RG,
Welp I gotta say my piece here...I was one who entertained the notion of a third party, mentally at least.
Cause it’s grueling fighting these RINOS, I just cannot emphasize this enough. Add to it that the media is on their side, dear Lord.
But you’re right, as you often are.
Real Conservatives, ie not Democrats Lite, have a right to control of that party.
What we had to do in Delaware....we had to have constant secret meetings. We had to read the rules, we had to recruit newer voting members, we had secret email lists and open web sites.
We argued and called each other names and when it came to the keyboard I accept my role as a champion, insert smile here. I beat them down to a bloody pulp made quite easy because a) well hell, THEY WERE WRONG and b)I was able to quite effectively point it out, thank me very much.
If nothing else, the Republican party needs better communicators. the Dems got us beat nine ways from Sunday. it’s as if standing tall and spitting out the truth will get the perfectly placed head hairs mussed.
So hey, some might tell me (and many have), the Delaware Republican party will go nowhere now that you’ve thrown out the “moderates”.
Hey, I’d rather have a Democrat vote for global warming causes, raise the taxes, cap and tax, insert any liberal stupid thing here....than a REPUBLICAN!
that’s the choice we made in Delaware and we’ll live with it.
Give the RINOS time, stick to it, and believe, as RG said, the Ruling Class Blue Blood GOP doesn’t own that party, God didn’t say so, keep chipping away at them, and soon enough, they’ll get the message.
Even though Christine lost we gained simply by throwing those who attacked her "on our side" under the Tea Party Bus which quickly ran them over. They still have tread marks/scars and probably will think twice about changing sides again.
Now watching Rep Kevin McCarthy, R, Calif, I believe. I like his answer to Candy Crowley’s question as to what the Repubs are giving up, or, ahem, the big word of the week, SACRIFICE?
He says, heh, that the Repubs are willing to raise the debt ceiling, THAT’S their compromise.
Well okay, I’m good with that.
But again, why aren’t the Repubs, McConnell, et al, out and saying this very thing? Further, here’s a pub talking point they could use....follow me here...if Obama wants to go after millionaires, billionaires, corporate jet owners and big corps...WHY DIDN’T GE PAY ANY INCOME TAX LAST YEAR?
Risk the mussed head hairs Republicans! Say it over and over and over.
Anyway, late in the thread, two off-topic kind of things.
Guess what I did last week?
It’s about wild facial hairs, a purchased wax package from the grocery, and the loss of all the skin on my right-hand ring finger.
The South Koreans what wrote the instructions told me to “heat for 90 seconds on ‘medium’”. What the hell does that mean?
Well I did use power level 5, which is mid-range of the ten powers I have on my GE, ahem...keeping it relevant, microwave.
Hardly softened the wax for God’s sake!
So I zapped it full strength figuring maybe that’s what those Chinese mean.
When I removed the container, some scalding....and I mean scalding screaming across the fruited plains, wax fell upon my finger, and, as I threw the container down, all around my kitchen.
Husband desperately trying to remove the wax stuck to my seriously hurting finger as the cold water he thrust my hand under for my screams only hardened the stuff to cause me more agony as the skin melted away underneath. Took us two days to scrape the wax up from all kitchen surfaces, using hot iron and razor blades.
If this sounds horrible, well it was.
As of now it’s scabbing up and I’m going to not only live, I might actually heal. Going on second week now, a real pain to bend my finger but there you have it.
On a brighter note, made some really good soup in the slow-cooker, called “spicy tomato beef soup”. gotta brown some ground beef, add a big jar spaghetti sauce, can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos, couple cups of water, some onions and green peppers, cook on low for six hours. Real good taste, nice soup, I’m thinking it could be even be served cold in this heat of summer.
Speaking of summer, dag, I been eating summer right in my mouth in the form of watermelon and canteloupe now in full season here in the swamps. Watermelon adores the swampy ground here and one bite, close eyes, and there’s summer, right in your mouth.
Still watching Candy....now that stupid Democrat lying guy from Merryland, Chris Van Hollen.
He’s got a smirky evil smile, don’t he?
