Interesting article.
I was surprised no one had already posted it here.
These should be posted on every republican elected officials office and in every Republican campaign headquarters.
There are two more messages:
6. You cannot win elections without the conservative votes, period.
7. Conservatives will no longer vote for the “lesser evil” just because there is an “R” next to the name.
The GOP needs to support real conservatives or else go the way of the Whigs. I will not prop up a failed party. I vote conservative, and if that hurts the GOP's chances, then they have no one to blame but themselves.
No more RINO’s. I will not vote for another RINO. I’d rather have a loyal minority that can swing enough phone calls and worried Rats to derail any new legislation. If the status qou is the best we can get..let’s hang on to that, but I won’t vote for a CA Rino Governator that favors amnesity and the welfare state. They should be running as Rats.
That alone speaks volumes.
The ‘elite’ had better start paying attention. These five points pretty much sum up my attitude.
Get on board or else you will be steamrolled. We are getting fed up and things are gonna change and I’m not talking the hopey change thingy.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
"Don't tell me you're pro-life and then do absolutely NOTHING to stop the daily slaughter of thousands of American children."
Hear, hear! We brung you to the dance, GOP, and we can leave you by the punchbowl all alone. If conservatives don’t see you as worthy of our votes, who will?
Works for me........:)
The response from the Rockefeller Republicans is:
You can't win with just the conservative votes either.
While that trite little piece of drivel sounds good in sound bites it is misleading. Nobody has ever said, "Screw it all we need is conservatives votes, everyone else can go pound sand."
What conservatives have to offer rings true with almost everyone because that is usually how they live their lives.
People are innately, if not consciously, aware that you can't spend more than you take in.
They crave and seek out the stability of a nuclear family.
They know there is something unique called "American" and that no matter where you come from you can become an "American"... without a hyphen.
They play by the rules and are insulted when those in charge of enforcing the rules look the other way, whether it is on Wall Street or the border.
If conservatives make a positive appeal to how people live their lives then they can bring in more than the self-identified conservatives.
I agree; the response to the Rockefeller Republicans should be that candidates who run and then govern on true conservative principles do in fact win. At least in the productive areas of the country. And, when you get down to it, following the conservative principles you outlined is simply the “right thing to do.” (I know; alien concept in Washington).
While the Rockefeller Republicans are right in that a conservative has no chance taking Maxine Waters’ or Nancy Pelosi’s seat, it’s still the right way to live your life and govern a country. Once you compromise away from this principle, then it’s just about power.
We just aren’t going to play that game any more. The GOP better realize that or it will become extinct.
It is embarrassing to continue reading this garbage from so-called conservatives and republicans. Do some homework for crying out loud and learn what the purpose of TARP was before continuously railing against it.
The perversion of TARP is open to ridicule, but not the original intent.
He left off “ We’re not going to take it anymore”
and restore the constitution...which they claim only gives people the right to due process..and all power belongs to the feds....
