And that simple fact is offensive in the extreme to me. This is like stating that the purpose of the Mother Superior is to prevent the nuns from becoming prostitutes and making money working in a church sponsored whorehouse. That is EXACTLY what the RINOS are doing - they have such a man-crush on the Dims that they would eagerly enslave their own mother for an approving smile. If they had shame, if they had a spine; the mere thought would be repulsive - yet the RINOs eagerly embrace their political foes.
The RINOS in office, want (with all their heart) to follow the Dims. We have to put a gun to their heads to force them to do what should be second nature.
As much as I may protest, as much as I hold the RNC in utter contempt, at the end of the day I hold my nose and pull the RNC lever.
Bill Bennett is the embodiment of neoconservative Big Government conservatism.
His opinion is noted, but he clearly has a dog in this fight.
The job of the conservative base and the Tea Party movement IS to keep the Republicans faithful to conservative principles.
“And that simple fact is offensive in the extreme to me.”
I feel your pain man. We really have to play Mother Superior. We really have to get at Mitch McConnell over the Frankenstein 0bamacare meeting. He is weakening and growing a long rino horn. Get out the cat o nine tails for the rinos!
Would you hire someone you didn't trust? Would you risk your home, your possessions, your economic freedom and your retirement? How about if you knew beyond a reasonable doubt that this employee would gleefully embezzle, and through mis-managment would intentionally and without remorse bankrupt you. Would you keep him in your employ?
Now, what you do, is your business - but as for me - I'd fire him on the spot, and make d*mn sure he didn't take anything of worth with him when he left, I would refuse to give him a reference, and would hold him accountable (personally accountable) for every mis-managment step he took.
So, for me - if the bum is an incumbent, I'll vote againt him. If I have a choice between an incumbant RINO or a 3rd party (Libertarian), I'll vote for the Libertarian. It's just that simple. I vote to fire each and every Republican in Congress - without exception. Exterminate the lot of them. That will send a message that even a spineless RINO that is not up for election can understand. "You are fired, go home, get a real job and suffer under the laws you have placed upon the rest of us."
That's where I stand. Exterminate every last RNC member in Congress and replace them with a Conservative. A Conservative doesn't need to read the polls, he knows what his values are.
You are so right GoCards. We don’t need to squabble among ourselves. It’s better to address the policy without scalding the man or woman who agrees with us on a majority of policies. This is a weakness in the movement that hampers progress towards our common goals.
I own a business. Of course, I hire people that I like and I think will do a good job. But I only have one vote to elect a politician. Many people will cancel out my vote and unfortunately, I don’t have the same power in determining the outcome of an election as I do with hiring for my business.
When I vote, I have to consider many factors. Ideology, electability,and often sadly the choice of the lesser evil. That is just the way the world is.
There are some really good Libertarian candidates. But if they weaken the conservative cause, I will oppose them if they allow an even worse candidate to prevail. The Libertarians are just too small to make a difference now. Believe me, we will never see a Libertarian party candidate win much of anything significant in our lifetimes. Now if we have another NY-23 RNC candidate, I am with you bro’. Our job is to prevent that scenario.
My tagline says it all. I hope we can work together. It sure beats a circular firing squad.
You are correct, I agree. And the fragmentation of the RNC between the Libertarians, Consitutional and other Conservative 'splinter groups' would simply ensure the DIMS won every election going forward. As much as I agreed with Ross Perot, and his policies; his run for office gave us Clinton.
What I would hope to see, is the RNC move away from their love and admiration they hold for the DNC, and replace those ideals with the ideals held by the Constitutional, Libertarian and other 'splinter' groups. The basic ideal of the Republican party has been lost; and the fools we have in office today neither have the desire, nor the motivation to change their ways. They have sold their souls, and the lives of their grand-children for 13 pieces of silver today.
Mr Beck is most certainly way off the reservation with his constantly claiming to be the product of having found his way to AA and parading his “recovering alcoholic” status.
AA’s Big Book says: “To show other alcoholics PRECISELY HOW WE HAVE RECOVERED is the main purpose of this book” (page xiii) And says recovered scores of other times, too. And AA also includes “anonymous” in its name — and in its tenets. That is so those sufferers of the disease who haven’t found AA yet, don’t have to look at those who trumpet their membership and think, “Hell, Man, I’d rather be drunk than be a Glenn Beck!”
“Recovering alcoholic,” meanwhile, is the invention of the fraudulent “treatment” center industry and of those statisticians who prefer we call them “psychologists.” And of those “drug and alcohol” “councilors” and “therapists” who lump the disease of Alcoholism (that has a diagnosis and recognizable symptoms) together with the consequences of bad choices and worse actions those who’ve made them and taken them prefer we call “addiction.” Yet another bullsh*t word invented by those who make their living defrauding insurance companies.
As for the “libertarian” Mr Beck’s take on any real similarities between actual Republicanism and the vast criminal enterprises that prefer we call them by their street name, the “Democratic” potty?
In my judgment Mr Recovering Beck’s a better front man for the touchy-feely health-insurance-company robbers than he is for we lovers of America’s Founding Law.
Glenn Beck - a buffoon by any other name!
