I like "Conservative Forum" better than "Conservative Party". It sounds more like a gathering of thinkers and ideas and less like what we already have - a herd of money-chasing cattle who eat what the grass roots produce while dumping on the grass what cattle dump on grass, all the while being prodded by addle-brained party bosses on horseback.
You correctly understand the problem—the GOP is accountable to no one. Conservatives are plantation slaves.
Nice graphic. But you might think about changing it a little bit (considering the connotation)
Screw the connotation. That is for the infantile to giggle about. The tea bag gives the message clearly, is used at the protests and is not going to be sullied by the scum on the left.
95% of decent people in the United States don't even know about that connotation.
So, I understand why you might say that but I strongly disagree, FRiend.
really?
name more than 2 republicans that even come close to actinga nd voting conservative, as has pretty much been the rule for republicans since I was born 56 years ago
So, even if we don't win the whole shebang this time, we'll have made the point. And we'll keep making it until you get it.
Then power-mad pukeneos started squatting in the party with their malevolent plan to takeover----kick conservatives to the curb and cleanse the party of religious voters. Braindead pukenoes figured that worked "so well" for Dems all those years (/sarc). The pukes are responsible for ALL Repub losses---they are a cancer in the party and they must be excised.
Any candidate who wants conservative support MUST punblicy renounce the pukeneos.
=============================================
ATTENTION CONSERVATIVES---PASS THE WORD to tea partiers, 9/12 marchers, pro-lifers,defense of marriage; 2nd amendment, anti ObamaCare; anti-amnesty, anti-cap/trade. These are the terms under which we permit solid conservatives to earn our support:
(1) Your conservative group holds an official position within the campaign;
(2) Your group's issue is affirmed in the candidate's platform;
(3) Your group is in attendance at all campaign strategy meetings;
(4) Your group holds a paid job in the campaign;
(5) Your group holds a position in the winning candidate's elective office.
(6) The candidate publicly renounces pukeneos.
My congressman is Steve King. Do you know what he did yesterday?
This guy is all over TV consistently and yet there was a poster here on FR who claimed they had never heard of him.
Do you not think it possible that you're looking at the overall picture through a very small tube?
If you open your mind, and take a look at congress, you're going to find a core of very conservative Republican senators and representatives.
Did you see this thread today? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-vetscor/2373517/posts
Now, read this and continue to hate Republicans!!
“considering the connotation”
I too didn’t have a clue what that connotation meant until all the liberal talking heads started giggling about it. Of course they would understand it, they are more likely “tea-baggers”!
Leave it in there, we need to force some remembrance of history! Let it repeat itself!
no thanks to you, I hear the same exact wording from liberals about their man
Better idea would be to have the Conservative organization focus on the primaries, ensure that a solid conservative runs in as many Republican primaries as possible, and push conservatives to fully fund conservative candidates.
Make the Party Establishment irrelevant. Conservatives should cease to send money to any Republican Party organization, but only to individual conservative candidates.
republicans today are further left of cennter than democrats were in the 60’s
You couldn’t be more wrong. You have a lot of emotion invested in your point of view and you’re enjoying it and have no intention of opening your eyes. Too bad.
Lack of attention to the apparatus is how we get RINOs.
The way it works is that you get people in the local party who are lawyers, developers, business people -- people who may occasionally need some strings pulled on their personal behalf.
To such a person, a RINO who can trade favors with the Dems is more valuable than a conservative who stands on ideological principles.
have you looked in a mirror lately? your talking points come straight out of a liberal play book, you only change the name of the party you promote
First the GOP/RNC RINO purge, slaughter. Then the Democrats.
Do you know what Congressman King did yesterday?
May I ask a question. Are you a Huckabee supporter?
I agree. I think the GOP and Republican brands have been demonized by the Demrat left to the extent they are no longer viable labels. In any case, I don’t think either of those labels really enunciate what conservatives are about.
I would prefer something along the lines of Constitution Party. That document, and its relevance to America today, is really what the political fight is about right now.
Of course, if conservatives were able to take back the GOP they could change the label—and the mascot. Anybody have any ideas for a Conservative Party mascot? I’m thinking the bald eagle would do nicely. One reason is obvious. It has been our national symbol for a long time. Another is that it, too, is rising from near extinction.
