Wintemute, spokesman for the California Republican Party. “How we get there is still in dispute. Will it happen on its own, or will it take more pressure in terms of endorsements?”
That pressure increased greatly yesterday.”
Well, I guess its easy to find out how THAT turned out... Pretty much EXACTLY like conservatives like me said it would.
Have fun with that whole thing. Well see how it turns out for you. Hint: New York is f-—ing doomed to a socialist hell. bet on it. Whos living in a god damn fantasy land? No matter how hard it might be to get lazy ass limited government type conservatives up and moving in the same direction for any length of time it is still more likely than squeezing blood from a turnip or expecting “liberal” “republicans” to somehow give you a federal government that is as limited in scope and size as was intended.
Regardless, all its going to take to push the rest of the limited government types over the edge of radicalization is one or two more un-f-—ing-believable usurpations by the fedgov. Were almost there now...
We must understand this basic fact! If we attack each other the Democrats win. That is a fact! I want pols that are conservative on the big issues. Taxes, defense, smaller government. I can handle them being a little squishy on social questions.
