A Crucial Message to the Grassroots [the Rove/Romney GOP power grab]
SteveDeace.com ^ | 8/27/2012 | Morton Blackwell

Posted on 08/27/2012 6:35:37 PM PDT by JediJones

The following [are excerpts from] an email sent out by Morton Blackwell of the Leadership Institute

I was Barry Goldwater’s youngest elected delegate in 1964, I was honored toserve on President Ronald Reagan’s White House Staff from 1981-1984, and I have attended every Republican National Convention Rules Committee meeting since 1972. My wife and I have contributed major donations to the Romney-Ryan campaign.

These rule changes are the most awful I’ve ever seen come before any National Convention.

I’m writing you today to urge you to join the growing effort to stop the worst-ever changes in this Rules Committee’s Report

But many state leaders, liberty-minded activists, and grass-roots conservatives are up-in-arms as word of this power grab spreads.

it would amount to a power grab by Washington, D.C. party insiders and consultants designed to silence the voice of state party activists and Republican grassroots

These rule changes would give good folks like you less of a say over our Republican Party in favor of insiders and consultants in Washington, D.C.

We can WORK with and ON Romney.

He gets more liberal every day. He ran from Romneycare during the Primaries and now he touts it and his "Plan" is to replace Obamacare with a Federal Mandate that all 50 states implement a similar program as a Replacement to Obamacare.

Since he sewed up the nomination he has come out for homosexual adoption, is pleased with homosexuals in the military, wants homosexual boy scouts. Frankly I think he is a closet homosexual himself since he apparently is not repulsed by the vision of men and boys buggering each other and think such behavior is both normal and acceptable.

May God give us strength.

Why would he do that for an America that elects an Abortion loving, homosexual agenda promoting, Socialist, polytheist?

We can fight Obama from the trenches but if Romney is elected then the war is over.
AMEN! Glad to see some sense on this thread, I have had nothing but flames on other threads from saying the same. If Romney is elected we will be fighting BOTH the GOPe and the Rats. We ARE NOT going to let Obama destroy this country in 4 years, not sure I can say the same about Mitt in 8. Do I want another 4 years of Obama? NO. Am I going to vote for Obama? NO. Am I going to vote for Mitt? NO. The choice of 4 years of fighting Obama or 8 fighting the GOPe and the Rats- well that's the choice the GOPe gave us, isn't it? My next bumper sticker will be CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE '16.

If Willard wins he will have one term to try and destroy conservatism. He would be almost 70 years if he ran again.
Time for conservatives to take over the party. Can’t happen this year, but it damn sure can happen in 2016.

Not enough time for a 3rd party this election, but perhaps next time.
Seem our 2 major parties now are democrat and communist.

Well FRiends, maybe because in the last election, a 3rd tri-mester Abortion loving, quite possibly bisexual, anti-colonialist Marxist, Muslim was elected : o

As my career Navy father used to say - “God, government and the U.S.Navy move in strange ways.”

We must do what we can, when we can, with what we have. My personal belief is that God works that way, and though, Lord knows I don’t always succeed, I do try my best to follow His lead.

May God keep watch.

“Gotta love how Matt “Mitt Romney buttboy for 5 years and counting” Drudge isn’t covering this story.”

After Bloody Thursday, there are a half dozen in that circle that are dead to me, and will never be otherwise.

Republicans are such losers. This morning the Romney-Ryan ticket is leading BO/Biden and they have to drum up rules changes. No wonder voters think the conservatives are a lunatic fringe.

Don’t know why you pinged me, I just sit and mind my own business these days.

However after reading just a couple of posts here, at least I’ll know who to blame if/when we get four more years of complete tyranny from the current WH occupant.

Thanks to the “purists” who won’t vote for a Republican running against this marxist thug, we will have nothing resembling the country we all grew up in after four more years (or more). Yes, we will have NOTHING... but the purists — oh, they will have their precious principles... but absolutely nothing else.

“...but the purists — oh, they will have their precious principles... but absolutely nothing else.”

No, they won’t. The marixist/lib-dem/racist/hate-America thugs will come for them first, or have them hit with drone strikes. If we don’t get rid of the POS-In-Chief and all of the subhuman filth he’s put in-place over the past 4yrs, this America we grew up in, fought and died for, and prayed for, is gone for good. Hell, it’s almost unrecognizable now!
