Step 1: The first rule of the establishment is: Do not admit you are part of the establishment! Step 2: Disarm them with praise Step 3: Moderate whoever they pick as the 2012 nominee. Step 4: Teach them about compromise. Step 5: Never forget reality

What a pathetic failure. I give you 4 days to come up with the name of a candidate who has not been called a "RINO" on the pages of FR and you give me your "Purity List".

Thanks for proving my point. Take your place next to the Occupy Wall Street losers.

[Deb]

Since you've inserted yourself into the conversation on the side of the malcontents...you answer my original question and name the candidate who has not been called a "RINO" on the pages of FR.

You "C'mon", mouth-breather.

[Deb]

Sorry, you fail. Haven't you heard? According to posters on Sarah threads, she's a "heretic" and "pro-abortion" and, sadly, a RINO.

Herman Cain supports Alan Greenspan...RINOism. Michelle Bachmann apparently isn't Sarah Palin and therefore, a RINO.

So, I guess no one is pure enough for the malcontents on FR and they are happy to have Barak Hussein Obama at the helm of our country because you know how super-important "principles" are.

Can you answer Finny’s list in 190?
What are you willing to compromise?

As a micro example; CA elected a squishy Republican as governor during the recall of a liberal. Rejected a true conservative in the process thanks to the CAGOP throwing their support behind the celebrity.

He proceeded to so tarnish the name “Republican” that EVERY elected office in CA went to the rats in the last election. Acted like a liberal in almost every sense of the term. Voters figured, what the hell, at least with a liberal I know what I’m getting vs. the “Republican” who can’t take a principled position and fight for them.

Take this to a macro level, a “Republican” President who is a Republican in name only. Proceeds to implement many of the same or similar type policies as the socialist piece of crap we have now. What purpose is served other than to essentially destroy what “Republican” stands for?

Not saying there has to be a 99.9%er, but damn, we can sure as hell do a lot better than many of the names that are running.

Your mocking of FReepers who deem the current GOP as “establishment elites” is patently absurd because that is what they’ve proven they are. They are not getting out front and center confronting the socialists for taking us down these numerous, ill-fated paths. They are complicit in these actions because they haven’t fought for their supposed principles or conservative ideals.

What would you have us call them?

[SZonian]

"Blah, blah, blah. The Democrats love these threads. "

They love "compromisers" even more...

Sorry, you fail.

No, actually, your black-sky demoralization fails. Spreading that crap on FR will get you punched out, GF, word to the wise.

Not buying your RiNO patter -- "die, die, all your bases belong to Us, we are victorious RiNO's, drink the Kool-Aid, Muffy and Buffy command you!" Take a hike, yacht girl.

Have a nice day.
